The Rev Report - October 24, 2025

Posted Date: 10/24/25 (7:29 PM)

Dear ABRHS Community,

This week, we enjoyed Spirit Days at the high school! My personal favorite was Anything But the Backpack Day, in which students carry their belongings using items such as grocery carts and suitcases. We are also looking forward to our Golden Gala Homecoming Dance tomorrow night! Thank you to the Student Council and their advisors for organizing this wonderful evening for our community.

Homecoming Dance - Saturday, October 25, 7:00 - 9:30 pm, Stearns Gym

Tickets were sold for the Homecoming Dance during lunches this week. Ticket sales are now closed and will not be sold at the door. To ensure a safe and enjoyable night for all, students and families are asked to review and adhere to the following guidelines for the dance.

Winter Athletics - Registration Open through November 16

Winter 2025-2026 Athletic Registration will open on Friday, October 24. Student-athletes interested in Winter Athletics may register online with FamilyID through Sunday, November 16. A physical exam dated within the last 13 months must be on file with the school nurses. Email physicals to Erin Doherty (edoherty@abschools.org) or Colleen McGovern (cmcgovern@abschools.org). All winter student-athletes and parents/caregivers will meet for our Winter Preseason Athletic Meeting in early December.

Athletic Interest Survey for Students

We are asking all students to complete this brief Athletic Interest Survey by Friday, October 31. The purpose of this survey is to help us better understand the athletic interests and needs of our student body. By collecting this information periodically, we can identify any areas where student interests may not be fully met and work to ensure that our athletic programs continue to reflect the evolving interests of our community. This survey is for students to complete, and therefore, can only be accessed with a student ABRSD email address.
