The campus was buzzing with energy on Saturday, October 3, as ASIJ hosted its annual Spirit Day, a day of Mustang pride. Students, teachers, and families cheered on athletes across fields and courts, enjoyed singing and dancing performances, and got an exciting preview from the middle school musical cast.
Both Middle School and High School clubs hosted booths throughout the day, featuring fun, hands-on activities such as slime-making with Kagaku for Kids and bracelet-making with Habitat for Humanity. Food booths offered everything from cotton candy to hamburgers, and the first-ever silent disco added a fresh, fun twist to the event.
With sports, performances, food, and fresh activities, Spirit Day captured what ASIJ is all about: coming together, cheering each other on, and showing off that unmistakable Mustang spirit.
