Join us for Spirit Day! 

Come hungry and ready to fuel your Mustang pride. We will have parent-grilled burgers and hot dogs, a great lineup of food trucks serving tacos, pizza, and vegetarian choices, plus popsicles, shaved ice, and coffee. You can also swing by our famous Community Bake Sale for homemade treats all day long. 

Beyond the games and food, there is non-stop fun planned for all ages across campus. Catch live courtyard musical performances from our ASIJ community: including an appearance by a legendary parent band! High school service club booths will feature slime making, tie-dye, and face painting, alongside a K-Pop dance workshop, an elementary school halftime dance crew, and a silent disco with DJ CASA LOCO.
