ARTS FEST 2019
Spotlight on:
What the Preps Did
Arts Fest is, first and foremost, fun. It is also a great way to boost the ACS scholarship fund.
The participating student clubs donate 20% of their coupon sales for scholarships. But let us now tell
you what the 8th graders do.
In the week leading up to Arts Fest, the first-year students, our precious preps, do a pre-sale of
raffle tickets. 100% of what they sell goes to the scholarship fund.
Fun first and foremost, remember? Well, part of the fun is a contest among the prep sections
which one will sell most tickets. The kids can go to their classmates, they certainly knock on the doors
of their teachers and the administration – it’s a nice way for all of them to give back to the community,
- they also take tickets to their friends who study elsewhere, and to their families. Not only does it
contribute to scholarships, it also spreads the word about Arts Fest and the College.
This year the preps sold tickets worth 2896 leva.
Special thanks go to champs 8/7 who won the inter-section contest. 8/7 leader Adriana
Chapanova collected the well-deserved award for her classmates, provided by Arts Fest sponsors
Playground and Mondelez.
ACS scholarships can really make a difference to families who have deserving children but
limited means. We can all help those great students come and study at ACS.
