Athletic Association sponsors all athletic prof grams at school. Through the new system of givf ing points for participation, through awards such as the AA bracelets given to those outstanding in skill and participation, AA encourages team spirit, putting on three field days throughout the year, for Green and Purple competition. This year, AA introduced the 'Sport Heads, who are individuals appointed by AA to help promote their given sport, and to help in the furthering of the ideas of participation, sportsmanship, and cooperation.
