This year was CAC’s 3rd annual Colors week! Colors Week is a week in January dedicated to celebrating the basketball season. It runs as a second homecoming for the year but without the dance at the end of the week. Each day consists of a different theme that has something to do with color. This year’s themes included grout fit, monochromatic, Bluey, and neon.

Just like homecoming, the student body votes on Colors Day maids and a queen. This year's maids included Riley Brown (6th), Betsy Runsick (7th), Avery Easley (8th), Kensley Heckman (9th), Briley Clements (10th), Caroline Nick (11th), Adison Barham (12th), and Piper Clements (12th). Senior Autumn Powell was elected colors day queen.

Mrs. Hodges and the Student Council work hard each year to bring Colors Week to life. They are responsible for deciding on themes, running chapel games, organizing the pep rally, and of course organizing the colors day court at Friday’s basketball game. They do such an amazing job making the week fun and interesting for the entire student body.

Betsy Runsick was the seventh-grade maid for Colors Day this past week. She hopes that her classmates picked her as their maid because she is a nice person and can represent the seventh grade well. Her favorite part was getting to go and get all glammed up and going dress shopping as a seventh grader. She said the most exciting thing was “Walking across the gym in front of everyone.” For someone in her shoes, she would tell them not to be nervous. It'll be fun and they’re going to enjoy it. When she found out she won, she said “I was really excited, like oh everyone actually voted for me!”
