On Monday, Aug. 26, students across the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School District returned to the classroom as summer vacation officially came to a close with the first day of school. While the first day of school is always exciting, students at Ashley Academy for Cultural and Global Studies had a little extra excitement as they received words of encouragement from dozens of people from all walks of life as they entered the building.
The gymnasium at Ashley Academy for Cultural and Global Studies was filled with excitement last Friday evening as hundreds of parents, students, teachers, and faculty members came together for the 5th Annual Global Celebration.
As more than 500 students filed into the building at Ashley Academy for Cultural & Global Studies, they were greeted by high-fives, handshakes and words of encouragement from participants in the annual welcome tunnel.
