8. Forget the same old Christmas presents—this year, gift yourself something epic: an adventure to Italy with the ACS Religion Department! Picture it now: tossing coins into the Trevi Fountain, eating gelato under the Tuscan sun, and pretending to be in a dramatic opera while wandering Venice. Here’s the kicker: if you sign up for the trip before December 31st, you’ll get a $300 discount, which means more money for pizza, pasta, and postcards. Talk about a Christmas miracle! Pick up an information package from Miss D. Dabrowski from workroom 2010. So ....March Break 2026....Italy is calling, and the best gift under the tree this year could be your passport and a plane ticket.

Simple Little Artsy will be selling handmade goodies, and the proceeds will go toward Jack Chapter initiatives. Tickets are cash only and will be sold at the back of the caf on all three lunches. Look for the commotion and the ticket-sellers channeling their inner Elvis, shouting, “Five bucks, one night, all shook up with fun!”
