Spirit Days at A.C. Reynolds High unite the entire school community - including the youngest learners in the Reynolds Learning Lab.

Preschoolers walking into the school wearing cardboard cars.For “Green and Gold Day,” the students not only wore school colors, but dressed up as principal Ben Alexander - complete with his signature spectacles. They also each “drove” into his office in scale models of Mr. Alexander’s classic 1994 Lincoln Continental, created by Cane Creek Middle School Resource Officer Malachi Morgan.
