Haven't heard of an ABC countdown, that sounds like A LOT. My kids' school does the occasional spirit week and I'm very relieved that my kids see it as a menu of "I like this day so I'm going to do it" and "I don't care about this so I'll skip it" items. If they got stressed about it I would not be a fan.

OMG. The only day my kids cared about was A Day because you could bring a stuffed animal. The only day I cared about was F Day because I knew they would like bringing in books and it felt “easy” — except then we ALL FORGOT ABOUT IT YESTERDAY. I realized at like 7pm and my 6yo just said “oh Mama, I like plenty of books.” 😂 I remember this happened last year too — we just fully stopped paying attention to the countdown by D or E day. It’s almost the end of the year, we’re barely making it there as it is and this year is also consumed by all the 5th grade moving up celebration stuff… I think it just DOES NOT NEED TO BE THE FULL ALPHABET?! Gah.
