Hi ACS Parents!
Sorry I was not able to get the bulletin out on Sunday, I corrected science reports until 11 pm and forgot.
The ACS Carnival was a big success! Thanks to the Student Council and to the parents for all their hard work. The Student Council raised $1,400 from the event! Thanks to those 6 courageous individuals who took a pie in the face, it was a big hit again this year bringing in half of the money raised that night.
The Town Meeting went very well. Administration and School Board were thankful for the great attendance and with the input we received. Please hold us accountable for following up on that input. We hope to make this an annual event. Thanks to all the parents who attended this valuable meeting!
ACS in the News! Just recently ACS was spotlighted twice in the Sedalia Democrat. Wed. Jan. 24 there was coverage in the sports section about our varsity boys’ basketball team playing Lighthouse Christian Academy. The article was accompanied by a large photo. Then Sunday, Jan. 28 there was a feature article about sports in parochial schools. Our varsity boys’ basketball coach, Roger Austin was interviewed and quoted. Never before has ACS had such coverage in the newspaper! Parents, if you have a moment, please write to the Sedalia Democrat thanking them for covering a small school such as ours and encouraging them to cover other events in the future.
Hot Lunch Orders went out yesterday. Due to the snow day in Jan., many of you may have already paid for lunch on Feb. 7 (Pancakes & eggs). If you did, please do not check the box and pay for the meal again. Brian has you recorded already as paid and wanting that meal. If you did not select that meal before and would like your child to receive it, feel free to check the block. February lunch menu is due in the office by this Friday.
Report Cards will be going home on Wednesday Jan. 31.
Believe it or not we have gone through all the computer paper the students brought in this past fall. Please send in a ream (packet) of white computer paper with your student this week. Thanks for your continued help and support.
Valentine’s Party. Once again we will be defying the weather and going swimming for the ACS Valentine’s Party on Feb. 13 from 11:00 – 1:00pm. We will be going to the Warrensburg Community Center to swim in the pool, play basketball, eat, and fellowship. Students with last names beginning with A – M please bring a sweet snack, N – Z bring a healthy snack to share. Cost is $2 per person (parents who don’t want to swim are free). Friends and family are always welcome! Students will be having a modified homework load (math, grammar, and reading only) so that they can attend. [Students not planning to attend need to see Mrs. Young for additional homework assignment.]
Valentine’s Day Cards. Students will go home with an updated roster Wed. so that they can write their Valentine’s cards. (See teacher blogs for a list of teacher’s names). Students will get a chance on Wed. Feb. 14 to “mail” their cards by putting them in each students’ bag. Students planning to give a card to everyone in the school please separate your cards by grade in sandwich bags to make “mailing” easier. Students are not required to give everyone a Valentine. If the student wants to give the students in their class a card and one to a few other particular friends that is fine. Grades K – 3 will have a chance to create their own Valentine Bag in class. Older students can either pick up a bag from Mrs. Blake (or the office) to decorate their own or the art classes will make them for them. We will be happy to deliver cards to coaches, team players (that aren’t at ACS), or others.
