Hi ACS Families,
Valentine’s Day is a time to remind us not only of how much we love the people in our lives but more importantly how much God loves us. It is because He loved us that we can love others.
Sheri Austin is starting a Mom’s prayer time the second Monday of every month at 10:00am at her house. Any moms interested in getting together to pray for ACS please contact Sheri for directions to her home.
Keri Thomas has also started a prayer time for teachers. Each morning at 8:05 Keri is leading prayer in the Green room.
School Day Off Feb. 19, President’s Day! That means no homework on Tuesday, Feb. 20.
Student Council Elections for the 2007-08 school year will be held March 28 after school. Students in grades 8 – 11 are asked to attend. Those interested in running for offices be prepared to speak.
Valentine’s Swim Party, Tuesday Feb. 13 from 11:00 – 1:00 at the Warrensburg Community Center on Gay street. [Directions: Hwy 50 west to Warrensburg. Immediately after the big factory on left, take left onto Ridgeview. Take a right onto Gay street. The Community Center is about one half mile on your right. OR Take exit for hwy 13. Go left on Hwy 13 or Maguire St. and drive one half mile. Take a left on Gay street. The Community Center is about 3 blocks down on your left.] Students are asked to bring their swimsuits and towels if they intend on swimming (modest bathing suits please!). Families 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 please bring your cards in on Wednesday. Students are not required to give everyone a Valentine. However if the student does want to give everyone a card it is easiest if the child just signs the cards and leaves the envelope blank, that way they can drop a card into each students’ bag without having to look for specific names.
Family Club Meeting Feb. 19 at 5:00pm.
Dates for the Great Escape (social for grades 9 & 10) will be released soon but will not be Feb. 18 & 19 as indicated on the Calendar. Mrs. Austin & Mrs. Anderson will be heading up this event.
Dates for the Winter Bash (social for grades 7 & 8) will be announced next week. Mrs. Sparks & Mrs. Schutte will be heading up this event.
Recipe for Goo. Last week the students made Goo with the student council ministry team. The kids had great fun with it! I liked it because it had very little smell and did not stick to carpet when it was dropped, nor did it collect hair and dirt, etc when it was dropped on the floor. I thought you moms might like the recipe: Place 1/3 cup water and 1/3 cup Elmer’s all purpose glue into a ziplock bag. Take 1/3 cup Borax and 1/3 water and mix in cup. Borax will settle to bottom. Pour off extra water and then add borax to bag with other ingredients.
