Dear ACS Families,
The fund raising dinner was a marvelous success! I was at the door thanking people for coming, as the guests were departing, and many of them had wonderful things to say about the event.
One guest had this to say about the performance by the junior high: “WOW!” Our thanks goes out to our wild and crazy drama teacher, Mrs. Leon for all her creativity and patience. Thanks to Mrs. Blake for her drawings of the “body”. And thanks to Rhiannon Crosier (gr. 10), our resident dancer, for choreographing the dance movements that looked so cool in the dark. And of course, a big thanks to grades 6 – 8 for their hard work and willingness to perform. It was amazing!
High school students, you did an excellent job serving! Not a single broken dish. I know the guests were as impressed as I was. J
Thanks to Mrs. Christopherson for running the kitchen. For Mr. & Mrs. David Walker for doing the cooking and for Ethan Sarver & Nan Hutcheson for helping in the kitchen. We are in Maplewood’s debt.
Thanks to Matt Boatright our MC and Jordan Liesemeyer, our alumni speaker. You both did a great job!
Parents, thank you for the hard work of finding guests to attend, following up with them, setting your table, bringing dessert, being hosts for the evening, and praying for the event. You made it enjoyable for those who attended.
Thanks to Debra Marsh for putting the event together and for the super pamphlet on ACS that we will be using for years to come.
And lastly, thanks to our Father in Heaven, who continues to provide for our every need. I have not had a chance to look inside the envelopes and see how much we raised but I promise to have an update by the next bulletin. I know that the dinner will bring ACS more than just monetary benefits. Above all else I pray that the event glorified our God and Savior.
