Dear ACS Families,
The deacons of Maplewood Church have given approval for the Applewood Student Council to have a sign made and put up at the entrance to the second parking lot. What an awesome thing for our youth to do! Not only will sports teams and prospective new students be able to find us, but it is a great boost to our school spirit to finally have a sign that announces who we are.
This gave me an idea. Each year ACS tries to give back to Maplewood in a small way by hosting a clean up day where the older students paint walls, pull weeds, and wash desks and chairs. This year Maplewood is scheduling a Clean Up Day on Saturday, May 31 for the members of their church. Instead of having our own seperate clean up day, I thought it would be great to join theirs! This way Maplewood families can meet ACS families and see the students they are supporting every day by allowing ACS to rent their facilities. When we installed the new playset a couple years ago, Maplewood and Applewood families worked together to get the task accomplished. That was a great day! Maplewood and Applewood people each said how much they enjoyed getting to know the other group.
So students and parents, set aside May 31 on your calendars. Show your appreciation to Maplewood by coming out to help. (Students younger than grade 6 need to have a parent present). Let us use this opportunity to strengthen our relationship with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Young
