Hello ACS Parents,
As the days get colder and the autumn leaves are falling, I am reminded that November is around the corner and our Fund Raising dinner is merely 4 weeks away! Mrs. Gear has been working diligently on arranging the guest speaker and the caterer. I hope you all have been busy filling your table with 6 special guests that need to know more about Applewood Christian School. Mrs. Gear will be calling each of you to see how you are doing and to answer any questions you may have about that night. Childcare will only be available for the students who are coming to do the performance that night. Please hire your own at home babysitter for your children that evening. With everyone’s help, we are looking forward to a night that will promote Christian education and highlight ACS and our students.
Speaking of the accomplishments of our students, I hope you have all enjoyed receiving The Applewood Beacon. The Beacon is put together by the ACS student council under the leadership of secretary & Beacon editor Melissa Backe. Letters to the editor can be submitted to the office. Great job Stucco!
Congratulations to the JV Volleyball Team for earning the Spirit Award at the varsity volleyball tournament we hosted this weekend. When we had a team drop out last minute, our JV team agreed to fill in knowing they would be facing some very strong teams. They did a tremendous job and kept a good attitude throughout!
Happy Autumn!
Mrs. Young
