Happy Thanksgiving ACS Families,
I hope that this weekend you spent time enjoying family, relaxing and resting, and thinking on the things that you are thankful for.
"The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song." Psalm 28:7
Christmas break is right around the corner! There is much to do in the next three weeks though. Be sure to read the following announcements so that you don’t miss anything.
With a thankful heart,
Mrs. Young

Students are required to look up their homework by accessing each of their teachers’ pages on the web site. All assignments will be posted by 10:00 am. Work is due the next school day.
Dec. 18 is Christmas party day at school. School starts on time at 8:00am and ends at noon. Students do not need to bring a lunch. We are asking each family to bring in a snack to share. If your last name begins with A – M please bring in a healthy snack (crackers & cheese, fruit, chex mix, etc.). If your last name begins with N – Z please bring in a sweat treat. Homeroom moms need to prepare a craft or game for that day (that lasts about an hour) and need to be at school by 8:00. The day will be spent doing crafts, games, snacking, and exchanging of gifts. No work allowed!
Needs:
Please save or be looking for big cardboard boxes. We like to have them in the AWANA room for the elementary students to build into house and tunnels during the winter months when they can’t go outside.
Praise and Prayer:
