Congratulations to the cast and crew of the “Big Bad Musical”. It was a complete success! As I said “goodbye” to the people that had attended the play, they all had wonderful words of encouragement. Many that had seen several of our productions said that this was their “favorite”, I know it was mine. I was honored and touched that you would dedicate your performance to me. The drama program at ACS has always been important to me because God used my participation in a drama production when I was in 9th grade to radically transform my life. I pray that you listen to His call and glorify Him while you live your “Happily Ever After”.
In His Service,
Mrs. Young
Announcements:
Class of 2010 Graduation – The students and parents of the class of 2010 are extending an invitation to all teachers, students, and parents of ACS to attend their graduation ceremony this Saturday, May 8 at 2:00pm in the ROC. There will be a reception immediately following.
Tuition reminder – ACS does not charge tuition in May but collects book fees for the next school year. Book fees are $155 per student.
Clean up Day – Thursday, May 27 from 8 am to noon. There is much to do to close down the school at the end of the year! There are desks to put up, supplies to store, and everything needs a good cleaning. Students in grades 5 – 12 are required to attend. Participation for students in grades K- 4 is optional but need to be accompanied by a parent if they attend.
Paint crews needed! Mrs. Rehmer is looking for parents interested in painting the elementary rooms this summer. Contact the office if you can help.
Summer math tutoring service – call Gaye Hiller.
Summer childcare & VBS program offered for children up to 5th grade. MWF 7am -5pm for daycare. MWF 10am – 4pm for VBS program. For further information, contact the office or call Mrs. Harshner.
Book Turn In day – May 26 & 27. All school books (including solution manuals), except the consumable books that have the students name written on the cover, need to be turned in on one of these days. Students will receive their report cards after all books have been turned in and all financial obligations have been met for the 2009-2010 school year.
Parent involvement assessment – as this year comes to a close it is a good time to take a look at parent involvement with the school. We will be sending an assessment to your home in the mail for you to evaluate your efforts. This is for you alone! Please do not send in anything to the office. If you have questions please contact Mrs. Young or your school board representative.
St. Louis Zoo field trip. Permission slips need to be turned into the office.
Boston Group is hosting a fundraising Yard Sale - May 14th. Donations accepted, see Paula Crosier.
Coaches needed for next year! If you are interested in coaching (or assistant coaching) the following sports, please contact Mr. Lansing, the athletic director: varsity boys’ soccer, junior high boys’ soccer, and junior high girls’ basketball.
Dress code reminder - With the arrival of warmer weather, I just wanted to remind parents of some dress code rules. Shorts need to be fingertip length. No holes in jeans. No sleeveless shirts with large arm holes. No spaghetti straps. Shirts should be long enough that when you raise your arms your belly is not showing. Bring sneakers for PE if you are wearing flip-flops. No hats or sunglasses inside the buildings.
Prayer & Praise:
Thanks to the students and parents that attended the first Clean Up day. Luke, you really kept Mrs. Young entertained. Kinser, every muscle in my body was screaming by that night. I don’t know how you managed to do ten times the work I did but I am really glad you did!
Thanks to all the many parents that helped make the “Big Bad Musical” all that it could be. From dresses to judges benches; from hair to makeup; from food to programs; we couldn’t do it without the help from our parents! Thanks for your support!
A special thank you to Mrs. Leon and Mrs. Harshner for their tireless efforts on behalf of our students. There is one little wolf that sure would not be where she is without the two of you in her life.
