Greetings, ACS!
Are you a trader? This was a question put to us this week at chapel by Mrs. Kjar. I found it quite interesting to consider; am I willing to trade my “me” attitude for Christ? Are we willing to sacrifice all to serve Christ wherever we find ourselves? This year’s focus in chapel is learning to serve Christ as a missionary in all situations. Our key verse is Isaiah 64:8, “Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” What a wonderful concept for us all to live by! We invite you to attend a chapel service whenever possible!
Congratulations to our junior high girls’ volleyball team! They finished their season play undefeated with their only loss in their tournament! Our junior high co-ed soccer team and junior varsity girls’ volleyball team also finished the season well. Please remember our varsity soccer and volleyball teams as they are in Springfield for the National Home School Tournament. Finally, our fall sports awards night is Tuesday, October 25. We invite everyone to join us as we recognize our fall sports athletes!
Finally, I want to remind everyone of a couple of up-coming events. Don’t forget the 5K Costume Walk/Run Fundraiser on Saturday, October 29. It’s not too late to participate. Also, our fundraising dinner is just 2 weeks away. Be checking your red folders as more information will be forthcoming. Thank you!!
Parent/Teacher Conferences – Tuesday, November 1st, 6 pm - Please mark your calendars for this very important night! It is a wonderful opportunity to see how your child is doing in class and to get to know your Applewood teachers better!
Costa Rica Mission Trip – We would like your feedback! The Costa Rica Mission Trip is considering a fundraiser similar to the Cupid’s Ball which is held in Sedalia every February. It would be a Father/Daughter dance for daughters of all ages. Is this something you would consider supporting? Please send all comments/questions to Paula Crosier at crosierclan@msn.com.
Boater's License Class – Tuesday, November 22 – We will be offering a boaters class for anyone born after Jan. 1, 1984, needing to obtain their boater’s license. The class will be 5-6 hours and you will take the written test on site that day. For anyone born after the 1984 date, a license is required to operate any water craft. If you pass the test, there is a $15 fee to receive your license from the MO license bureau. Please contact Gaye Hiller as soon as possible if you are interested.
