Greetings ACS,
I hope you are looking forward to the annual fundraising dinner, I know I am! Having been privileged to watch the students rehearse for their production number has been quite exciting! It promises to be a fun-filled, encouraging, and inspiring evening!!
We have another big event in November which is quickly approaching, the Thanksgiving Feast. At school, it is known as Feast Day and is a half day of classes. The students spend their day taking any tests, playing games with classmates, and most importantly, cooking lunch. Each family will be receiving a letter later this month asking how many people will be attending. It is an event which brings students, alumni, parents, and even grandparents together and is eagerly anticipated each year!
College Planning Night – Thursday, November 10, is our night for all high school students to become better informed about all the ins and outs of colleges, applying for colleges, scholarships, etc. Jeff Backe will be our guest speaker. I cannot stress how informative this night will be especially for students in grades 9-11!
ACS Shirts, Hoodies, Sweats – Student Council sent home order sheets today for ACS apparel. Please ask your students about it. The due date for money and order forms is Friday, November 11.
Scrip Cards – Please don’t forget that each Friday we collect orders and/or deliver scrip cards. If you need to look at what cards are available, please check out www.glscrip.com. They make excellent Christmas gifts!
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. Please contact Gaye Hiller as soon as possible if you are interested.
