Greetings ACS,
Thank you to all who made our Annual Fundraiser Dinner a success!! I have heard so many wonderful compliments from the evening. Thank you, 5th thru 8th grade students and fine arts teachers for a fantastic tribute to our country! Thank you also to our high school students and parents for pitching in so quickly during the clean up! Without such great ACS families, we would not be all God has intended for us. The fundraising part was also a success. We have raised over $7000 and this is before all donations have been received! One item of business: there are 3 servings spoons in the office left from the dinner. If you are missing any, please come to the office.
Our next big event 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. It is an event which brings students, alumni, parents, and even grandparents together and is eagerly anticipated each year!

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!
