Hello ACS,
Spirit Days! During any sports season, we like to
encourage our teams by having spirit days. If our team has a home game on a
Friday, we celebrate by wearing our ACS gear or our school colors – red, black,
and white. For the rest of January, each Friday will be a spirit day. Also,
Friday, Jan 20, we will be recognizing our senior basketball players during
their games. Come on out and support our ACS teams!
Bookmobile:
The bookmobile returns Wednesday, Jan 18th. If your child has books
at home, please remember to return them by Wednesday. Also, we are missing The Door Within by Wayne Thomas Batson
and The Nervous System by Helen
Frost. If you could please ask your child if they have seen these books, we
would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

SFCC to sponsor free ‘Love and Logic’ workshop:
State Fair Community College
will sponsor a workshop for families Jan. 19 discussing “Love and Logic,” a
philosophy of raising and teaching children that allows adults to be happier,
feel empowered and be more skilled in interactions with children. The two-hour
“Workshop on Wheels” will meet from 6-8 p.m. in Thompson Conference Center in
the Heckart Science and Allied Health Center on the SFCC campus. There is no charge.
Registration deadline is Jan. 16. The ‘Love and Logic’ philosophy teaches a way
of working with children that puts parents and teachers back in control,
teaches children to be responsible and prepares young people to live in the
real world with choices and consequences. This is the same discipline
philosophy that Mr. Jeff White used while a vice-principal at ACS. For more
information or to register, call Sarah Williams, continuing education
coordinator, at (660) 530-5822 or e-mail swilliams19@sfccmo.edu. Registration
details are also available at www.sfccmo.edu/workshoponwheels. The course is
sponsored by SFCC’s office of Lifelong Learning.
