Hello ACS,
What a wonderful January this has been thus far! Let’s
hope February and March continue the trend and does not come roaring in as a
lion!!
As for news, we have 3 very different but important
events on the calendar that I wanted to draw to your attention. First, Tuesday
night is our athletic committee meeting. It is technically for all coaches at
ACS, but anyone who is interested in our athletic program is welcome to attend.
For details, please call our athletic director, Cindy Rieckhoff at
660-525-2106. Second, the school board meeting is Thursday evening. All are
invited and encouraged to attend these meetings each month. It is during board
meetings that school issues, changes, policies, etc. are brought up and
discussed. If you have any questions regarding the school board, please call
your board representative or our board president, Jennifer Boatright at
826-1880.
Finally,
Saturday is our annual school carnival. The student council does a fantastic
job and planning this fun, family event. Each year it is full of laughter and
surprises. It is a great way to get to know each other in an informal, festive
setting. We are looking forward to seeing you all there!!
