Hello ACS,                                                                                      

 

            We are so excited to be having a day when emergency service vehicles and personnel will be here! We will have a patrol car, an ambulance, a fire truck, and a helicopter.  We invite any and all family to join us for this exciting event! This will be an excellent opportunity for all age groups to see and hear from each department. They will be here from 8:30-11:30 am. Students will be divided into 4 groups and visiting each station for about 20 minutes. Grades 6-12 will be from 8:30-9:45 am and grades K-5 will be from 9:45-11:25 am. A big thank you goes to Brian and Erica Daniel for coordinating this event!

            I would like to remind parents when they send in checks to please mark in the memo line what each check if going towards. We handle several different accounts and purchases throughout the year and this would be a huge help. Thanks!

 

Summer Reading Winners: Congratulations to Shiloh Conroy for being our overall winner this year! Her prize was a nook given by an anonymous donor! Our other top readers for each group were as follows: elementary- Autumn Sparks, junior high- Victoria Sparks, and high school- Joel Reed. A paper was sent home listing the top 3 winners in each division and the top 10 readers overall. Thank you also to those who donated prizes: Reader’s World, Shepherd’s Place, Mighty Melt, Mazzio’s Pizza, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell! Please thank those businesses if you get a chance!

 

Box Tops: Summer Contest Winners: Congratulations to Victoria Sparks for being the top earner; she will receive a free school t-shirt! The top earning class was the 2nd grade! The next three top classes (K, 4, & 6) were only 20 box tops apart in total numbers; that’s a close contest! We collected 1659 box tops which is $166 for ACS! Great job!! Mrs. Bessert would like your ideas for the September contest. Please put suggestions in the box top “box” in the office and she will collect them Friday, September 20.

 

High School Students and Parents: There are two opportunities coming up for students to explore colleges. Tuesday, Sept 24, is college and career day at State Fair Community College. This event is typically in the morning. Another is Monday, Sept 30, in Shawnee, Kansas. This is the KC Christian College Fair from 6-8 pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to see several Christian colleges at once. If you are interested in the KC Christian College Fair, please call the office and I will try to gather a group to attend.

 

Chapel Speaker: As we have chapel speakers scheduled, I will do my best to let you know ahead of time. We would love to see any available parents join us. This Monday our chapel time will be led by Heartland Christian College, Newark, Missouri. Chapel time is 8:15-9:00 am.

 

Prudential Spirit of Community Award: Each year Prudential Financial recognizes junior high and high school students who volunteer in their communities. In each state, they select an applicant and the winner will receive $1000 and an all-expense-paid trip with a parent to Washington, D.C. To apply, go to spirit.prudential.com or nassp.org/spirit. The deadline is November 5. If you do apply, please let the office know as we need to certify your application by November 12.
