Greetings ACS,
Our science fair
was a wonderful success! Students in grades 5-9 did a great job in executing
their experiments and in their oral presentations. Thank you to Mrs. Blake for
all the hard work she put in for this event. Thank you also to the parents who
stopped by for a look at the experiments. What a wonderful and creative group
of students we have at ACS!
I would like to make a personal plea for the 3 very
important parent volunteer positions
which have been in the bulletin the last few weeks. While athletics is not our
first priority at ACS, it is a vital part of the student experience. We have
seen student leaders develop because of their involvement in sports. We have
also seen families connect in a deeper level to ACS because of their
involvement. ACS could not offer the athletic program without parent
volunteers! Please prayerfully consider the positions which are open.
Our hot lunch
program is also run by a parent volunteer. While the profits benefit the
senior class, the program benefits the entire school. We will not be able to
offer hot lunches next year without a parent volunteer. Please be in prayer
about this position.
Finally, we have one more week until Christmas break!
Since next Friday is a half day, I do not foresee doing another bulletin before
break. The next bulletin will be Friday, January 10, unless something vital
needs to be communicated before then. We return to school Monday, January 6. I
pray you all have a joyous and blessed holiday vacation! Give God the glory for
all He has done!
Box Tops:
Turn in your box tops Monday, Dec 16.
January Hot Lunch Forms: Due
Wednesday, Dec 18 – Your child
received the order form on Wednesday. Please return your forms by the due date.
If needed, you may turn in checks when we return to school in January.
Christmas Program: Thursday, Dec 19, 6:30 pm – Please plan now to attend our annual Christmas
program. It is a wonderful time to celebrate the birth of Christ as a school
family! I know that K-8 grades have been busily working on dramas and songs to
present that evening.
Christmas Party: ½ Day - Friday, Dec 20 – This will be our last day before Christmas break. It
will be a party day. Students will take any needed tests, turn in homework,
play games, and exchange their Christmas gifts. School will end at 11:15 am;
lunch will not be provided.
Parent Volunteers Needed: We are in need of 3 vital positions for next
year!
**Athletic
Director - This is an over-arching position supervising our athletic programs;
it is a 3 year commitment.
**Game Scheduler for volleyball and soccer - This is
something that begins this year so that our schedule is in the final stages
before school is out for summer. The scheduling of games is something that can
be done from home and you do not need to have a child in the athletic program. If
you are interested in either position, please contact Cindy Rieckhoff at
660-525-2106.
**Senior Hot Lunch Coordinator - We would like this
person in place by the spring semester. They would train under Paula Crosier,
our current coordinator. You do not
need to have a senior student to be the coordinator. Without a coordinator, we
will not be able to offer the hot lunch program next year. If interested,
please contact Paula at 660-473-4635.
Happy Birthday to You: Dec 13-Jan
