Hello ACS!
This Tuesday is our technology seminar. I hope that each
family will have a parent available to attend and that our students in junior
high and high school will be present. It should prove to be very enlightening.
Please mark your calendars now for the ACS Drama
Production! It is April 25-26. Several of our students in grades 4th-12th
are busily working now on the production. It is a 1920’s musical entitled Charleston. With 34 students involved,
it is our largest cast ever!
