2nd Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest - Thank you to all of our families for once again making our pumpkin decorating contest such a huge success. We had 14 entries this year, and they were all amazing!! Our three judges looked long and hard at each one; our winners are as follows: 1st place - Leon (owl) 2nd place - Furrey/Luvin (cupcake) 3rd place - Rehmer (R2-D2)
Immediate Athletic Openings - We have openings for an athletic secretary as well as Athletic Director that need to be filled as soon as possible. Applewood is blessed to have such a great sports program with outstanding athletes and coaching staff. Many serving in our athletic department are home school parents or ACS families that are already serving in many other areas at our school. We are asking that ALL of our families be in prayer to see if this is an area that God would call YOU to serve. You do not need to have a child involved in our athletic program to fill these positions. If you would like additional information about either of these positions, please contact the office.
Fall Sports Banquet - Monday, October 31st @ 6:30 pm in the ROC - Please bring a dessert to share - This is a very special evening designed to honor our athletes and recognize their accomplishments.
