Verse of the Day: Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. Proverbs 22:4
It's hard to believe it is the month of November already! It seems like school just started, and here we are in second quarter already. Before we know it, we'll be on Christmas break! It is my prayer that each of you, and your families, are having a fall of bountiful blessings. There are so many wonderful things happening here at ACS. Our students and teachers have gotten into a steady routine and there are lots of smiling faces throughout both buildings. I am ever thankful for Applewood Christian School!
