Verse of the Day: When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:10-11
Today is a school-wide favorite! There are gingerbread houses being built, Mad Libs, scavenger hunts, movies, storytelling, and goodies galore. I wanted to take time today and say 'Thank You' to each and every one of you for the blessed school year thus far. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as principal at ACS. The students and staff bless me daily! Thank you, parents, for allowing our staff to come alongside you in bringing up Godly young men and women. Praying each of you have a time of rest and much joy over the Christmas break!
Our first mission opportunity was a fantastic time of coming together! Thank you to Yuliya Chernish for putting together this opportunity and for her creativity in designing the doors that were decorated. The residents at E.W. Thompson were so appreciative!
