    Greetings ACS,                                                                                           

     

                Welcome back! We are glad to be beginning our second semester! I pray this semester goes as smoothly as our first! Please keep each of our families, students, and teachers in your prayers as we get back into the routine once again.

    Electronics Agreement: If you received a phone, Kindle, etc. and will be bringing an electronic to school for the first time this year, we need you to fill out a new electronics agreement form for the office. The agreement states that all electronics will be left in the school office during the school day. Just stop by the office to get your form. Thanks!

     

    Labeling Items: We are having a difficult time finding the owner of stray jackets, lunch boxes, etc. It would help us tremendously if you made sure everything your child brings to school is labeled. Thank you

    Box Tops: Over the holidays, we received a check for $848.49 from box tops. Way to go, ACS! As you can see, every little bit helps. Don’t forget to keep collecting!

  • December 13, 2013

    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.

    Hello ACS,                                                                                                 

     

                Congratulations to ACS and Student Council! We collected 300 pounds of food for Open Door through our school and our student council collection efforts. This was half of the total 600 pounds of food collected from ACS, Smith-Cotton, and Sacred Heart combined! What a wonderful testimony from our school showing that we care about our community!

                Congratulations to our varsity Soccer and Volleyball teams! Soccer competed earlier this month. They did well considering they had two out due to injuries: Raymond Leon and Theo Rieckhoff. Our volleyball team took second in their division and came home with another silver ball trophy! Great job, athletes!

                Thank you to those on Facebook who did the Target Support Education promotion. We received a $95 Target gift card. Also, for those that did not know, ACS does have a Facebook page. It is private and needs a friend request confirmation to join.

Thank you to Malinda Nevils for securing us a machine to use and to Amy Furrey for being willing to take a day to do this.

Please keep our players and their families in your prayers as they travel to the National Christian HomeSchool Championships in Springfield, MO. The soccer team is playing today and tomorrow. The volleyball team will be there October 24-26.

                Monday will be our parent/teacher conferences! It is a great opportunity for you to come meet your child’s teachers and discuss any questions or concerns.

I look forward to seeing everyone then!

     

    Homework Surveys: Thank you to those who have already returned the surveys! If you have not done so, please return your surveys on Monday.

     

    Directory: We sent home paper copies of our directory. As we cannot always be perfect, some mistakes were found. Mr. Tankersley was not listed in the paper directory; also, the teacher notation for Mr. Baker and Mrs. Bergman was omitted. If you find a mistake, please check the website directory to see if it is correct. Please let the office know if the website directory is incorrect.

     

    Picture Day/ Eye Exams: Friday, Oct. 11 - Order forms will be sent home soon. Josh Greer will be taking our school pictures once again. The pictures and eye exams will begin right after opening.
