A Note From The Principal

The Sights and Sounds of ACS

As I walked through our outdoor classroom spaces yesterday, I kept thinking about the many sites and sounds to be enjoyed on our campus. In a short walk my heart felt so happy when I…

• Saw 3rd graders collecting Quince fruit and excitedly peeling and dicing it.
• Tasted Quince Jam - the fruit of our 3rd graders labor.
• Heard the swishing of brushes and chatter of students excavating a dig site
• Smelled lavender, mint, many the scents of other dried herbs mingled together as 1st graders prepared their own combinations of homemade herbal teas.
• Felt the wiry fur of the goats who were munching some fresh foliage as students mingled with them near the WoodshED

Yes - the sights and sounds of our campus are bursting with activities that fill our senses with goodness from our 37-acre Garden of Delight!

Moms In Prayer

This week we’re praying for our 2nd graders and their teachers.

Attribute: God is Gentle — One who is mild in temperament or behavior; kind or tender; not harsh or severe

Scripture: "Lord, may we live a life worthy of the calling we have received; being completely humble, gentle, and patient; bearing with others in love." - Ephesians 4:1-2

We’re a group of Moms (aunts/grandmas) passionate about lifting up our kids and ACS faculty and staff in prayer. We meet every Thursday morning 8:00-9:00am. Younger siblings are always welcome! This week we’re meeting in Ada Village, Legacy Park, across from the Zeytin Restaurant. Come join us for the journey when you can.
