A Note From The Principal
Jesus Is The Savior!
If you seized the opportunity to worship with us on Wednesday morning at our Easter chapel, you might recognize this picture from one of our second graders in Mrs. Overbeek’s class.
As we look forward to Good Friday and Easter, let us never forget the price Jesus paid for us. His death and resurrection are the pinnacle events in our Christian faith.
Oh, what a glorious day it will be when we get to see Him face to face in heaven!

Society Meeting
Dear Ada Christian Parents and Society Members,
Our virtual meeting was a wonderful opportunity to discuss and celebrate another year of Ada Christian School’s faculty, staff and parents partnering in equipping students for service in God’s world.
Our Finance Committee and our ACS Education Foundation have been working very hard to offset increasing operating costs while maintaining the excellent education and environment our children enjoy. Our proposed budget, tuition and fees passed last evening.
Volunteering for a leadership role and a three-year commitment to the school board is a significant commitment. Our gratitude goes out to everyone who agreed to participate in the board nominee selection process. The following candidates were chosen to represent us on our School Board:
- Steve Biel
- Alissa Hollander
- Matt Hudson
- John Kuiper
Principal Sall reflected on our commitment to educate the whole child - mind, body and soul in community and our dependence on Christ for wisdom and knowledge.
Thank you for your continued support of Ada Christian School. Our school is in a very strong position and is a blessing to our students, families, staff and community because of your commitment.
Blessings to you and your family,
Joe Keilen, President
Ada Christian School Board of Trustees
