A Note From The Principal
Grand Friends!
The focus each year is to be sure Grand Friends are able to see their grandchild in class and in a worship time. Sharing the love of Jesus and giving Him all the glory is of utmost importance to us.
We cherish our Grand friends and hope they feel God’s presence at ACS!
This Week
Moms in Prayer
Join us for Moms in Prayer Thursday, April 20 from 8:00-9:00am in the back ACS conference room. Our attribute this week is "God Heals". We will be praying specifically for our 6th grade teachers and students. Contact Kristen Yeh (616-307-2488) with any questions. Younger siblings are always welcome.
Grand Friend's Day - May 5
We look forward to welcoming Grand Friends to school on Friday, May 5. There will be a chapel, fellowship, classroom visits and a time to explore the school and grounds. Staff and volunteers will be available to help direct Grand Friends to classrooms and answer questions. Please see the attached schedule for more information.
Please have your Grand Friend's review this parking map
We are still in need of several parking volunteers. If you are interested in helping please visit the Volunteer Sign-up.

PTO Happenings
Walk-a-thon
The annual Walk-a-thon is coming up on Friday, May 12! Grab a volunteer spot for this fun event.
Donation envelopes are due back by Wednesday, May 10. We have a fundraising goal of $28,000, which we can reach if each student gathers $50 in donations. Don’t care to write checks for each of your kids? Give online! A single online donation will be split equally among siblings indicated.
Check out the great prizes students can earn:
- The top-earning middle school homeroom will get to douse their teacher in color powder!
- The top-earning grade will earn a popcorn party!
- Classes with 100% participation in collecting donations will earn a pajama day!
- The top fundraiser from each grade earns a $20 Target gift card! (Ties broken by drawing.)
- For every $50 brought in, students will have their name entered in a drawing for the top prize of a Big Joe bean bag chair! (Thank you, Jung family!)
Thank you for your generosity, which allows the PTO to support the staff and sponsor a variety of events and programs that enrich the student experience.
