A Note From The Principal
An End and A Beginning
They enjoyed a “clap out” around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 30, 2023. Tonight they celebrate their graduation from ACS. Some have been here for more than a decade as they began in 3s preschool. Others joined us this year. No matter when they join the ACS family, they depart together.
Graduations are a momentous occasion for ACS, one that is worshipful and celebratory all at the same time. It is difficult for us to say goodbye, but it is our duty and our privilege to prepare them for the next steps in their lives. Our number one priority is to grow their faith. While we can’t force this on them, we can provide them with opportunities to see where God has led them.
It is our joy to graduate them to the next level, to give them the tools they need to be confident in their ability to grow their mind, body and soul in Christian community.
Praise God for His provisions and plans. He knows their name. He holds them close. He knows their future!

Action Needed
Got Shoes? Give Shoes!
Students will soon be cleaning out their lockers. If your child has outgrown their gym shoes this year, please instruct them to place them in a collection box in their hallway when they clean out their locker. Boxes will be placed in each hallway and the front lobby to collect the gym shoes which will then be donated to Baxter Community Center. Thank you.
