A Note From the Principal
A Special Place
I have heard from many new families, as well as some long-time veterans, of the school what a special place Ada Christian is not only for our students, but also for this community. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with a staff member that was only with us for a couple of months due to a job opportunity that fit her schedule better. She was very instrumental in the lives of some students that needed additional support. She made it clear to those students how special ACS is and wanted them to understand that God is in this place, cares for it, and loves it.
We should not ever take it for granted.
This snapshot was taken as I walked into school this morning (10/20/21). I couldn't help but notice the full moon in the background above the school and the American flag in the foreground. It gave me a sense of peace and that same reminder that God is in control.
I hope this picture or some of these words remind you of God’s everlasting goodness!
Action Needed
Class Composite Orders
You may now place an order for class composites online There will be no paper order forms going home this year.
A class composite is an 8x10 photo which includes a picture of the teacher, aides (if any), and each student in the classroom. Names are listed under each photo. The titles in the middle show the classroom name, teacher name, name of the school, and school year.
Orders are due Nov 12.
