A Note From The Principal
A Promise Kept
So, I have been a Michigan fan for as long as I can remember - all the way back to when I played basketball in high school (even before since my family roots for Michigan) and nearly played against Chris Webber, one of the Fab Five from U of M’s basketball team in the early 90’s, but missed him by one game due to losing in a regional final game before possibly playing against Detroit Country Day in a quarter final game.
Anyway, all that to say that I am a Michigan fan and wore some apparel last week Friday in honor of that. I also made a deal with some students that if MSU won the football game last week Saturday, then I would hang an MSU balloon on my office door.
This picture is proof of my promise and yes, the students came to my office to check just to make sure I followed through on that!
What a fun game and what a great way for me to be able to connect with staff members as well as students :)
Make it a great day!
This Week
"Faith. Strong." Friday
Moms In Prayer
This week we’re praying for our 4th grade teachers and students.
God is Pure — One who is without blemish or fault; holy, sinless, perfect
Scripture: "May You create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10
We’re a group of Moms passionate about lifting up our kids and ACS faculty and staff in prayer — we pray every Thursday, 8-9am, in the front office conference room. Siblings always welcome. If you have any questions, give me a call (Kelly Stafford, 616.304.2963)
