A Note From The Principal
Beauty - God's Handiwork
As I walked through certain sections of the ACS campus, I couldn’t help but notice this tree and flowers near the Outdoor Education room. Psalm 96:12 states, “Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” To me, this tree is once again bursting with life and all of its beauty reminds me to thank God for His creation, His handiwork.
As Spring flourishes, take the time to praise God for His beautiful creation!

Lindsey Bosma
Dear ACS Community,
I have accepted an offer to teach high school Spanish at NorthPointe Christian School starting next year. My family and I are excited about the new direction God is leading. We are thankful for our time at ACS and for all those who have loved and supported us during our seven years here. I hope you know how much we care about ACS and are thankful for the teaching, molding, and care you have given to our children.
With gratitude,
Lindsey Bosma
