A Note From The Principal

Archaeological Dig

As I seize moments to learn more about what our students and teachers are doing at ACS, I wonder if we really understand what an amazing learning environment our students have? Do we take this for granted?

I would challenge some of our long-time families to reflect back on the many years they have been here and give a prayer of thanks for the amazing facility God has blessed us with. 

I also wonder about our new families. Are they blown away by what God is doing here and how we stand on His promises each day?

Don’t let today pass you by without pausing to reflect on God’s goodness. 

This Week

Moms In Prayer

This week we’re praying for our “specials" teachers.

Attribute:  God is our Portion — A share, part, one’s possession, an award (from God); as a believer, the right to be part of God’s family and join the community of worshippers of the living God

Scripture: LORD, may ________ say, “The LORD is my portion, therefore I will hope in Him.” - Lamentations 3:24 (ESV)

We’re a group of Moms (aunts/grandmas) passionate about lifting up our kids and ACS faculty and staff in prayer — we pray every Thursday, 8:00-9:00am, in the front office conference room. Join us if you can. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly, 616.304.2963.

PTO Happenings

Let the Fundraising Begin!

Charleston Wrap fundraising packets came home yesterday. If your packets have already found their way to the island of lost papers there are extras available in the PTO drawer in the office. Better yet, feel free to use this link Charleston Wrap Online Registration to order online. This is also a great way to involve out of state friends and relatives. Be sure to use our organization ID 20734 and follow the prompts. 

In addition to the prizes offered through the Charleston Wrap organization the PTO will provide the following incentives...

Highest individual sales: earns a special parking space for the year and their name entered twice into a drawing for the prize of principal for ½ day or lamborghini ride for you and a friend.

Grade with the highest sales:

Middle School (5-8) – Each student wins a piece of tape to secure Principal Sall to the Wall. 

Elementary School (K-4) - Although he’ll be none the wiser up on the wall will go Assistant Principal Kiser. Each student earns piece of tape to secure Mr. Kiser to the wall.

Class with the highest sales gets a pizza and pjs party

Every student who sells more than $100 in sales will have their name entered to win principal for half the day or a lamborghini ride for you and a friend. 

If every student sells $50 in prizes or secures a $25 tax deductible donation we'll meet our fundraising goal. Thanks in advance for your faithful support of the PTO.
