A Note from Principal Brower
Welcome to your 3-day school week! You can do this. Let’s do our very best to have school work caught up and completed so Spring Break can be just that - a break!
ACS Drive “Bye”
Wednesday, Apr 01, 3:00-3:45pm
We really miss seeing our kids! So, our faculty and staff members are going to be lining up outside of ACS on the sidewalk spaces in our drop-off and bus loops so we can wave good-bye to our students at the time we would normally have been sending them off for Spring Break.
Join us if you can by entering the school off Ada Drive and driving through as we wave to you and your family! Cars need to exit on Fox Hollow.
Good to know:
I called the health department and, also, our school liaison from the health department to ask if our ACS Drive “Bye” plan is in compliance with the Stay At Home mandate from Governor Whitmer. Both parties assured me we are abiding by the guidelines as long as we are outdoors and at least 6’ apart as cars drive by.
See you soon!
Optional Drop-Off Details
Wednesday, Apr 01 from 9:00am-12:00pm
Let’s get ready for a well deserved Spring Break!
If you wish to drop off your child(ren)’s work before Spring Break gets started, it will grant teachers some extra time to grade the work and may feel really good to you to get it into their hands so it does not get misplaced over break (not that kids ever misplace things, right?).
Grades K-4 (and Spanish for all grades if parents are already coming to ACS)
- Tables will be set up outside in front of ACS.
- A clearly labeled box for work being returned will be on each table.
- To respect the “social distancing” guidelines, please allow 6’ between you and others.
Quote for the week:

Daily Devotion
Listen: Now we will turn our focus towards Holy Week hearing stories of Jesus’ final days on earth. Please listen to a reading from “Journey to the Cross” by Helen Haidle called “Final Moments and Amazing Happenings”. This is based on Luke 23:46; John 29: 28-35; Matthew 27:50-56; Mark 15: 37-41; Luke 23:44-49; and John 19:30.
Respond: Is this the end of the story? Many of the people who lived in Jerusalem during His death thought that Jesus’ story ended on that cross. To us, the cross is a symbol from death to life. Use take some time to either color and think, or read some of the passages above and think about what Jesus has done for you on the cross. Cross Coloring Page 1 and Cross Coloring Page 2.
Prayer: Dear Lord, You paid it all. Thank you for dying on the cross to save us from our own sins that we make each and every day. We are in awe and grateful of you. Thank you that even though you took a long Journey to the cross, that was not your final destination. We love you Lord, Amen.
