Monday: Catholic Schools Week 2022
Catholic Schools Week was off to a great start with some ACS trivia shared by Mrs. Lawrence. Did you know that ACS opened in 1963? Did you also know that our dear Sister Yosaphata was one of the first teachers in the school? She actually opened the school and then was here for 55 years! India Lillie and Gabbie D of Grade 8 shared their ideas of what ACS meant to them. Then two 8th graders shared what they love about their school – thank you Gabby and India-Lillie for your beautiful words!
During the day the middle school was treated to a midmorning snack of bagels and muffins, with milk or juice, and hot chocolate. This gave them the energy they needed to participate in the first round of their annual Jeopardy game. But that’s not all…..Grade 5 made pretzel treats and grade 4 had muffins to go along with their Magazine Monday.
Students in Pre k, K and 1 had a McDonald’s lunch provided by our FSA.
Students also started our “CSW Post it!. on their classroom door that contained their reason about why they love their teacher.
All in all, it has been a busy start to a great week. Check back in tomorrow to find out about the next bit of excitement taking place tomorrow at ACS.
