STEM lesson in the 1st grade.
On Friday our first grade was able to explore the new STEM classroom. They built towers with spaghetti and marshmallows. They had to use their architectural skills and try different structures and techniques to finally realize they needed a solid base. And guess what l? They learned that triangle structures were more stable then square structures! Even our virtual learners displayed their creations! Great work Mrs. Lombardi’s fantastic first grade!

Some of ACS students didn’t have to travel abroad to get a taste of Ireland thanks to members of school’s culinary club who under supervisions of their teachers prepared a delicious shepherd’s pie. The pie is a traditional Irish dish made with ground lamb, peas, carrots and topped with a mashed potato crust. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!

During the Lenten season, the students, teachers and staff of ACS attend the church of the Assumption and together pray and meditate upon the Stations of the Cross. The beautiful 14 mosaics of Stations on the walls help students understand the depths of Christ’s suffering and death and to take them to the place where He rose from death, conquering death at Easter.

Middle School Celebrates Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras is typically celebrated the day before Lent starts. It is the culmination of a season of fun that starts on Three Kings Day in January. The Class of 2021, 2022, and 2023 recently completed a research project in which they used the information to make a poster telling about the big day. In addition, each krewe as they are known, provided entertainment for other classes.
As part of their project each student constructed their own Mardi Gras float that was on display in the auditorium. Teachers evaluated floats, posters and the entertainment provided by individual krewes. The celebration included King Cake which is a staple at each party during the season. Students had a great time learning about this fun season before the solemn season of Lent.
Did someone say new windows?
This week, ACS replaced two student’s bathroom windows, a very large nurse’s office window and the teacher’s bathroom window. The construction team worked long hours and truly could not believe how well built our building is. This almost $12,000 project was planned for in the summer and finally was approved and completed. We are proud to say that ACS allocates and plans how to spend all monies provided through NJ Board of Education Security funding ….. and just wait until we install our next set of security cameras!
