Everyone enjoyed their food and each other’s company. The waiter even complimented students good manners!

The 2019 ACS Jobs of the Future Expo was outstanding! Our students presented their future jobs to professionals from diverse walks of life. They conducted in depth research, contacted professionals within their fields, and developed a presentation to present to the community. Thank you to all the community members who evaluated projects, the 7th and 8th grade teachers for coordinating the projects, the teachers who attended and the Perth Amboy Police and Fire Department. Congratulations to the class of 2019 and 2020 for a job well done!

The students from Pre-Kindergarten through Fourth Grade honored their mothers by inviting them to a very special Mother’s Day Celebration at ACS. Mothers were presented with flowers, a pair of gloves and a cake with lemonade. The day was filled with big smiles and more than a few happy tears.

The middle school students were very lucky to be able to listen and learn about research methods in regards to public policy and the laws surrounding them. Dr. Hetling, a Rutgers professor and social scientist, caught the ears of the middle school students by discussing how her research had positively impacted society. They were also eager to hear how she played a key role in working with the new governor, Murphy, in working with the past governor in transferring policies and key information that effect all of us in a daily basis. Dr. Hetling also touched home by talking about future college possibilities for the students. Overall, the students had a great time, learned a lot, and asked many great questions that lead to a discussion that will be remembered.
