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.
ACS’s Anti-Bullying Yo-Yo Assembly was a hit! Students were on the edge of their seats today when our special guest was performing his marvelous tricks. Even though he’s been ‘around the world’ he took the time to make our students days a bit brighter. Students not only learned new tricks but learned the true meaning of kindness and what it truly means to be a good friend to one another.
ACS Grades 3 – 8 rode the Liberty State Park ferry to walk in the foot steps of immigrants from over 100 years ago! Students took an audio tour that guided them through the very same process that immigrants experienced in the early 1900’s. From intelligence tests, to medical and legal examinations, students listened to stories about how immigrants entered America at Ellis Island. After a picnic lunch on the Ellis Island courtyard, another ferry ride took them to the Statue of Liberty and a view of Manhattan across New York Harbor. Thank you to all our chaperones and teachers for making this trip possible!
What does the ACS class of 2015 do during Easter break? Visit their old home and share their college decisions! We are so proud of these young scholars. Elena Z has committed to Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts, Katie P has committed to Rutgers Honors School, Steven M has been accepted in the Stars Program at Middlesex, Alyssa M will be attending Middlesex County College and Carlos C is still contemplating NJIT or Rowan University. We are so proud of these young alumni and pray that God continue to guide them as they celebrate their high school graduations and start this next chapter in their life.
What real life project are the 8th graders working on this month? Well, they love parties and with graduation on the way they have taken on the job of party planners! They have been working collaboratively on their presentation. The students have been trying to sell their company’s services to potential clients looking for a birthday party for 100 guests. They had to research prices, compare and debate within their groups and finalize a presentation to impress the possible clients. They have to create thank you cards and invitations to go along and select entertainment! They have been very surprised at how expensive it is to have a party!
