The pre-k class has been enjoying the changing of the season and learning about leaves and how they change colors in the autumn. Today they went on a leaf hunt to collect leaves around our school, and used them to paint leaf prints.

As our science lesson we learned about the five senses and related them to the season of Fall. The students had fun coming up as a class with different ideas to compete this mini project. They are very proud of their work!

Thanks to everyone that attended our first FSA Meeting tonight. It was great to see a lot of new faces mixed in with some familiar ones.

At our first meeting, Mrs. Shumny spoke about the new Language Arts program being successfully implemented at ACS. The FSA President Mr. Daly spoke about the upcoming Christmas Bazaar and many other activities sponsored by FSA this year.

The 7th graders worked together with both the 1st and 2nd graders on their first Buddy Projects of the year titled, "Getting to Know You."

See you next month Buddies!

On September 24, nearly 100 ACS parents, students and siblings gathered for the school’s first Back to School Movie Night Under the Stars.

What a wonderful way to strengthen our ACS Community.
