Week of 27 April

Good Evening,

I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. It is tough to stay inside with all of these beautiful days we are having!

Thanks to Ms. Leidtke's advisory for providing us with our last "pay if forward" contribution to our ACS Middle School. Students in the advisory class organized some great music, a game of Chaos, and a perfect ice cream treat last week. I will be honest.....it was such a nice morning to enjoy the beautiful sunshine, some relaxed social time, and a bit of ice cream....even I did not want to go back to class! It was nice to see the students just take some time and just hang out for a bit....a little balance in life and time taken to appreciate each other.

From our French and Spanish Teachers:
The World Language Oral Skills Showcase for French and Spanish will take place on June 3 starting at 4:00. Please attend and enjoy our students performing in a world language.

From one of our Seniors:
Please come to the Color Run taking place this Saturday. A bus will leave from ACS @ 10:00 to the Scandanavian Forest. All proceeds will go to support school supplies for a local school.

Adventure Jordan reminder:
Gr 6 students depart Tuesday to Azraq and will return on Wednesday.

Good Evening, 

Welcome back......I hope everyone enjoyed their time during Spring Break. It was a much anticipated week, however, I now fear the rest of the school year is going to go by entirely too quickly! 

As we get back into our routine this week, I only have a couple of highlights for you. 

Reminder...
