Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. All ACA students will be participating in the program and students should plan to be there right at 6:30 when the doors open.

LAKEWOOD CARE CENTER CHRISTMAS GIFTS

This Christmas we are making cards, taking pictures of our students, and collecting donations for skid-resistant socks for each of the residents at Lakewood Care Center. Each House and Grammar class will be collecting donations for the gift distribution. On Tuesday, December 15th, our Grammar classes will be going to the care center to present a program and give out the gifts. Parents are welcome to go along. The glow on the residents’ faces when we hand out their gifts is just priceless. Thank you for helping with this ministry!

DROP OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURE

Please DO NOT STOP IN THE DRIVEWAY to drop off or pick up your students. This blocks the driveway and causes traffic to back up onto 30th Street. We want to avoid further accidents happening. Please drop off and pick up in the back of the building. Thank you for your cooperation.
