THANK YOU

A BIG “THANK YOU” to everyone who helped with the Festive Christmas Celebration last Friday evening! It was an outstanding evening with our ACA “Family” as we worshiped, laughed, and fellowshipped together. We especially thank you for the generous outpouring of love in the offering. We received $4300 in the offering to bless our 36 full-time and part-time faculty and staff at Christmas! Thanks so much!

“THE NUTCRACKER”

Ticket are on sale for the ACA performances of “The Nutcracker” this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday presented by the Junior Performing Arts Company. Adult tickets are $8.50 and student tickets are $6.00. You and your family will enjoy this extravaganza of music, lights, dancing, and colorful costumes! These performances will sell out, so get your tickets now! You can still get tickets in the school office. DON’T MISS IT!

TEST SCORES

ACA students who took the PSAT, PLAN, or EXPLORE tests this fall received their test scores today. Part-time students who did not receive their scores should see Mr. Tracy. Parents, please ask to see these score sheets and discuss them with your students. Mr. Post would be glad to meet with parents and students about their test results, please call the office to make an appointment.

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. Thank you to each House and Grammar class that has been 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. Thank you for helping with this ministry!

FINAL EXAM DAYS

First semester final exams will be on December 16, 17, & 18. All students will be dismissed at 2:00 on December 16th, and at noon on December 17 & 18. No lunch will be available on that Thursday or Friday, and there will be no after school care that Friday. The school office will close at 12:30 on Friday, December 18th, for Christmas Break. Please make arrangements to have your children picked up at noon that Friday, the 18th. For a complete look at the final exam schedule, please CLICK HERE or pick up a schedule in the school office.

JANUARY LUNCH ORDER FORMS

It seems very early to be thinking about lunches in January, but with Christmas Break rapidly approaching, we are putting out the January lunch order form early. If you are ordering for the month, please turn in your order form and payment by Friday, December 18th. Pick up an order form in the office or get one HERE.

WINTER WEATHER

If snow and ice hit the Tulsa metro area, please listen to KRMG or KFAQ radio, or turn on one of the local TV stations to see if ACA is closed for the weather. Please do not call the teachers or staff - they won’t know either until it is announced on the radio or TV.

PARENT’S NIGHT OUT

To help raise money for the upcoming Eastern Seaboard trip, the juniors & seniors will be offering “Parent’s Nights Out” the week after finals. This is a great opportunity for you to leave your children with young, energetic students so you can finish that last minute shopping, or just to enjoy dinner with other adults! Dates will be from Friday, December 18 through Wednesday, December 23 with exact times to be announced next week. No hourly fee, but donations are welcome! Please contact Rhonda Morgan at 492-5519 to reserve your spot. Childcare will be provided in a home with an adult present.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to Kodie Washington, an ACA 6th grader. Kodie submitted an essay to the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ Patriot’s Pen Essay Contest, and she won at the local level and then at the district level. Now her essay goes on to the state competition! Good luck Kodie – we are proud of you!

FAMILY GAME NIGHT

The students who are going on the Junior/Senior trip to the Eastern Seaboard will be hosting a Family Game Night on Friday, January 15th, at 7:00 p.m. as a fundraiser for their trip in March. Plan to come and spend a fun evening together! There will be games available for every age group, including the little ones under age 5! We will have face painting as well as group games.
