LIBRARY DEDICATION & FAMILY MEETING

Tuesday night, March 3rd, at 6:30 p.m, we have the opportunity to come together as families for a fireside chat, to celebrate and dedicate our new library together. The meeting should last one hour. Please come on time and stay for fellowship and snacks afterward. There are exciting things to share as well as opportunities for anyone to get involved. The attendance of every family is requested. It will be a fun time to reconnect with one another, catch up on ACA news, and unveil the beautiful new library, but it won’t be complete unless you are there!

“BEAUTY & THE BEAST” WORK NIGHT

We are having a “Beauty & the Beast” Work Party THIS Friday Night beginning at 5:00 pm, but you can arrive anytime thereafter. ALL parents, whether your child is in the production or not, are encouraged to come out and join the party. High school students wanting to work are encouraged to come. Junior High students must attend with an adult. 

Tom Wilsterman will head up the construction of the 2 story stage. Mr. Post will head up other aspects that need to be done, such as pulling out props and furniture from the annex, painting, making some props, etc. Pizza will be available at 6:00 pm. A $2 donation per person to cover the cost of the pizza would be appreciated. You will need to provide your own beverage. 


OPEN HOUSE DATES SET

ACA has scheduled some Open House dates for prospective families. Please help us spread the word about the following Open House times:

Monday, March 2nd, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Wednesday, March 11th, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Monday, March 30th, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Most of our students come to us through “word of mouth” advertising, so we need each of our families to invite/bring friends or family who might be interested in enrolling their student at ACA. You can print out a flyer with these dates here.

RE-ENROLLMENT FOR 2009/2010

Re-enrollment forms have been mailed to all of our ACA families. Currently enrolled families should return their enrollment forms by March 15th to reserve their student’s place in their class. We do expect some classes/subjects to close, so enroll now! After March 15th, we will be accepting new students for next year. A $100 per family tuition deposit is due with your re-enrollment forms. This deposit will be applied to your 2009-2010 tuition. After June 30th, both current and new families will be charged an additional non-refundable $100 Late Enrollment Fee. Call the office if you have any questions concerning re-enrollment.

MONTHLY LUNCH ORDERS

Burger King is now available on Mondays for lunch! The lunch order form for March is now available in the school office or by clicking here. If you are ordering for the month, please return your order form and payment to the office by Friday, February 27th.

ISRAEL TRIP

Twelve ACA students and ten teachers, parents, and friends will leave on a 14 day trip to Israel on Thursday March 12th. They will stop in Amsterdam for a whirlwind, 8 hour tour on their way to Israel where they will visit such places as an Israeli high school, En Gedi, Masada, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, and Jerusalem. Please pray for this group as they prepare for this once in a lifetime experience.
