Order forms are available “here” or in the school office. Orders and payment are due in the office by September 11th.

LUNCHES

Lunches have begun! A lunch order form for September is available “here” for those who prefer to order for the entire month and write one check. Lunch order forms are also available in the office. Students may still order lunch each morning in their classroom. Monthly order forms should be returned to the office with payment by this Friday, August 28th.

Come dressed as your favorite character from the film for our costume contest! Everyone will receive a fun pack and the song lyrics, and you will want to have an Oz Dog or Munchkin bar while you watch the movie. Tickets are on sale now in the school office: $6 per person with a maximum of $25 per family. Proceeds go to the ACA Performing Arts program.

This Friday, August 28th, is Final Friday Spirit Wear Day for everyone. Students may wear jeans and an ACA or House t-shirt or polo shirt. Please check the Parent/Student Handbook for Spirit Wear guidelines. No coupon is necessary!

BOOKS REQUESTED

The K4, K5 and 1st grade classes are seeking donations of new or “gently used” copies of children’s books from the ACA recommended reading list - see below. With the great success of the ACA Grammar School’s reading program comes a need for new and varied challenges for the students. If you have extra or old copies of these selections that you are willing to part with, please leave them with Mrs. Schwenk. Your donation would be greatly appreciated by our youngest students. “Book List”

YEARBOOK PICTURE DAY

ALL students will need to be photographed for the 2009-2010 ACA yearbook. The photographer will be here the morning of Friday, September 11th, and will begin taking pictures at 8:00 a.m. Part-time students can drop in that morning before 9:30 and get their picture taken.
