RAISE FUNDS FOR ACA WHILE YOU SHOP ONLINE

When shopping online, we can earn money for ACA by STARTING our shopping at Boxtops for Education Marketplace. Our school will receive a donation of up to 8% back on every qualifying purchase, up to $20,000 per year, at no additional cost to anyone. For more information, see this article.

CAMPBELLS LABELS & BOXTOPS

If you have been saving your Campbell’s labels and General Mills Boxtops for Education, now is the time to bring them to the school office. We have a lot of labels and boxtops that were turned in over the summer and during first quarter, and we will soon be sending them in for redemption. If you haven’t been saving labels and boxtops, start saving them now for our spring turn in date.

SCHOOL DIRECTORY NOW AVAILABLE

A directory of our ACA families and faculty members is now available in the school office. The directory includes addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. Each family gets one free, and additional copies are $2.00.

COME PRAY FOR ACA

Each Thursday at 12:45, a group of parents will be meeting for a time of prayer for our school, teachers, and students. Please consider joining with these parents each Thursday as you are able. They meet in room 201 and they finish by the time school is dismissed.
