On November 18, we celebrated International Day.  Students were encouraged to dress up in traditional costumes of their favorite foreign countries.  We had a wonderful international lunch for all of the students and had a special missionary emphasis during the day.  We hope that all of our students will see the many countries of this world as the potential places of God's service for them.  May God send many of our students into His vast harvest field.

In July 2009 one of our seniors, Daniel Steinbach, participated in the American Association of Christian Schools 15th Annual Youth Legislative Training Conference in Washington DC.  Daniel received a full scholarship for the conference. 

The week’s activities included a Congressional briefing in the U.S. Capitol in which five Representatives and one Senator addressed the students.  Later in the day students were addressed by Rep. Michelle Bachmann (MN-6th) before receiving a private tour of the U.S. Capitol by Rep. Randy Forbes (VA-4th).  Both Bachmann and Forbes are ardent defenders of Christian liberties, and they conveyed the prominence of their personal faith very effectively.

The week’s activities ended at Arlington National Cemetery where four students were given the opportunity to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on behalf of AACS.  

Your support of our Box tops program has been very encouraging! We earn cash for our school every time you shop for groceries and clip Box Tops from hundreds of your favorite products. Each Box Top is worth ten cents to our school—and that adds up fast! We have a contest each month to see which class brings in the most box tops. That class is rewarded with a special treat. This fundraiser has been a great benefit to our school. Please continue to collect them and ask your relatives and neighbors to save them as well.
