Family Movie Night will be here on September 14th! Shrek
2 is
our featured film! So bring your friends and families, lawn chairs
and blankets for a night under the stars. The festivities will
begin 6:30 p.m. with an inflatable obstacle course, giant slide
and a special "young’un's only” bounce house!
Come hungry because there will be MANY delectable treats available
for purchase. Admission to the movie is free so feel free to bring
your friends and neighbors! Results of the movie vote will be posted
soon! Hope to see you there! A very SPECIAL thank you to the GUNS
FAMILY for donating the inflatables and the movie equipment for
Family Movie Night!
Sport and Skate on 5th and Jerry St. is selling ACS hoodies
for $23 each ($7 will go to the school for each sold.) Help
support
ACS and show your spirit at the same time!
The PTO has decided, based upon last school year’s survey
results, to move more to a direct-donation style of fundraising
as opposed to the traditional sales-based fundraising methods
of the past. The PTO is focusing on two very worthy endeavors
for this school year. The PTO seeks to fund a new Math Curriculum
for the school as well as new FM headsets. The anticipated total
costs for these two acquisitions will be in the neighborhood
of $85,000! The PTO cannot fund these items without your financial
support. Sincerely,
Kassie Smith
ACS PTO President 
Attend the September 19th PTO meeting and enjoy
a pizza
dinner with your family and FREE babysitting for
the meeting following dinner! In lieu of our restaurant nights
this school
year, we are providing dinner for our busy ACS families at
each PTO General Meeting.
Dinner will start at 6:15 pm and
run until 6:55 pm at which time you can drop your kiddos
off downstairs for FREE babysitting
by the 8th graders! The General Meeting will last approximately
1 hour.
Little Caesar’s Pizza is the featured restaurant
for this meeting. Please look in your Friday folder for your
pre-order form so we know how much to order! Please come
support our school. Your input is needed at our PTO general
meeting on September 19th (Remember each family
is required to attend one meeting a year and it also counts
towards volunteer time!). Family special: Box of pizza with 4 drinks, $10
Slice of pizza and drink, $3
All proceeds go to ACS.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!

PTO Enrichment is responsible for providing supplementary,
enriching cultural experiences. This year we are hoping to
provide a variety of programs. These programs include, Mad
Science, Abrakadoodle,
Tae Kwon Do, and golf! Stay tuned for more, later in the
year! Please pay close attention to the monthly PTO newsletter.
This is how we will be communicating coming events and the
need for volunteers, if necessary. If you have any suggestions
or special talents that you would like to share with the
students, please feel free to let us know! Thank you for
all of your support!

Don’t forget to check out the teacher “Wish
Lists” located on the ACS website. This is a great
way to support the teachers and departments for the extra
needs and wants that make the teachers jobs easier and more
creative, and ultimately make our students learning experience
even more fun.
ACS NEEDS YOU! If you have your own business or work for a
large corporation, ACS needs you. We need your support in any
and all areas you can think of. Many corporations have the
ability to match donations or make donations, and you might
not even know it. Sometimes all it takes is you proving you
are volunteering and your company can donate to your school.
We need you to go to your Human Resources Department or your
boss and ask them how that company can give back to your school.
Tell us what we can do to facilitate the donation, and we will
do all we can to assist your business. We can provide any documentation
needed for a tax write-off. Please contact us and let us know
how you and your company can help ACS.
