PTO Enrichment is responsible for providing supplementary, enriching cultural experiences. Please pay close attention to the monthly PTO newsletter. This is how we will be communicating to parents regarding 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!!

The next teacher breakfast will be January 25th. Look for sign up sheets on the PTO board or contact Allyson- allyson4d@hotmail.com or Gina- momofboyzzz@comcast.net

Thank you to the following for helping out on our November teacher breakfast. The food was delicious and very much appreciated.

Cali Hanson, Annette Muholland, Allyson Lowe, Barb Henderson, Deanna Schmidt, Jill Gensler, Cinzia Bale, Patty Bennick, Shari Scholz, Cori M Ruth, Diane Ampe, Kim Gentry, Amy Santaro, Lorie DeBerard, Kelly Brown, Niki Schauerhammer, Kim Pearson, Jenny VerBerkmoes, and Adele Harbick.

The teachers and staff really enjoyed being taken care of those two days.

Every month we have the opportunity to feed our fantastic teachers! To show our appreciation to them we bring in breakfast the last Friday of the month. We also provide a luncheon for them twice a year around conference times.

Thanks for your help.

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 student's 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. 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.

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!
