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

For more information on either of these programs, please contact:

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

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 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 our 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!
