If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Delnick.
3. The 2024-2025 Yearbook is available for pick-up. All students who have paid their activity fees from the last academic year will receive a yearbook. If you missed our distribution on Friday, yearbooks will be available on grade 10 and senior lunch today in the cafeteria. Students with a Spare, Co-op, or online course during Period 7 are encouraged to pick up their yearbooks this week. Siblings of a recent ACS grad can pick up their yearbook in the office. Make sure you write your name in your yearbook immediately after you receive it.
4. Good morning, Lions! Are you a young man interested in growing in your faith or maybe just curious about what that journey could look like? If so, listen up! A group of men in the faith leadership class are hosting a Men’s Faith Event in the cafeteria during Period 2 on Wednesday, December 17th. Come out to talk about what it means to live out your faith as men, support one another, and build a real sense of community. To sign up, just scan the QR codes posted around the school or on the ATV slideshow. There are only 80 spots available, so make sure you sign up fast – the deadline is TODAY! We hope to see you there!
5. Tomorrow is the day for all those going to see “White Christmas” at the Shaw Festival on Wednesday, December 17th – our departure time has moved up to 8:20a.m. tomorrow morning! Please make arrangements to be at the music room door at that time or the bus will leave without you! Make sure to be wearing nice clothing (no ripped jeans) and bring a lunch or money for a lunch. We will return to ACS by 5pm.
