Tickets for ACS students can be purchased for $15 on school cash online, and guest tickets can be purchased at the back of the caf on all 3 lunches. Don’t forget your signed guest forms! This event is popular and likely to sell out fast. Be sure to get your tickets early so you aren’t disappointed.
2. Lions, have you noticed the Christmas tree on the second floor near the chapel? This beautiful Christmas tree is called the TREE OF HOPE! We set this tree up every year to help with our Pennies from Heaven Campaign. As you can see, the tree is filled with ornaments that have a gift card request written on them. If you feel that you can help one of our school families with one of these generous gift card donations, please remove the tag from the tree, buy the gift card, and return them together to the main office. Every gift card collected will go to the families that we support through our Pennies From Heaven Campaign. Thank you for your support!...and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
3. Hey Hey Homerooms! Listen up y’all! The next Pennies from Heaven classroom collection will happen this TODAY.

Teachers, please excuse the interruption to your class time as we hope this will only take a few minutes. Remember, we will count the money and record it for you!
