Morning Announcements

Monday, January 24, 2022

Hey LIONS interested in seeing the Murder Mystery show called "Encore"?  I hear it's to die for!  Mystery, mayhem and mishaps occur on the stage the night Chase Masterson meets his demise - with an audience full of detectives we'll be sure to solve the case along with Deputy Mills and their sidekick, Junior.  Come on out on Thursday, January 27th at 6pm. The first 100 to sign up will get in FREE!  Email Mrs. Ratelband for the link to the forms or find it on our website and more!

Vocal ensemble is cancelled for January. Please check your email for any further information.  Stay safe Lions!

Look in the mirror. Do you see the 2022 Valedictorian looking back at you? I hope so.  Just a reminder that the completed Valedictorian application and essay are due to the Main Office, to the attention of Mr. Cacilhas, no later than the end of the school day on Feb. 11th and you must email Mrs. Fergus your essay by that due date as well.  All pertinent information can be found in the Graduation Package you received when you registered online, during the TEAMS information Meeting. 

Happy New Year Lions!  Our Prefects are wondering if you could use some help before the end of Quad 2?  If so, stop by Student Services to pick up an application for some free Homework Help.  Also, if you would like to practice speaking English or a different language, ask us about our Prefect Languages Mentorship.  We look forward to meeting and working with you.  From: the ACS Prefect Program".

Mrs. Santos and Mrs. Engell are excited to welcome you back into the library. We've created 3 new book displays and would love for you to borrow any of these selected titles - we even have brand new books. And if you borrowed a book before the holidays, please be sure to return it as soon as possible for the next person to read. Hope to see you in the library soon.

ATTENTION grade 12 students: You are reminded that the deadline to submit your community service hours is February 8th.  Please fill in your form and hand it into Student Services BEFORE the deadline so that you can be eligible to graduate.
