Bigfork ACES Registration Fee and Monthly Fee

If you have not paid your monthly fee for September, please do so as soon as possible. We would like to receive all monthly fees by the 1st of each month. We really appreciate your help and understanding on this.

This is also a reminder that all registration fees are due as well. Registration fees are $25 for a single child and $50 for 2 or more in the family. This is to be paid when you turn in your registration forms. (Please note: If your children have been approved for Free OR Reduced lunch, you are only responsible for the initial registration fees)

Bigfork ACES Activities
Q U E S T C L U B

Over the next two months we will be introducing Quest Clubs!
What is Quest Clubs, you ask? Well, let me tell you:

Quest Club is an educational incentive program that uses badges and awards to encourage kids of all ages to take their education to the next level. By diving deeper into subjects they are already interested in, they will explore new ideas and experiences. Written by home schoolers, this program seeks to show kids that  everything can be fun and educational! The badges are similar to those used in scouting programs, requiring a certain level of mastery in a subject, but still offering a choice of options as to which activities to complete.

Check out some of the Quest Badges kids have already signed up for...

Craft Badges
Bird Watching Badges
Friendship Badges
Pen Pal Badges
Baking Badges
Jump Rope Badges

We are excited to start this new program at Bigfork ACES! Please watch for exciting updates!
After School Alliance
The House just voted to restore afterschool funding for 100,000 kids! In passing the Lowey/DeLauro Amendment by a vote of 228 - 188, Democrats and Republicans put children first.
We are in awe. There was nearly 7,000 notes delivered to Congress in just 14 days. And it worked.
Earlier this month, the Senate voted to maintain funding for afterschool at the same level as last year. And yesterday the House, which had slated a cut of $192M for afterschool, put $100M back in. Now, the House and Senate will need to reach agreement on a final budget figure.
