The Charger: News from ACA

Thank you so much for the donations toward our “Day of Love'' service project! Before the winter weather hit and we had to close school Monday, February 8th, we were able to hold chapel where we reviewed the virtue of work, specifically working for the Lord.

The Grammar school students then put their work into action by filling 54 hygiene bags with essentials for the homeless. We also placed within the bags encouraging pictures, notes and scripture, then we prayed for each person that will receive this blessing. During the days of cyber learning, I was able to assemble another 45 bags with the extra items that didn't get assembled during the chapel. Because of your generosity, we will show the love of Jesus to 100 people through the Taco Tuesday ministry.

A note on testing from

the Academic Counselor:

ACT 8/9:

On Friday, March 5th, we will be giving the ACT 8/9 to all of our 8th grade students and any 9th graders new to ACA this year. This test replaces the Explore Test that we have given previously to our 8th graders. The test will begin at 8:00 and end at approximately 11:45. This is the test we will use to determine an 8th grade reading level when our students are ready to get their driver’s permit, so we strongly encourage al 8th graders to participate. Part-time students who are not normally at ACA on Friday mornings are strongly encouraged to come that day for the test. Students should bring two #2 pencils, a calculator, a snack, and a water bottle.

Pre-ACT:

On Tuesday, March 9 we will be giving the Pre-ACT to all of our 10th grade students. The test will begin at 8:00 and end at approximately 11:45. Part-time 10th graders who are not normally in attendance on Tuesday mornings are strongly encouraged to come that day for the test. Students should bring two #2 pencils, a calculator, a snack, and a water bottle.

Please contact Ms. Becki if you have any questions about either of these test days.
