This past Monday, the Board of Directors voted to eliminate the all school Nut Free policy starting with the 2022-2023 school year. This was done in consultation with current families that have students with nut allergies. The hot lunch program will continue to be nut-free and work to meet the needs of different allergies and food sensitivities. Additionally, when we have students with different allergies, we will work on a class by class basis to make sure students are safe and classroom families are aware. If you have any questions, please reach out to Brian Koetje at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org.

Our ACS Kristina Moelker 5K will be held at 6:30 the evening of Wednesday, May 11 at Allendale High School. No need to register, no cost to participate and no t-shirts this year. If you would like to join us to run or walk and would like to be included in race results, we will hand out bibs the evening of the race. If you would just like to enjoy an evening walking or running the course, join us at the starting line. Running club kids will be celebrating the end of their season and would love to have the community join them in this event. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Lamer (dlamer@allendalechristian.com).
