Final Call!
You're Invited to an Evening of
Impact.
The Foundation Dinner is an event hosted by ACS each year to build community around an amazing meal. This is also a great opportunity to come and learn about what the foundation does for our school, get an early tour of the expansion, all while getting to know the ACS community more. This event is open to all parents and grandparents to attend!
Tuesday, November 9 from 6:00-8:30 in the ACS gymnasium, come and witness the impact of Allendale Christian School firsthand as people from our own community share what ACS is truly about. If you have never attended, or have several times before, you are invited to join and hear from 4 individuals connected to ACS share their stories of impact about Allendale Christian School (parent/alumna, grandparent, teacher/alumna, and current student). Johnny B's Barbeque (ACS parent and alumnus) is providing a delicious meal, with music by the ACS staff band.
We are extending an invitation to you to attend one of our Vision Events. We are hosting these events at school (with some virtual options), with several dates and times available to attend. It is at one of these events that you can come to find out more about the school and where we are headed. This is not a fundraising event, but rather an informative one where we get to share the awesome things God is doing and where He is leading the school! It is at one of these events that you can hear about the initiatives of the school, understand the vision and direction of ACS, and get a fuller picture of the future of ACS. We are excited to share this with all those who would attend, so please feel free to pass this information along to others in the ACS community (invite grandparents or even a neighbor who is interested in hearing more about Allendale Christian)!
Below you will find a link to sign up, and the dates and times of the Vision Events we are hosting. We want each event to be more personal so we are capping each event at 15 people. Please use the link below to sign up, or email your RSVP to acolerouser@allendalechristian.org.

Volunteer Opportunity! Throughout the course of the month, teachers will have the opportunity to meet with their grade-level team and our instructional coach for continued professional development. These meetings will be held during lunch, and we are looking for volunteers to help provide classroom coverage for these meetings. We would love it if you could please check out our sign-up genius and sign up to help with classroom lunchtime coverage in order to make this possible. We appreciate your help in this way!

Parents/Grandparents: Next time you are in the office, grab an ACS window sticker for your car, and one to share with a relative. This is a great way to show school pride and promote our community!

Unity Christian is hosting a parent night to inform, equip, and encourage parents of our students. Does the response you receive after telling kids what to do leave you feeling frustrated? Are you concerned the "things of this world" will overwhelm our young people? Have you given up the fight against technology and all it brings? Do you feel as though long-standing convictions about morality and truth are rapidly changing? If your answer to any of these questions is "Yes!", join us on Wednesday, November 10, at 7pm in the Jack Postma Worship Center at Unity Christian High School for a special presentation by Dan Landstra about culture, our kids, and the challenge of navigating an increasingly complex world. Note from Brian Koetje: "ACS Parents - I highly encourage you to attend this event at Unity Christian. As a parent of four kids, I have been blessed by the presentations from Dan Landstra in the past. Please try to attend this event if you are able."
