The hot lunch program has an immediate need for a kitchen team member for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Candidates should love to work as a member of a team, love God, and love kids. We will consider applicants that have interest in one or both days. Please email Brian at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org, if interested.
ACS has a significant need for more substitute teachers. If you are interested or know someone that might have interest, please email Brian at bkoetje@allendalechristian.org. Some educational experience is preferred, but not absolutely necessary. Additionally, this can be a good opportunity for a college student on days where they do not have classes.
The Mother/Daughter event will take place on Thursday evening, October 28 from 5:30-7:30pm. We will be heading to Fruit Ridge Hay Rides for hay rides, corn mazes, a bonfire and snacks. An information sheet went home with your daughters earlier this week. Please turn in the bottom portion and payment by Tuesday, October 19th, if you plan to attend!
The theme for the 2021 Foundation Dinner is An Evening of Impact. We are excited to have individuals from our own Allendale Christian School Community speaking on the impact ACS has had on them and their families, and how God is on the Move at ACS! Mark your calendars! Tuesday, November 9 from 6:00-8:30, hosted here at the Allendale Christian School gymnasium, you are invited to make an impact on the students of ACS. Come and hear the stories of how others are impacted by Allendale Christian School, while enjoying a meal catered by Johnny B's BBQ (an ACS alumni!) and music by the ACS Staff Praise Team. To RSVP, please email rsvp@allendalechristian.com with a list of all attendees and any dietary restrictions.
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! Sign Up Genius link
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!
