Teacher Pie in the Face Day! As apart of our PBIS rewards program, students can earn tickets throughout the year for showing responsibility, respectfulness, and safety. Students were randomly drawn to then get a chance to pie their teacher in the face! The kids were excited for the chance and had a blast watching and cheering them on!
On the last day of school, we have a fun tradition of an afternoon carnival!! It was a beautiful sunny day with so many great activities planned! Kids loved the snow cones, mini golf, parachute, dance offs, face painting, bean bags, and bouncy house! Thanks to Jessica Bowden for planning it all! Thanks to all of the parents who volunteered to run the stations! We always appreciate the parent help all year long! We also had the annual hot dog toss between Mrs. Van Duyn and a student as well!! Fun memories!
End of the Year Awards Ceremony honors all of our students accomplishments throughout the year! Each of the specials teachers announce outstanding performances in their area. Every teacher gives a shout out to their class for something special they have accomplished. We recognize our leaders in school who volunteered for Kids Care or Dow Rummel or did Student Council. There are academic and attendance awards and the list goes on and on! We end it by recognizing our Nancy Plato Award which is given to a parent who has demonstrated above and beyond support in and out of our school in a positive caring way. This year's award winner was Sarah Bauer! Congrats!
Big shoutout to the Student Council, Rob Hollan, and the ACE school community for the food drive for pajama day! 272 pounds of food were donated! Thank you for your support! Thanks Rob for taking on Student Council again this year!
We also want to wish the Hollan family well as an outgoing ACE family who has contributed positively to our school community in many ways over the past 10 years! Thanks for everything!
