Funeral Service
Parents,
There will be funeral service taking place at Calvary Hill Church during the school day tomorrow. A very large crowd is expected as the service is in honor of a member of the church who was also a state trooper. The services begin at 9:00AM and will continue into the early afternoon. If you will need to visit the school between the hours of 9:00AM and 2:00PM, parking will be extremely limited. Calvary Hill Church has organized overflow parking at surrounding locations that you may need to utilize if you arrive during those times. Please plan accordingly. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time for one of our church families.
Because of the busy situation tomorrow and because the school is closed on Friday, we will be ordering pizza for lunch instead of the regular hot lunches. Please send a bagged lunch with your child if you would rather they not have pizza for lunch. Thank you!
Tomorrow is a dress down day for students. Students may pay $1 to dress down for the day.
Also, this is a reminder that your registration packet and fee is due by tomorrow in order to receive the $25 voucher per child toward the book fees. In order for your child to be registered for the 2009-2010 school year and receive this voucher, your registration fee must be paid with your paperwork.
Tomorrow night is the ACA Open House from 7:00PM-9:00PM. All parents are encouraged to attend. This is a great opportunity for you to meet with the teacher that your child will have next year!
Have a great night!!!

Teacher/Staff In-Service Day-No School
Parents,
I have several notes for you this week! It's a busy time around the school and a lot is happening. :)
As a friendly reminder, we ask that if you need to pick your child up from school early that you give the school as much notice as possible. The teachers prefer that you send in a note first thing in the morning to let them know what time you will need your child to be ready. If that is not possible, please contact the main office and let us know as much in advance as you can. We will then contact your child's teacher to let her know and she will make sure your child has his/her homework for the day and things together when you arrive. This avoids disrupting the class and saves you waiting time when you arrive as well. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
As stated on the school calendar, there is no school this Friday, March 20th due to teacher/staff in-service day.
Make-up day for the ACA book fair will be on Thursday. If your child missed the opportunity to browse or purchase from the book fair during their scheduled time this week, they will have the opportunity to visit the book fair again on Thursday. You may send in money with your child to do that. Parents are welcome to browse the book fair as well from 2:00-4:00 tomorrow or Thursday and again during the open house on Thursday night.
Yearbook orders are due on Thursday. Don't miss your chance to purchase a yearbook for the 2008-2009 school year! The cost is $35. Checks can be made payable to ACA and sent into school with your child.
Keep in mind that if your registration packet and fee are received by this Thursday, you will receive a $25 voucher per child to be used toward book fees.
DVD's of the elementary Christmas production "O Christmas Tree" are now available in the main office for $10.
Phew- that's it for now! :) Hope that you are having a great week!

Open House-Thursday, March 19th at 7:00 PM Please Attend
Parents,
This Thursday, March 19th at 7:00PM is ACA's Open House night for the 2009-2010 school year. All parents are encouraged to attend! The goal is for you to visit the classroom teacher that your child will have for the 2009-2010 school year. Your children are welcome to attend this night as well- we ask only that they remain under your supervision for the entire night as this is a time for parents and children to spend together getting to know next year's teachers a little better. This will also ensure that our teachers are available to talk with you and answer any questions you may have. Teachers will have their curriculum on display for you to look through and they will be available to answer questions you may have.
This event is also open to the public and we encourage you to invite any families you may know that would be interested in looking into educating their children at Ambassador Christian Academy. The open house is a great opportunity for prospective families to see what our school is all about! If you need more open house fliers to hand out, please let me know and I will send them home with your child.
If you have any questions, please contact the main office at 856-881-3669. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday night at 7:00PM!

Props Needed for Musical and Spring Production
Parents,
As you know, many of your children have been working very hard in preparation for the upcoming spring productions. Now we need the help of our parents to get everything together and make these productions the best they can be!
K4-4th grade will be doing a musical called Arkeology (the study of Noah and the Ark). The children will be working to make their own animal masks and such. If you have any old animal costumes that you would like to donate or have your child use, please let Miss Cuoco know. Also, if your children have any animal print shirts, pants, or leggings, those would be very helpful as well.
4th-8th grades will be performing "The Miracle Worker". If you have sewing ability and would be willing to donate some time to help sew costumes from the early 1900's, please let Miss Cuoco know. We are also in need of the following items for this production:
-Men's hats
-Suspenders
-Wingtip shoes
-Ladies shoes that look like they could be from the era
-Parasol
-A pump for an old-fashioned well
-Wick latern
-Long dresses- something we could make to look like that era
- A wood cradle
Anything you are able to do will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for helping us to make these productions very special!
