Introduction
On
behalf of the ACA Board of Trustees, Administration, Faculty and Staff,
we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our financial
supporters. Together, many of you have formed a partnership with ACA
that helps provide an excellent Christian education to hundreds of
students each year. We are deeply grateful for your support. Your
generous support allows us to reach goals and provide opportunities
that otherwise could not be realized through tuition funding alone.
We are committed to the pursuit of excellence in all areas at ACA.
This commitment requires a dedicated and well-trained faculty, a motivated
and able student body, and the financial support of partners who share
our vision and mission. Mission indicates the core reason for our existence,
and vision implies that we see things not only as they are, but also
as they can become.
We
are certain that sufficient need exists at ACA for us to request funds
from families and friends that will allow us to work toward our vision.
As we have stated, these funds help us to accomplish things that could
not be accomplished through tuition alone. As a private school, we
receive no funding from tax revenues. Our help has to come from people
like you. The great news is that your tax-deductible gift to ACA allows
your money to stay in Montgomery, benefiting the young people of our
community.
Again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to those of you who have
helped us in the past and for those helping us currently. If you are
not currently a financial partner with ACA and would like to know
more about our vision, please contact us. Please continue to keep
ACA in your prayers as well.
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
On
Sunday, August 11, 2007, ACA held a ribbon cutting ceremony
at 2 p.m. to open and dedicate officially its new additions,
renovations and improvements. Mayor Bobby Bright and his wife,
Judge Lynn Bright, several members of the board of trustees,
all of our administrators and a number of teachers, parents,
students and stakeholders were present for the ceremony.
The completion of this year-long construction
project was good reason for celebration. The completed construction
added approximately 15,200 square feet of space to ACA’s facilities.
The total cost of construction was close to two million dollars.
It included: two new k/4 classrooms, with restrooms, hallway
and exit, two high school labs, two secondary classrooms, two
conference rooms, an office, a greatly enlarged teacher workroom
and extra restroom, a vast chorus room, storage for the MPR,
band and maintenance storage areas, a concession stand with
restrooms, and a press box with new stands for our Eagle supporters.
ACA gives God the glory and the thanks for all that has been
accomplished. Thanks are also due all of our supporters and
contributors who have served as God’s workers.

Giving
There are several ways for you to give to ACA. All gifts are tax-deductible
and help us achieve things that otherwise may not be achieved simply
through tuition funding. Following are some of the ways in which you
can help ACA. If you have any questions about any of these opportunities,
please give us a call.
1. Campaign Gifts:
You may make a pledge over a given period of time and make payments
in whatever manner that suits you best (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually,
annually, etc.)
2.
Honor and Memorial Gifts:
You may make a gift “In Loving Memory” or “In Living Honor” of someone.
Here is a printable donation form in Microsoft
Word or Adobe Acrobat.
3. Estate Planning:
If you have an interest, without obligation, in just learning
how you can help ACA in the long-term future, please contact us as
soon as possible. We can help you become familiar with areas such
as life insurance policies where you make ACA the beneficiary; charitable
remainder trusts where you can put a significant amount of money in
a trust, name ACA as the beneficiary, and you receive a continued
income from that trust for as long as you live; making ACA a beneficiary
in your will; and, by giving other appreciable items, such as land,
a house, a vehicle, etc.
