Congratulations to Kara Jones and Marlan Golden on being selected to receive Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarships. Such awards are made through the Alabama State Department of Education and are for $1500 per year on a 3-year cycle of renewal. Students qualifying for this prestigious award must:
(1) be ranked in the top 5 percent of their graduating class,
(2) have a G.P.A. of at least 3.50 and
(3) have an ACT score of 25 or higher.
Kara was also the valedictorian of her class while Marlan was a co-salutatorian. We at ACA are so proud of both of them and wish them well in their future pursuits at college.
Congratulations to Will Thompson who has just became the Class 4A state runner-up in golf! This is the highest any golfer from ACA has ever finished. Will had the low round in 4A today and finished 3 strokes behind the state champion. He had a two day total of 145 and shot a low of 70 today! Congratulations to Will, his parents and Coach Paul Fisher!
Go Eagles!

Dear Parents,
I want to express my appreciation to all of you who participated
in the SACS surveys which were conducted via the internet
back in March. As most of you know, all SACS accredited
schools undergo a "self-study" every five (5) years
and host an independent team of on-site reviewers. This year
is ACA's year for such an on-site review. Ours is scheduled
for April 29th and 30th. In order to keep you informed of
our progress, we have posted our "self-study" (Standards
Assessment Report) on our website. You'll find it under the
"About Us" section and under the sub-menu "SAR
Report" (www.alabamachristian.com/docs/sar.pdf).
Additionally, you are encouraged to review the results of
all our SACS Surveys. They are also posted under the "About
Us" tab (www.alabamachristian.com/sacs.html)
. While you are there,
check out our "School Profile". I hope that
you find all of this information helpful and enlightening.
If you have questions, feel free to email me. Thanks again
for your help and support of our school.
God bless, Milton Slauson, Supt.
Congratulations
and thanks are in order to ACA's National Honor Society and
its sponsors Mrs. Cindy Savage and Mrs. Tia Mitchell. They
sponsored another incredibly successful blood drive for the
Red Cross on Wed., Jan. 20th.
Due to the cooperation and willingness of
our students, parents, faculty and friends, 116 pints of blood
were drawn. ACA's annual blood drive is by far the largest
of any other school in the tri-county area. Thanks to all
our donors and volunteers "for giving the gift of life"
and thinking of the needs of others.
Congratulations to this year's grade level
spelling bee winners:
5th Grade: Jacob
Lee
6th Grade: Devin Gilliam
7th Grade: Hunter Joiner
8th Grade: Evan McCullers
Congratulations go to Evan McCullers.
He won our school-wide spelling bee which was held on Wed.,
Jan. 6, 2010. Evan will represent ACA in the Montgomery
County Spelling Bee to be held at Frazer Methodist Church
on Mon., Feb. 1st. Way to go Evan! We are proud of you!
Anytime students are absent
from school, they MUST bring written notes
from parents or doctors and obtain "green slips"
in order to be excused and allowed back into class. Remember,
after 3 school days, written notes will NOT be accepted.
Students NOT bringing notes for absences are subject to
detention as per our handbook. Thanks is advance for your
cooperation.
