Today, we got to celebrate our amazing Assistant Principal during Mr. Armstrong Day! He has served our school community well, and we wish all the best in his future endeavors! #ExcellenceIsMrArmstrong

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming our future ACMS 6th graders for their visit, and we could not be more excited to have them join our ACMS family next year! We loved getting to meet so many bright, enthusiastic students and giving them a glimpse of all the amazing opportunities that await them here. We hope today helped build excitement for this next big step, and we can’t wait to watch each of them grow, learn, and succeed as part of our school community. The future is bright at ACMS, and we are looking forward to seeing these students walk our halls as official ACMS Cougars next year. Welcome to the beginning of an exciting new chapter—we can’t wait to have you here!

5th graders enjoyed an afternoon at the ball field. McMinn Cherokees played in a black and Gold game for students to correlate with their ELA study of Jackie Robinson.

Today was a fun-filled day of learning at Healthy Horizons Day for ACIS fourth grade students! Students explored the importance of making healthy choices through hands-on activities and lessons focused on nutrition, mental health, sun safety, dental health, physical education, and taekwondo. We sincerely appreciate the support of the McMinn County Health Department, TN Wesleyan University, Mr. Contreras, Coordinated School Health, and Bowater Credit Union for helping make events like today possible for our students. Their partnership and dedication create meaningful learning experiences that encourage our students to live healthy, active lives!

The last K-Kid project of the year was to use money from the dodgeball tournament to buy items to put into bags for the homeless in the community. Today Shower Bus #99 came to the school to pick up the bags and let some of the K-Kids tour the bus.
