Avenue City R-IX

Round #1 of the cutest ACES Trick or Treaters

🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ The ACES staff has Superhero Powers all year long! 💪
Usually, you don’t get to see their capes—but on the day of Halloween, those powers are truly put to the test! 🎃👻
Thank you to our amazing team for keeping the magic (and the candy) under control today! 🍬✨

🎃🚒 While you’re out Trick-or-Treating , make a stop at Station 4 anytime from 5:30-8:00 PM.
Our firefighters (a.k.a. the bravest dragon tamers in town) will be handing out treats and sharing a few fire safety tips — because even breathing dragons need to stay safe around flames! 🔥🐉🍬

Stay safe, have fun, and remember: stop, drop, and roll (but not for candy)! 😄

🎃🕷️👻 All things Halloween at ACES! From spiders and skeletons to bats, pumpkins, and colorful leaves — our halls were filled with princesses, monsters, candy, sweets, and lots of smiles! 🧡🖤

United Way is preparing meal kits for families who may be affected by the possible suspension of SNAP benefits in November. Please see the flyer for details and additional support.

Our 4th graders are participating in the Mosaic Challenge, a fun engaging program that focuses on healthy lifestyles! Through hands-on activities, students learn about the importance of nutrition, fitness, teamwork, & making positive choices—all while setting personal goals.

The ACES battled hard at Maysville tonight! The lady ACES get another win 19-16, while the boys fall just short 34-37.

We are so proud of our middle school student, who auditioned and earned a role in the community theater production of *“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!”*

This classic story reminds us that sometimes the most unexpected people can teach us the greatest lessons. As the play says:
**“It was the best Christmas pageant ever—maybe the best Christmas ever—because it came straight from the heart.”** ❤️

Congratulations, Your ACES family is cheering you on both on and off the stage!

🎃 For a short week, our ACES accomplished so much! From Pumpkins and Parent-Teacher Conferences to Ga-Ga Ball, basketball, and Entrepreneur Club! 1st Quarter is behind us and we are looking forward to 2nd Quarter!

From Spooky the Square Pumpkin & Parent-Teacher Conferences to Ga-Ga Ball, basketball, & Entrepreneur Club — our students were busy learning in every way! They practiced sight words, tackled new math concepts, memorized historical speeches, & made memories along the way.

"Pass the Pumpkin!”- Preschoolers to upper elementary, kids are keeping the beat, learning rhythm, & sharing smiles as the music moves from hand to hand. It’s such a joyful reminder that sometimes the simplest traditions bring the most fun — especially when music is involved!

We will be partnering with the Savannah Police Department for a Prescription Drug Take Back during the Fall Festival on Saturday, October 25th from 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. under the Gazebo. Community members can safely dispose of unused or expired medications.

ACES Entrepreneur Club students participated in mock interviews, gained feedback, & learned what it takes to run a successful business. A huge thank you to our local company owners for mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs — your support makes a lasting impact!

With help from the Andrew County Museum we explored genealogy & history that makes Andrew County home. Gaining a deeper appreciation for where we come from & the people who came before us. Understanding our roots helps build a sense of belonging that ties generations together.

A great first basketball game for the ACES Men! They take home the win against the Union Star Trojans, 47 to 33. See both boys and girls in action next Monday at home versus South Holt.

It’s Parent/Teacher Conference Week at Avenue City School! These meetings are such an important part of your child’s educational journey. Conferences give parents and teachers a chance to work together—celebrating progress, setting goals, and ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed. We appreciate our families for taking the time to partner with us. When schools and families work together, great things happen for kids!
