Avenue City Students Head to MO State Archery Tournament
Twelve students from Avenue City School will represent the district at the Missouri State Archery Tournament in Branson, March 18–21. Competing as part of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), the team will face top young archers from across the state.
We wish the students—whose skill and dedication have earned them this opportunity—every success as they compete. Special thanks and good luck to coaches Mr. Jones and Mrs. Davis for their guidance and support.
Don't forget to set your clocks **one hour ahead** tonight! While we "lose" an hour of sleep, we gain a whole lot of evening sunshine. ☀️
Enjoy the extra daylight, everyone! 🌷✨

From patterns on socks to the books on the shelf,
I’m reading and learning all by myself!
Then I line up the cereal boxes in rows,
To watch how a Domino waterfall goes!

At ACES, we’re growing more than readers and mathematicians — we’re growing citizens. 🇺🇸
This week, our students have been learning what it truly means to show good citizenship:
We’re proud of these three students and how they represent our school and community — because strong citizenship starts early and lasts a lifetime. ❤️
As archery season takes its final shot, we couldn’t be more proud of our entire team! 🏹
From the first practice to the final tournament, our archers have shown focus, determination, sportsmanship, and grit. They’ve improved their form, strengthened their confidence, supported one another, and represented our school with pride.
Every bullseye, every personal best, and every lesson learned along the way is something to celebrate. This season wasn’t just about scores — it was about growth, teamwork, and aiming for excellence in all things.
Great job, Archers!

Our students have been exploring pond life. We learned about frog habitats.
Of course, we couldn’t study frogs without practicing our own frog jumps! 🐸💚
Hands-on learning + a little hopping = a great day at ACES!
