🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes 🇺🇸
Our Student Council did an incredible job hosting today’s Veterans Day Assembly! 📸 Swipe through the photos to check out highlights from the morning as our school community came together to recognize and thank local veterans and military families.
From speeches and musical tributes to recognizing the service members in attendance, it was a deeply moving morning dedicated to service, courage, and sacrifice.
Thank you to our Student Council leaders for organizing such a meaningful event, and to every veteran who joined us today. We honor and appreciate you today and every day! ❤️🤍💙
Why stress over Thanksgiving meal prep when you can go to Culver’s? Give yourself a pre-holiday cooking break and join the ACES PTO tonight from 5:00–8:00 PM.
Join us as we honor the brave men and women who have served our country, as well as those who proudly serve today. All community members, school families, and local veterans are warmly invited to attend.

🌽 ACES FOOD FIGHT: MWSU vs. NWMSU! 🥫
And the winner is… MWSU (Corn)! 🌽🏆
MWSU came out on top with 655 cans of corn, while NWMSU brought in 230 cans of green beans!
But here’s the best part… NO ONE REALLY LOSES! ❤️
Together, our ACES students collected an incredible 885 cans of vegetables that will be donated to Andrew County Ministries to help individuals and families right here in our own community.
A little friendly competition goes a long way when it comes to making a BIG difference!
We are so proud of our students for showing what it means to be an ACE and to take care of others. 🖤💛
🌞 Outdoor Classroom Day = STEM Learning🔬
A day outdoors turned into an opportunity for hands-on STEM activities! Our students took their learning beyond the classroom walls, exploring, experimenting, problem-solving, and putting their creativity to work.

Remember back in the summer when our younger gardeners planted those little seeds? 🌱 Well, look what happened!
Yesterday, our middle school students dug up one HUGE radish weighing in at 3 pounds, 7 ounces! 😳 That’s one impressive radish!
Now, it may not be a Missouri record (YET!), but we have a goal in mind. We’re going to give it another try next year and see if our ACES gardeners can grow a record-breaker! 🏆
Life is short—eat the sweet treat! 🧁✨

Our earliest learners are discovering the importance of civic duty and the voting process! 🇺🇸🗳️
Today, I had the pleasure of stamping their very own voter registration cards, officially getting them ready to participate in a class election later on. What a fun, hands-on way to introduce our youngest Aces to citizenship, responsibility, and the importance of having a voice!
We’re never too young to start learning about making a difference!
