Community members have expressed interest in how Amendment 5 would impact ACES. We are committed to keeping our community informed on how shifting tax structures and state-level changes could directly affect our local classrooms, per-pupil funding, and operational budget stability. Take a look at the breakdown below to see what these potential changes mean for ACES.
For our final garden club we got to sample lettuce, spinach, and radish from the garden today! Then we used our mint to make a mint lemonade tasting paired with patriotic fruit kabobs and herb buttered bread 😋
Today at Summer Book Club was a BLAST!
A huge thank you to Justin Palmer for teaching us all about fireworks safety & how to celebrate responsibly. Then came everyone’s favorite part—he launched 250 parachutes into the sky, and our students raced across the field to catch them!
🎯 **DISTRICT PRIDE:** What an incredible week for Avenue City School archery! We are thrilled to celebrate 5th grader Kolt, who recently traveled to Daytona Beach to compete against the absolute best young archers in the nation at the NASP 3D Championship Tournament!
Kolt put on a fantastic performance, capped off an amazing season, and represented with true excellence. Check out his incredible stats for the year:
🥈 **2nd Place** at State
🎯 **27th Place** at Eastern Nationals
🎯 **36th Place** at the East/West Championship
To achieve this level of success—especially as a fifth grader—is an extraordinary accomplishment that very few can claim!
We want to extend a HUGE thank you to Coach Jones and Coach Davis for their outstanding leadership and dedication in helping Kolt reach this level. Thank you to the entire Avenue City Community and the sponsors for helping support the ACES Archery Program.
The gardens are loving this rain! Cucumbers, radish, spinach, tomatoes, along with lots of herbs and milkweed. Today we made lavender soap!
📚🎲 Summer Book Club explored the fun of old-fashioned games!
Students put away the screens and discovered how much fun simple games can be. From classic favorites to games that grandparents may have played, there was plenty of laughter, and friendly competition.
Our gardeners rolled up their sleeves to weed and water the garden, helping our plants stay healthy and strong. We also learned all about ladybugs and the important role they play in keeping our gardens thriving. Hands-on learning, fresh air, and growing minds—just another great day in Garden Club!
