🎉 The 100th Day of School celebration was SO much fun! 🎉 We hope everyone had a great time celebrating being 100 days smarter—and maybe even got a little rest afterward 😉 Now it’s time to recharge and get ready for the rest of the school year… we’re just getting started! 💙📚✨

Even though it’s cold outside ❄️🔥 Avenue City Archers are on FIRE today at the ACES Archery Challenge! 🏹 Focused, determined, and aiming high—way to represent, Archers! 🎯👏

Integrity = doing the right thing even when no one is watching. We are so proud of our students for showing integrity in their classrooms, on the playground, & with their friends every day. This is a quality that will help these students soar—at school and in life!

100 days. More than 100 smiles. More than 100 reasons to celebrate! 💯🎉 Our students went WILD celebrating being 100 Days Smarter!

Our youngest learners are already in full celebration mode! 🎉 Gearing up for the 100th Day of School by counting, creating, and having all the fun on the 99th day—because around here, learning starts early and joy is always part of the lesson. 💯📚✨

Hmmm… 🤔 Just a bunch of sleds sitting here. Makes us wonder — is something happening this afternoon? 😄❄️🛷

Our 5th graders are officially starting the Andrew County Junior Deputy Program! This program gives students a chance to build positive relationships with local law enforcement while learning about safety, responsibility, and making good choices. Making these connections early helps students see officers as trusted community partners and reinforces the importance of working together to keep our schools and community safe.

Brrr! ❄️ “You’re as cold as ice” — Foreigner

Because of dangerously low temperatures, predicted wind chills, and secondary roads, ACES campus will be closed 01/26/2026. This will be an Alternative Methods of Instruction day (AMI Day #1). Check your classroom teacher’s communication for instructions. Stay warm — see you Tuesday!

K/1 Book Club has been busy this month ❄️☃️ We loved reading about what snowmen do at night—and then putting our learning into action by making some delicious snowflakes! Reading, creativity, and a little winter magic all rolled into one sweet time together. 💙📚✨

❄️😂 Snow Day Magic at ACES! 😂❄️ We may or may not have pulled out all the snow day rituals… and we’re pretty sure they will work. 👀 Our students had a blast retelling The Mitten (spoiler: it was cozy and chaotic), ice skating like pros, rocking out to Boom, Clap, Shape!, bouncing their hearts out in the bounce house, and fully committing to snow-day superstition fun. ✔️ White crayons on the windowsills ✔️ Ice cubes flushed (don’t tell the plumbers 🙈) ✔️ Homework assignment: wear your PJs backwards and inside out Science? Maybe not. Fun? ABSOLUTELY. ❄️🧤 Snow or no snow, learning at ACES is always a blast!

Today, Mrs. Forney’s 6th grade World History class stepped straight into Ancient Greece for Greek Day! From everyday citizens to mighty gods and goddesses, the creativity was myth-level impressive. Huge thanks to our amazing guardians for helping make learning come alive.

Our Andrew County SRO Deputy Resler stopped by our classroom to read a special book from MoDOT’s Smart Riders program! After the story, students showed what they learned by taking a quiz! To top it all off, each student earned their very own Smart Rider’s License

Even though it’s cold outside ❄️, our building is full of warmth, curiosity, and learning! 🧡📚 Smiles, busy minds, and cozy classrooms make winter days at ACES pretty special.
