"Pre-K is bringing stories to life! After reading The Little Red Hen together, we turned our classroom into a bakery with some very special friends.
🚒✨ We learned the power of teamwork, just like the hen taught us. When they asked, 'Not I!' didn't slow us down! 🌾❤️ We ground the wheat, mixed the dough, and watched it rise.
The best part? Tasting the warm, fresh bread we all made together. A huge thank you to our local heroes for making reading so delicious!
Our 4th and 5th Grade Book Club did an incredible job hosting an all-school Book Swap, and what a success it was! From the youngest readers to our oldest students, everyone had the chance to discover a “new-to-them” book and share the joy of reading.
Tables were filled, smiles were everywhere, and the excitement of finding that just right book was contagious. 💛
A big shoutout to our Book Club members for their leadership, organization, and love of literacy—you made this event something special for our entire school community!
Because at ACES… readers are leaders. 📖✨
The ACES StuCo sold out of their Eggstravaganza eggs today, & thus will not be selling more. Thank you to all who purchased!

Throwback Thursday: 1973! 📻✌️
Bell bottoms were in style, music was playing on the record player, and students were learning the basics that still matter today. While a lot has changed since 1973, one thing hasn’t—schools bringing communities together and helping students grow.
ACES is ALL IN for our State Archers! 🎯💚
Today we sent off 12 incredible students as they head to the State Archery Competition, and the entire school showed up to cheer them on!
Aim High. Let It Fly. 🏹✨
Good luck at STATE—we’re behind you all the way! 💚🎯
There’s something special about being an educator—no matter how much time passes, they’re always your kids. 💙 While attending the Missouri Association of School Administrators statewide conference, I had the sweetest surprise when a former student reached out. Kyle, it truly meant so much to see you and catch up. Moments like that are the heart of what we do. Once an ACE, always an ACE!! 💛

Our halls were bursting with glitter, green, and a little leprechaun mischief as we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day! From shamrocks to smiles, it was a day filled with laughter, magic, and maybe even a hint of gold at the end of the rainbow 🌈🍀
