Our 5th grade students spent the day stepping back in time! They visited the Patee House Museum, Pony School, & Pony Express Museum to learn about our region’s history. Hands-on learning & exploring these historic sites helped bring classroom lessons to life.

Students participated in Outdoor Classroom Day, a global event that celebrates learning outside the traditional classroom. During the day, students explored nature by identifying different types of leaves, discovering examples of biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) materials, and observing the world around them. They enjoyed hands-on learning, fresh air, and time to appreciate the environment while connecting what they’ve learned in science to the outdoors.

ACES High Flyers Alert!
Yesterday, we celebrated three students who truly soared with our character trait of the month — RESPONSIBILITY!
Being responsible at ACES means:
• Taking ownership of your actions
• Completing work on time and doing your best
• Being prepared and ready to learn
• Treating others and our school with care
• Doing the right thing… even when no one is watching
We are so proud of our High Flyers who consistently show these qualities in their classrooms and around our school every day. 🌟

🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ The ACES staff has Superhero Powers all year long! 💪
Usually, you don’t get to see their capes—but on the day of Halloween, those powers are truly put to the test! 🎃👻
Thank you to our amazing team for keeping the magic (and the candy) under control today! 🍬✨

🎃🚒 While you’re out Trick-or-Treating , make a stop at Station 4 anytime from 5:30-8:00 PM.
Our firefighters (a.k.a. the bravest dragon tamers in town) will be handing out treats and sharing a few fire safety tips — because even breathing dragons need to stay safe around flames! 🔥🐉🍬

Stay safe, have fun, and remember: stop, drop, and roll (but not for candy)! 😄

We are so proud of our middle school student, who auditioned and earned a role in the community theater production of *“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!”*

This classic story reminds us that sometimes the most unexpected people can teach us the greatest lessons. As the play says:
**“It was the best Christmas pageant ever—maybe the best Christmas ever—because it came straight from the heart.”** ❤️

Congratulations, Your ACES family is cheering you on both on and off the stage!
