As part of their ecosystem restoration project, 5th grade students studied the importance of the relationship between pollinators and flowering plants in order to choose native species that would be planted back into our school forest. They worked in art class to create 3 D models of a plant that fit certain pollinator criteria.
3rd grade students worked as a team to plant the agriscience hoop house with carrots, lettuce, beets, spinach and radishes for a spring harvest. This great season extender will help us harvest our own fresh food.
Good luck to our Boys Varsity Basketball as they travel to Tawas to play Johannesburg at 6pm for Districts!

🎓Drumroll please! This March we are kicking off our Early College promotion! Did you know that ACS has an Early College (EC) Program? Today we will be kicking off our EC campaign with Mrs. Cordes, our EC Coordinator. From now until April 11th (when EC applications are due from 10th grade students) we will be highlighting our program, student accomplishments, college resources available to our students, and more! Today's feature is the introduction of Mrs. Cordes, our EC Coordinator! Did you know that ACS has a partnership with Alpena Community College that allows our EC Coordinator to have an office at the ACC campus in Alpena? Every Wednesday Mrs. Cordes can be found in her ACC office, room 110A in the Newport Center. Being on campus allows Mrs. Cordes to better support and meet with our full-time college students. This week when Mrs. Cordes was on campus, she ran into two of our 5th year EC students studying in the library and two of our past EC students studying!
