February Food Corps Update: Both 4th grade classes made homemade butter in a mason jar! Through this activity they were able to construct flavor profiles for their butter; such as Garlic Parmesan, Garden Herb, Cinnamon Sugar, or Salt and Pepper. The students enjoyed the homemade butter on Fresh French bread! Additionally, the Food Corps Lesson during February was about producers and decomposers. Students were able to identify the producers, consumers, and decomposers in a Supreme Pizza Recipe. Students made homemade pizza bagels to conclude the lesson! #alconaschools #foodcorps

It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.

🎓ACS Early College Spotlight: Today’s highlight features one of our current senior Early College students, Emily Samp. Emily is enrolled in the Industrial Technology Program at ACC. She enjoys taking classes in welding, CNC machining, and manufacturing. Emily is on the ACC Dean’s List and on their Skills USA Team, which is a chapter of the national organization that provides leadership and competition opportunities for America’s most highly skilled career and technical education students. Something unique about Emily is that she is a full-time college student, as well as a high school student. Typically Early College students are not enrolled full-time in college until their 5th year. Emily was proactive in planning ahead and taking college courses early; which will allow her to complete her associates degree next year through our Early College Program. Current ACS 10th graders can apply to EC by April 8th at: bit.ly/ACS-EC-App #alconaschools #earlycollege #applytoday
