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

🎓ACS Early College Spotlight: Only 25 days left for our current 10th graders to apply for Early College! Today’s highlight is ACC’s Van Lare Hall, which underwent an $8.7 million renovation in 2022. ACC’s admissions, nursing program, student success/tutoring center, and more is housed at Van Lare Hall. When 9th graders tour ACC annually they are able to tour the nursing program where they can test their skills in the nursing lab by listening to the lungs and checking the heart rate on a simulation mannequin. Current ACS 10th graders can apply to EC by April 8th at: bit.ly/ACS-EC-App #alconaschools #earlycollege #applytoday
