 Dear ACS Community,

This week is Thanksgiving week, and it causes us to pause and reflect on all that we are thankful for.  I hope that we can all use this time to thank those around us who have a positive impact on our lives. 

Thinking back to last week, I'm thankful to Ms. Anna for organizing the secondary school recital and for all the parents and students who supported the event.  

This week, I'm thankful for Ms. Elba and her team of coaches and chaperones.  They are with the high-school students at friendship games in Santa Cruz.  

I'm also thankful for the whole ACS community, especially the dedicated faculty and staff at ACS who educate and nourish our children.  

Finally, don't forget to sign up for the Homecoming activities on the weekend of the 6th and 7th of December.  It promises to be an exciting event.

Have a great short week ahead and a wonderful Thanksgiving break.  

Yours,

Andrew
