We are temporarily out of boxes of candy bars, but we should have more in on Thursday for Spring Break sales. If you currently have boxes or money out, it would be great if we could get those sold and money turned in by Friday, March 11. This would give us a better idea if the additional boxes we ordered will meet our sales goal. Happy selling! Thank you for your support of this fundraiser.

Hi! My name is Valerie McDonald! As a 2004 graduate of ACHS, I am honored to give back to a school that helped prepare me for a future career. I still have a journal from Mrs. Sharon Ross’s 3rd grade class where I declared I would be a teacher one day! I was a teacher via homeschooling for 10 years, and this experience of small group and individualized instruction will be my guide as I serve as an interventionist for the students at ACES. I am blessed to be the mother of three children and a caregiver for my grandmother. I am looking forward to a great school year!
