Raise the Woof! Wednesday, January 18, we will celebrate 101 days of school. That’s right! Instead of celebrating and dressing in old people costumes on the 100th day, we’re changing it up a bit. (Your child may wear a 100th day shirt on Tuesday; however, we are not dressing up as we usually do). On Wednesday, we want everyone to dress up as a dalmation or wear black and white clothes for a 101 Dalmations themed celebration. There will be one special person dressed as Cruella de Vil, and we want the rest of the campus to dress as dalmations/black and white to see how many dalmations this Cruella/school has.

5. Unless it is an emergency, all transportation changes should be made by 2:00 pm each day to ensure that everyone is notified in a timely matter.

This is a past favorite of everyone that you don't want to miss. My son, Cole, was my guest, and he helped the book come to life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being chosen as Teacher of the Year at Alcorn Central Elementary School. I was in shock when I heard my name read aloud over the intercom. Truthfully, it’s actually something that I told myself years ago that I’d strive for. I decided to become a teacher to make a positive impact in each and every student’s life and to love them like they’re my own. I am truly blessed to teach at ACES and to also have such a wonderful work family that loves and supports one another.
Teacher of the Year, Hilary Plunk
