Parents and Guardians,
Students riding bus 175 will arrive home later than usual today.
Each month, we have a Capturing Kids’ Hearts word of the month that we focus on teaching throughout the school. As part of our CKH process, we recognize students in each grade level who are doing an exceptional job with showing the CKH character traits. A big shout out goes to the students who earned recognition for showing Responsibility and Respect! Each student recognized received a CKH sign to be proudly displayed in their yard at home. Way to go! We’re so proud of you!
School starts back tomorrow. The Strickland Bridge (near Hwy. 72) will be closed for repairs for the next couple of weeks. Car riders will need to make some adjustments. Buses may have to adjust their times as well. Sorry for the inconvenience, but glad to have the bridge repaired! WE ARE AC!
NOTE: BUS 196 will be leaving campus a little later today. It will be closer to 3:30 before the bus leaves campus, so please be aware your children will arrive home later than usual if they ride Bus 196.
This week we have a guest reader for Bedtime Books! Mrs. Angela is reading Good Dogs, Great Listeners. This story is based on a true story about a little girl from Sandy Hook Elementary and her dog. Kindness is our CKH word for February, and this is a great story about showing kindness to animals. Watch all the way to the end for some bloopers!

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."
-Abraham Lincoln
Reminder: Monday, February 20, 2023 is a professional development day for teachers. Students will not attend in observance of Presidents' Day. Have a fabulous three day weekend.
Also, our Lady Bears basketball team is headed to Noxubee County tonight for Round 2 of the playoffs! Good luck! Go Bears! We are AC!
Don't forget about our two pre-k and kindergarten registration days coming up! Early registration is very important to ensure a spot and helps us take care of classroom needs in a timely manner.
Due to the threat of inclement weather, the 21st Century extended day tutoring program is canceled for all AC campuses for Thurs., Feb. 16. Mrs. Jeannie's after school daycare is also canceled today.
Today is National School Resource Officer Day! We can't say enough about Officer Darrell Bullard. He greets our students and staff members by name with a welcoming smile. It is a blessing to know that he not only looks out for our safety but genuinely loves being at AC! Shout him out below!

Our CKH word for the month of February is kindness. You can encourage kindness by discussing the little acts of kindness your child can show at home, school, or in the community. In the comments below, we would love for you to drop some Random Acts of Kindness ideas that children can do or that you and your children have done.
If your child is participating in the mini dance camp, please have them in the High School Auditorium by 6:15 pm tonight. They will be performing during halftime of the girls game. Thank you.
Parents, due to the weather, the candy bars for our fundraiser have not arrived at the school. We will send out a message when they are available for pick up. Information about the fundraiser was sent home Tuesday. If you did not receive the information sheet, please contact your child’s teacher. We thank you for helping us raise money for our school through this fundraiser.
