All ACDS families and their children are welcome to attend this casual food truck event on the ACDS Blacktop. ACDS will provide the music, and families should bring lawn chairs, picnic mats, and dancing shoes. The food trucks will accept credit cards and cash. Please RSVP so we can reserve the appropriate number of food trucks for this community event.

Optional: From 7-7:30PM, artwork may be picked up; otherwise, art can also be collected on Monday or Tuesday at the Art Studio (Room 2).

 

Summer Camp Booths from 5-7PM:

  • ACDS Summer Camp leaders will be representing their respective camps on the blacktop in scheduled rotations. Come on by and learn more! Ask questions about camp curricula, what to expect, and plan to join the fun.

Spring Book Fair - WE DID IT!

Thanks to the wonderful ACDS community, the spring book fair was a HUGE success! Students were so excited to purchase books and see the new library space, and we surpassed our book fair goal by 40%! This event would not have been possible without the book fair co-chairs, Jennifer Billante (Leo 8th, Annabella 6th) and Kelly Richards (Ethan 6th, Karis 3rd), and the wonderful parents who signed up to volunteer for the event.


THANK YOU

Thank you to our parent volunteers for their assistance with COVID testing prep and the facilitation of the testing each week. We appreciate you!
