A HUGE Thank You to our ACA Bulldog Parent Committee for organizing and hosting our first ever K-4 Spring Carnival. Our Bulldog Parent Committee meets monthly to come up with new and unique ways to build community within our ACA families and to also fundraise for the school.

At the beginning of the year, the group met and really felt a pull to create events that would help build community. After the last 2 years of dealing with distance learning and the effects of the pandemic, our Bulldog Parents knew building community would be so important moving forward.

Some of the great successes of our Bulldog Parent Committee this year include the Penguin Patch Holiday Shop, Valentine Grams for Middle Schoolers and then of course our awesome K-4 Spring Carnival. In the past, our parent group hosted mother/son dances and father/daughter dances and they are looking forward to being able to bring more events like that back in the coming school year.
