Hello ACE families,
Did you attend the Spring Recital and Academy Ball on Friday? Wasn’t it fabulous!! The Recital is always such a wonderful display of student talent, and our students did not disappoint us. In addition, the Royal Academy Ball was lovely from start to finish. A big thank you to all the participants at both events.
Please don’t forget to share your photos with us- Recital, Ball, classroom activities, field trips, etc:drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XPvIs6BoiUh2T1lcgQ1R5XDvbiYNE_7h?usp=sharing

Character Fair Info.
It’s time to start working on your Character Fair projects! Student medals will be ordered soon, and we need to be sure we have the correct trait for your child. Let your AD know if you have any changes to the character trait your child has chosen. Students will be presenting their projects to their classmates in June. Students will then display their projects at the Year End program for all students, parents, and guests to view.
