Nov 10, 2025
Hello ACE families,
As a reminder, school will be closed on Tuesday, November 11 for Veterans Day. Students will not need to complete the in-class work from Tuesday. Instead, please use the day to do regular HLAs or complete missing work.
Donation Drive/Team Game
We are holding our annual Donation Drive House team competition. Each donated item earns a point for your team. Drop off canned foods or personal hygiene items in the boxes located across from the office. We are making the donations available to ACE families suffering due to the shutdown and/or reduction of food benefits. Families will be able to access the food supply in the school’s kitchen on Week 9. The donation drive will run through Week 12. After that, any remaining items will be donated to Community Sharing in Cottage Grove.
