From jewelry and neckties for mom and dad to stuffed animals and toys for siblings and friends, students in PreK4 through 5th Grade loaded their bags with gifts for those they love at the ACS 3rd annual Li’l Christmas Shopper Days on December 7 and 8. The smiles on their faces were happy reminders of Jesus’ words, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

The event raised almost $1,800 to support the school’s mission and facilitate community outreach. In partnership with the Family Services Association, ACS is using a portion of the funds to purchase gifts for a local family of six. Thank you to all the parents who helped students fill out their shopping lists and especially to those who volunteered time at the sale to help students shop.
