ACS students participated in a variety of fun activities each day this week to promote school spirit, including Twin Day, Crazy Sock or Shoe Day, and Green-and-White Day. The 7th grade class and Mrs. McCarthy’s 3B class took top honors for the most participation in the Spirit Week activities and will receive special class parties.
On Thursday afternoon, students at an all-school pep rally cheered on our Varsity Baseball and Softball players before they faced off against Calvary Academy. Just before the start of the games, ACS Athletic Director Pam Hitchner held a ceremony to thank and honor the two seniors on the softball team and their parents for their contributions to the ACS athletic program. Senior Abigail Vogel is the starting shortstop and lead-off batter and has the highest batting average at .529. Senior Samantha Rhodes is a starting pitcher, with over 35 strikeouts, plays third base, and has 14 runs scored and 5 stolen bases. There are no senior players on this year’s baseball team. Both ACS teams won their games Thursday and are undefeated in the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference at this mid-point in the season. Come out next Monday and cheer on our Cougars to victory at their next home game.
