Congratulations to several ACS students who received awards on December 17 for their accomplishments as Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. ACS is the charter organization that sponsors both Cub Pack 389 and Boy Scout Troop 389, which meet Monday nights at ACS. Cubmaster and ACS parent Carrie Jorgenson recognized 3rd graders Gabriel Capito and Billy Winkel for completing their requirements to advance to the rank of Bear. Each boy also received a kit to build a Pinewood Derby racing car in preparation for an upcoming race in February.
Boy Scout leader and ACS parent Randy Guevara recognized three ACS students for completing various skills to advance in their Boy Scout ranking. 10th grader Matthew Dietrich has achieved the rank of 1st Class, 9th grader Joshua Guevara has advanced to Life Scout, one step away from Eagle Scout, and 6th grader Jayden Sanchez has advanced to the rank of Scout. Scoutmaster and ACS parent Mike Jorgenson said the troop is looking forward to participating in the Klondike Derby in January, an outdoor winter skills competition, and in the Scout Show and Pinewood Derby in February and March.
