Over 1,000 ACS families and friends turned out for our first One Christmas Night Festival on December 3 — a heart-warming, joy-filled way to kick off the Christmas season. Thank you for coming and making our One Christmas Night a success! There were a variety of fun activities for adults and children alike to experience, including a live nativity, tractor-pulled hayride, pony rides, a petting zoo, inflatables, Christmas craft making, face painting, Christmas Story Time, and outdoor Christmas movies.

Students from elementary to high school entertained festival-goers with lively band and vocal performances of favorite Christmas songs. There were performances in the gym by the 4th and 5th Grade Bands, the Middle School Band, and the High School Instrumental Ensemble, all under the direction of Band Director Tim Rosie. The Middle School and High School Worship Teams, led by staff member Kelly Flynn, presented 15-minute performances throughout the evening of popular Christmas carols on an outdoor stage in front of the main school building.

We loved seeing all the smiles and watching families come together to warm up near the fire pits or roast marshmallows to make S’mores. There were also opportunities to do some Christmas shopping at the local merchant booths and get some tasty food, hot chocolate, and desserts provided by Stir It Up catering, our Parent Teacher Fellowship, and Chef Steve’s Popcorn.

Hope to see you there next year!
