ACS 12th grader Aaron Glancey is organizing a Middle School Boys Over-Nighter on March 25 at the Ocean City Tabernacle — an event he has chosen to be his Senior Project as part of a year-long Senior Project Class. Aaron announced the event during Upper School Chapel on March 10 and has distributed flyers this week about the over-nighter to ACS middle school boys.
Aaron said the over-nighter is open to middle school boys at ACS and in the community, and he is busy spreading the word about the event to area churches and on social media. Aaron chose to organize this special event for middle school boys because he attended a similar event when he was in 8th grade and remembered the positive impact it had on his life. Fellow senior, Quinn Schrag, is leading worship at the over-nighter as part of his Senior Project.
The over-nighter will be held from 6:30 p.m. on Friday, March 25 to 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 26 and there is a $20 registration fee. The evening will include games, refreshments, live worship music, and small group break-out sessions. Aaron and Quinn will lead some of the small group sessions, joined by several adult leaders from area churches.
The Senior Project class is facilitated by faculty member Linda Stiteler. Stiteler said that other students are working a variety of Senior Projects, all with a community service focus and utilizing their individual gifts and talents. Joshua Schlundt is building a bench to install in Birch Grove Park in Northfield. Mia Liggins is using her talents as a photographer on a project for St. Vincent’s School in Mays Landing. Devin Tridente, a member of the ACS Championship Varsity Basketball team, is organizing an outdoor basketball clinic at ACS in April.
“It’s a very valuable learning and growing experience for our seniors to be responsible for coming up with a unique project and creating it from start to finish,” Stiteler said. She said writing a letter of intent, writing a research or reflection paper, and doing an oral presentation to the class are also required elements for every project.
