Our day of running, cheering, and fall fun activities was a wonderful reminder of what our school community can accomplish together. On Friday, October 30, ACS students, staff, and families came together for Race for Education and Harvest Day—and thanks to your generosity, we surpassed our $55,000 goal, raising $57,116!

We praise God for His provision and for the generosity of 652 total donors! We also gratefully recognize our 28 Event Sponsors and 39 Class Sponsors for their support. Thank you to every volunteer, teacher, and family who helped make the day a success. Whether you gave, encouraged a student, or helped behind the scenes, you played a part in supporting Christian education at ACS.

Funds raised support the school’s Annual Fund, which helps provide tuition assistance and sustain the everyday programs and resources that help our students learn and grow. Your generosity helps make an ACS education possible for more families while supporting our mission to impact lives for Christ.

Congratulations to Our Prize Winners!
