Three New Cafeteria Tables Gifted to ACS, Now Installed in Lunchroom

Students are enjoying lunch on three new cafeteria tables that were installed in the Multi-Purpose Room on November 12. The 12-foot-long tables were purchased using gifts from several donors, including the Parent-Teacher Fellowship (PTF) and Mrs. Sandra O’Brien, an ACS Elementary Teacher’s Aide and alumni parent.

“We are very grateful for the donations we received this fall that enabled us to purchase these new cafeteria tables, which have been on our wish list for some time,” said Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen.  Oblen said the new tables made by National Public Seating, which each cost about $1,100, replaced three tables that were at least 25 years old and were very difficult to lift, move, and store as facilities staff did their daily cleaning in the lunchroom.

PTF President Terry Vogel said the funds the PTF donated came from last year’s fundraisers, including the Philly Pretzel Mondays, the Harvest Day Hot Diggity Dog Day, the Box Tops for Education program, ShopRite gift cards, and the sale of ACS Spiritwear sweatshirts, water bottles, and tote bags.  “It’s important for our school family to know that when they participate in one of our fundraisers they are really giving back to the school and making this kind of donation possible,” Vogel said.

PTF Board members and volunteers and Mrs. O’Brien gathered in the Multi-Purpose Room on November 19 to examine the new tables. Pictured in the photo seated on the tables are: Virginia Benson, Amanda Costello, Carson Costello, Holly Dawkins, Polly Ellison, Erin Gibbs, Sandra O’Brien, and Terry Vogel.

Box Tops Goes Digital, Use Mobile App to Earn Cash for ACS

No more clipping those Box Tops to earn cash for ACS. The Box Tops for Education program has gone digital. Download the “Box Tops for Education” app on your mobile phone, register, and select Atlantic Christian School.  Then just start scanning your grocery store receipts.

If your receipt contains a Box Tops product, the app will record that product and automatically add Box Tops or our school’s earnings online. ACS will earn 10 cents for each Box Tops product purchased. The app will automatically add Box Tops to our school’s earnings online. 

Please note that Box Tops will continue to honor all physical clips until they reach their expiration dates so you can keep clipping regular Box Tops and sending them in to the school as long as you continue to find them on packages.  Box Tops will also allow double dipping during the transition period — so you can clip the physical Box Tops AND scan your receipt. A few brands may not be participating in the double dip. The app will give you a message that they are “clip only” in
