Last week, twelve ACS high school students attended ACSI’s Leadership Conference called “Re:Purpose” in Washington, D.C. Our students worshipped and learned with close to 1,000 other student leaders from Christian Schools along the Eastern Seaboard. The students learned from 8 different speakers on topics about God’s purpose as it relates to identity, learning, service, work and beauty and how it applies to the students’ present situations as well as their future. They also had an excursion to the Holocaust Museum in D.C.

Each night there were group discussions about how the day’s lessons spoke to them and how to bring these themes back to Atlantic Christian. They have started the process of implementing some of these ideas into the school already. We look forward to seeing how these students lead our student body in the rest of this school year. It was such a great experience, some of the Seniors wish they could attend next year’s conference!

MS/HS Spanish Teacher Mrs. Dena Johnson gave her honors Spanish class students a cooking video project where they will have to teach how to cook a dessert dish using only the Spanish language.

The goals of the project are: to practice giving instructions, appropriate use of commands, and to practice and expand use of numbers, fractions and measurements in Spanish.

Dressed in full chef’s gear and with the help of her husband, Rob, Mrs. Johnson demonstrated how it should be done by cooking Tiramisu in class.  The class really enjoyed the presentation and Mrs. Johnson introduced the project in a fun and engaging way.
