ACS presented the Atlantic City Rescue Mission with a check for $1,517 on March 9 from the proceeds of the February 4 Bowls of Hope Soup Cook-Off to help fund the Mission’s important work meeting the needs of the homeless in Atlantic City and surrounding communities. Accepting the check on behalf of the Rescue Mission were Pastor Bill Warner, Vice President of Biblical Education and Policy, and Sara Franklin, Chair of the Mission’s Board of Trustees.

The high school students who helped present the check are members of the Student Council who volunteered at the Bowls of Hope fundraiser. Also participating in the check presentation were Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen, Upper School Principal Meg McHale, and Event Coordinator Christian Delacruz. The Student Council members pictured in the photo are: Isabell Alford, Sophia Costello, Rebecca DiMaio, Zachary Fosbenner, Noah Gibbs, Caden Kim, Evangelina Kim, Autumn Loo, Alli Lushina, Ryleigh Martin, David O’Donnell, Haven Sanchez, Allison Schlundt, Nathan Stein, and Noelle Thompson.

In a separate presentation, Ms. Amy Williams’ 5th grade class was recognized for winning first place in the Bowls of Hope classroom fundraising contest, raising the most funds from ticket sales and sponsorships. The class received a pizza party as its prize.

Thank you to our students, school families, faculty and staff, and friends in the community for helping make our Bowls of Hope Soup Cook-Off a success.
