The Varsity Girls’ softball field and the Middle School baseball field recently got facelifts with the addition of new infield dirt, made possible by donations from the Parent-Teacher Fellowship and ACS parents Charlie and Amanda Costello.

PTF President Terry Vogel said proceeds from fundraisers throughout the year, including the sale of ACS hoodies, pretzels, popcorn, Shoprite Gift Cards, and BoxTops for Education, make it possible to support the school and address areas of need.

The PTF donated close to $2,000 for the purchase of infield dirt for the Varsity Girls’ softball field. The Costello’s donation of nearly $1,000  was used to purchase infield dirt for the Middle School Boys’ baseball field. Charlie Costello is the Middle School Boys’ Baseball Coach.

“We are very grateful for the way our parents give so generously to support our school, and especially our athletic programs,” said Athletic Director Pam Hitchner. “God has blessed our school with beautiful outdoor fields for our students to use, and we are committed to maintaining these facilities in excellent condition. These donations help support that goal.”
