With this year’s concert theme of “So Very Thankful, Incredibly Grateful, Unbelievably Blessed,” Atlantic Christian School held it’s Elementary Spring Concert on Friday, May 14 and Upper School Spring Concert on Wednesday, May 19.
The Elementary Spring Concert featured instrumental and vocal selections from the 1st-3rd grade music classes and a performance by the 4th and 5th grade Elementary Band under the direction of Mr. Tim Rosie.
The Upper School Spring Program included performances from the Middle School Band and Middle School Choir under the direction of Mr. Tim Rosie; Drama Class directed by Mrs. Genevieve Huff; and Middle School and High School Worship Teams led by Mrs. Kelly Flynn.
As part of our Spring Art Show that coincided with the concerts, guests checked the student art on display at the school lobby. The different art projects, collected by Art Teacher, Mrs. Sherry Mirakian, showcased the students’ talents with the use of ordinary art materials with different art techniques.
The preschoolers in Mrs. Kelley’s PreK4 class got surprise thank-you gifts this week from the veterans with VFW Post 6650 in Ocean City — tubs of caramel corn from Johnson’s Popcorn in Ocean City.
Each student and the teachers received a tub of caramel corn as a thank-you from the veterans. The students in November had created special posters of appreciation for the veterans that were mailed to them ahead of Veterans Day.
Elementary Principal and Early Education Director Gail Alford said that due to the coronavirus pandemic, ACS could not hold its traditional Veterans Appreciation Chapel and invite area veterans to be honored at the chapel. “Instead of thanking them for their service in person, our preschool and elementary students wrote letters, created posters, and other craft projects that were sent to VFW and American Legion posts in the area,” Mrs. Alford said.
In a hand-written note, Post Commander Michael Morrisey wrote to the class: “Thank you for all of your support.”
Mrs. Kelley said she talked to her students about how showing kindness to others can often be returned back to you, like the saying — one good turn deserves another. “This was such a wonderful surprise and we are all excited to open our tubs and start enjoying some delicious caramel corn,” Mrs. Kelley said.

Excitement was in the air at the Middle School Science Fair on March 6 in the ACS gym. A team of judges reviewed 50 projects and chose the top three entries from the 6th, 7th and 8th grades.
“We are very proud of the efforts of all of the students,” said Middle School science teacher Celine Melody, who organized the fair along with middle school teachers Caitie Lee and Amy Parker. “It’s been a number of years since we held a Science Fair so this year was our relaunch,” Melody said. “We are looking forward to next year when we will have some of our students move on to participate in the Jersey Shore Science Fair at Stockton University. ”
In the 6th and 7th grades, students worked in teams, while 8th graders prepared individual projects. The science project counted towards the student’s science grade.
High science teacher Dave Genter, who was one of 10 judges, commended the students for doing an excellent job on their oral presentations to the judges. “The students showed that they are developing their thought processes and scientific skills and have a keen curiosity about the world around them,” Genter said.
Following are the students who received the top Science Fair awards:
6th Grade

ACS students in preschool and elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday this week as part of Read Across America – a national campaign that focuses on motivating children to be lifelong readers. On Monday, students wore crazy socks to school; 12th graders read Dr. Seuss books to elementary students on Tuesday; and for Wacky Wednesday, teachers, students, and staff dressed up in colorful, mismatched clothes, wigs, and hats. Students also celebrated their love of reading by eating green eggs and ham, listening to secret readers, and reading books showcased in the ACS school library.
