We are excited to invite you to the Cougar Classic Golf Tournament and Social Mixer on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at Harbor Pines Golf Club in Egg Harbor Township! This annual event helps support the ACS Tuition Assistance Fund, making Christian education accessible to more families.

Two Ways to Participate:

Golf Tournament: The day begins at noon with registration and a buffet lunch, followed by a 1:00 p.m. shotgun start in a fun scramble format. Afterward, we’ll present golf awards and prizes to the winners.

Social Mixer & Silent Auction: If golfing isn’t your thing, join us from 6:00-8:30 p.m. for the Social Mixer. This event is open to all ACS parents, staff, alumni, and friends and will feature food, music, fellowship, and a Silent Auction with both in-person and remote bidding. Plus, we’ll be presenting the Servant’s Heart Awards to honor exceptional ACS volunteers.

Event Details:

Golf: $165 per golfer or $625 for a foursome (includes lunch, tournament entry, and prizes)

Social Mixer: $100 per ticket, which includes access to food, music, and the Silent Auction.

Class Silent Auction Parent Donations Due April 14

We are asking Early Education through 8th grade parents to help us build large, themed gift baskets for the Silent Auction by donating new items that match your child’s class basket theme. All donations are due by Monday, April 14. A flyer with each grade’s theme is included below—please use it as a guide while shopping.

High School Parent: If you would still like to support the Silent Auction, we would love your help too! You can donate individual items, gift cards, experiences, or themed baskets that will be included in the auction. Every donation helps make this event a success.

We are also looking for volunteers to help us reach out to local businesses to request donated items or gift certificates for the auction or to help us put together the baskets. If you’d like to volunteer or donate, please contact PJ Santos at psantos@acseht.org.

Our Cougar Classic on Wednesday, May 1 is more than just a golf event—it’s a special evening for the ACS community to come together for the Social Mixer and Silent Auction at the Harbor Pines Golf Club in Egg Harbor Township. Parents, family members, and friends are invited to join us after the tournament for this fun and meaningful time of fellowship and fundraising.

Road to Early Education Center Re-Named Hudson Way

Atlantic Christian School is happy to announce the Annual re-naming of the road leading to the Early Education Complex — Hudson Way. This road was named thanks to the generosity of current family, the Dingmanns, who won this privilege at the Silent Auction during the 2024 Cougar Classic. They chose to honor their son, Hudson Dingmann, a current 7th grader, by naming the road after him.

Hudson is very involved at ACS including the Drama Club, the Student Ambassador program, and earned Highest Honors last year.

The opportunity to name this road will be available again in the Spring of 2025 at the Cougar Classic Silent Auction. It’s a wonderful chance to honor someone special while supporting the school’s mission.

Mark Your Calendar for February 1 Bowls of Hope Soup Cook-Off Benefit

Mark your calendar for the 7th ACS Bowls of Hope Soup Cook-Off Benefit to be held on Saturday, February 1, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the school gym.

For one ticket price, those attending will have the opportunity to sample the soups and vote for their favorite. The canned food drive will kick off next week and continue through the night of the Bowls of Hope to benefit the Community FoodBank.

Tickets and Event Sponsorships will be available for purchase starting on Friday, January 10, in the ACS school office, from any ACS high school student, or online. Tickets will also be sold at the door that night.

Bowls of Hope Silent Auction to Feature Themed Classroom Gift Baskets

The Bowls of Hope Soup-Tasting Benefit on February 2 will include a Silent Auction and each classroom from PreK4 to the 8th grade is being asked to collect items for a gift basket that has a specific theme. Flyers were sent home this week asking families to donate an item fitting the theme for their class basket, such as “Super Bowl Party,” “Baker’s Delight,” “Family Game Night,” and more.

The collection deadline for all Silent Auction baskets is Friday, January 25. Parents who are interested in donating a basket or item from their home consulting businesses (such as Avon, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, etc.) should contact Event Coordinator Jessica Martin at 609-653-1199, ext. 314 or jmartin@acseht.org. We are happy to take those donations along with some of your business literature to have available at the Silent Auction.
