One Christmas Night Christmas Celebration — Two Weeks Away on Friday, Dec. 2 — Tickets on Sale for Activities

Our festive “One Christmas Night” event is just two weeks away — on Friday, December 2, from 5:00-8:30 p.m. You don’t want to miss this special event for ACS students, their families, faculty, and staff as we come together to celebrate the joy and hope of Christmas. There will be performances by our bands and worship teams, a live nativity, and lots of fun indoor and outdoor activities, some of which will require tickets that can be pre-purchased in the school office or at the event.

New activities will include a magic show, a balloon twister, and a Christmas Bazaar with 23 vendors selling Christmas crafts and other holiday items.  There will also be photo opportunities with Olaf and some of the other endearing characters from “Frozen” and a place to pose for a family portrait.

Tickets will be needed for eight different activities — the magic show, the balloon twister, inflatables, the hayride, the pony ride, the petting zoo, face painting, and Christmas arts and crafts. Tickets prices are $2 per ticket and $14 for a pack of 8 tickets. Flyers were sent home with students from PreK-6th grade that included a ticket order form for pre-orders.

Delicious food will be available for sale from several vendors, including the Stir It Up Restaurant in Egg Harbor Township and the Root Cellar Tavern in Dorothy.  There will also be fire pits where you can enjoy making s’mores. The Varsity Girls’ Basketball Team plans to sell s’mores kits as a fundraiser and the Cheer Team will be selling baked goods and doing a candy buffet bar.

“We invite all of our parents, students, and staff to come out to celebrate the birth of our Savior and participate in the many fun activities we have planned,” said Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen. “Last year, about 1,000 people attended and we expect even more this year.  It’s a great way to kick off the Christmas season.”
