Warm weather is fast approaching. Soon people will be spending more time outdoors and nothing is more fun than riding a bike. Join us at our Environmental Carnival this Saturday (April 21st) from 1PM-4PM and you may be riding home on a new bike. We will be raffling off 2 bikes donated to us by Cycle for Change. Just imagine how nice it will feel riding down the road on your new bike, wind blowing through your hair. The carnival will also have plenty of food, games, prizes, face painting, and crafts. And if that wasn't exciting enough, Minneapolis Green Zones will be joining us with fun activities and information related to sustainable health in the local community. We can't wait to celebrate our Earth with you this Saturday!

The next election for ACS's school board will be held during 4th quarter conferences on Friday, May 11th from 7:00AM-6:00PM.

We know how important it is to encourage our students to read every day, yesterday our Executive Director, visited different classrooms and read stories to our kids.

Over this past summer, we have added a solar array to our roof thanks to the Made in MN Solar Lottery. The energy produced by these solar panels goes directly to the school and helps the environment! Big thanks to our partners at iDEAL ENERGIES and Xcel Energy and our building's owner, Bridgerail Properties, for helping us complete this project.
