It is amazing to think that January will soon come to an end! ACS is thrilled to host the Compassion Summit this weekend, welcoming guest schools from the region. This comes on the heels of an exciting local tournament last weekend while another begins this weekend. Busy days at ACS.
We continue to investigate our drinking water on campus and have sent samples from each water fountain to two services for extensive testing. This requires 4 - 6 days for results so, we will continue to make bottled water available to children until we have received the results and determined next steps.

Compassion Summit Launch
We’re excited to share that we had an incredible launch to the Compassion Summit 2025 this afternoon! The energy in the room was amazing as our keynote speakers took the stage, inspiring us all with their powerful stories and insights.
Thank you to our keynote speakers, Evan Wesley and Sheila Ascencio, whose passion for compassion and leadership set the tone for what’s to come. Their words reminded us of the importance of taking action, leading with empathy, and making a difference in our communities.
This is just the beginning of an exciting weekend, and we can’t wait to see how our students, educators, and community members engage and grow throughout the summit.
