A Note from the Elementary Office
ACES Families-
The Thanksgiving holiday fills us with gratitude lofts us forward into the Christmas season with hearts full of blessings, especially here at AC Elementary. We can't thank you enough for choosing Adams Central Elementary School as our child's school. It is our honor to partner with you in your child's education and growing up years.
This month is full of celebrations and activities. Please check out the list of events and times listed below.
Mrs. Mary McCullough

You can send them to Mrs. King to help her make sure our students are prepared for JET FRIDAYS.

Thanks for your support with the Feed My Starving Children $20 in 20 Days fundraiser. An amazing $19,412.65 was raised.

WINTER WEATHER ☃️
It's time to bundle up for the winter! It's all about layers- a cozy coat, gloves, a hat, and warm boots. Making sure elementary students are dressed right keeps them comfy and focused on fun and exercise instead of the temperature and discomfort of feeling chilly. Please let Mrs. Rhymer know if your child needs a coat. We have some available. rhymers@accs.k12.in.us
