HEADMASTER'S CORNER

CHAMPIONS… Congratulations to the ACS boys and girls track and field teams, both of whom won the tough Region 8-A championships held in Jefferson recently.  This marked the fourth straight for the boys and 2 out of the past 3 for the girls.  They now advance to compete for the state title.  These fine young men and women and their coaches worked very hard this spring, and they were all quite thrilled to come out on top. We are thankful for the opportunity to work with parents in training hundreds of students in mind, manners, and morals.  We are also thankful that we can offer many extra-curricular activities in athletics,  music, speech and art.

“MUSIC MAN” … The ACS Classic Players will present the well-known musical comedy, “The Music Man”, on Saturday, April 19, and Tuesday, April 22, at the ACS Drama Center.  Curtain goes up at 8:00 p.m. Over 100 ACS students are involved in the production.  This musical is a major extravaganza for the entire family.  You are invited to call the school office at (706) 549-7586 for reservations.  Opportunities for music and drama instruction for all ages are just a part of the educational package at ACS.  We are now enrolling for the Fall term.

BASEBALL… We sometimes call it “America’s Game”.  It is a great sport in the Spring for ACS High School and Middle School players.  Our teams are doing well and they are well-coached.Varsity pitcher, Clint Ogle, was a recent “Northeast Georgia Player of the Week” for his 12-strikeout 1-hit performance in a recent 3-0 win over a Region foe.  In all our   athletic teams, both boys and girls, we endeavor to develop Christian character along with their athletic training.  ACS is a school where your child can receive a great education and enjoy any number of extra-curricular activities.

HE LIVES… The dust of the centuries blows over the graves of the founders of the humanistic religions of the world.  But, Hallelujah!  Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, lives; He is victorious over death.  The empty tomb and the testimony of many witnesses proves it.  You ask me how I know that He lives; He lives within my heart.  He has gone to prepare a place for those who trust Him, love Him, and look for His return.

Easter blessings to you and your loved ones from Athens Christian School.  For information, please call the school at (706) 549-7586.   

SPRING SPORTS… I took a little walk after school the other day to take a look at spring sports practice.  I was a little bit shocked.  It looked like no one in the Middle School or High School had gone home.  My eyes beheld:  Varsity and Middle School baseball teams; boys and girls Varsity and Middle School track and field; and boys and girls tennis.  I’m so glad we can offer all of these activities, and all of them well-coached.  You have a special invitation to come and visit ACS and take a guided tour of our modern facilities. 

CHAMPION … It was an awesome sight to behold. 10,000 wrestling fans at the spacious Gwinnett Arena in Duluth on Saturday, February 21. All five divisions of Georgia High School Association wrestling vying for the team and individual championships. Congratulations to ACS senior, Ryan Smith, who defended his heavyweight classifications state crown and is now a two-time champion. He led his team to a fifth place finish in the Class A division. A large crowd from ACS witnessed Ryan pin his opponent from Jefferson in less than two minutes into the match. Quite a feat! Ryan, you are a true champion, with a humble spirit and fine example of Christian sportsmanship. God bless you.

CHOICE … This is the season of choices. The American people will be making very important choices leading up to and including the presidential election in November. Our military commanders are making good choices as evidenced by the continued success of “the surge” in . Someone has wisely said that life is largely made up of the choices we make. Athens Christian School can be a great choice for your children’s education featuring top quality education in an atmosphere of caring concern for each child. Of course the greatest choice in life is choosing the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour.
