FESTIVAL…On Saturday morning, August 28, over 1400 stalwart runners met at Athens Christian School for the running of the 7th annual Northeast Georgia (All Classification) Cross-country Championships.

            ACS junior, Destiny Jenkins, won the girls race and led her teammates to the Girls Championship.  Our Boys team placed second to North Hall by a slim 3 point margin. 

            Our middle school girls coached by Cayla Redish won their division.  The boys placed second.

            The meet was directed by veteran ACS track and cross-country coach, Tim Cummings, who described this massive and talented pool of runners as a cross-country “festival.”

GRANDMOTHER… The following is a portion of a note received recently from an ACS grandmother.  “Thank you for keeping your watchful eye on my grandson.  We feel so blessed that he can be in such a wonderful environment.  We pray every day that God will continue to bless Athens Christian and all the teachers and students.” 

Our thanks go out to this precious grandmother, and we thank her for her daily prayers for ACS.

And, for the many people who pray for the school, we send our heartfelt thanks to you…. We’re happy to say, “the Lord is answering your prayers.”

What a great first week of school at Athens Christian School.  The teachers were ready and the students came back excited.  The many new students are already fitting right in. 

Our teams are practicing, with the coaches giving them plenty of water breaks.  The youth football (ages 5-12) is also underway. 

We sometimes call ACS “the opportunity place”.  If you want your children to be in a school with strong academics, many opportunities in athletics, cheerleading, music, and drama, all in a caring Christian atmosphere, ACS is the place for you.

THE VOYAGE…”They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters…” (Psalm 107:23).  Athens Christian School will be launching out on its 41st  annual voyage on the sea of education on August 16.  We will be doing business in the great waters of the sea of life.
 
A well-trained crew of 75 faculty and staff await over 750 stalwart passengers in K-3 through 12th grade.  Their precious parents have entrusted them to ACS to help “train them in the way they should go” (Proverbs 22:6).

We have room on board for a few more passengers.  Call today for a reservation.
