During the 2021-2022 school year, ACA board member Josh Montgomery began applying for Federal Communications Commission Emergency Connectivity Funding (ECF) to purchase new technology for the school. Through two separate rounds of funding, ACA was approved for $37,347. So far this school year, these funds have been used to purchase 60 chromebooks for students to use while at school. ACA now proudly has a one-to-one student device ratio, which allows students to participate in many of the online supplemental programs that have been implemented this school year. There are still funds available to buy an additional 35 chromebooks to replace older devices currently at school. After replacing the older devices in the coming weeks, preschool-6th grade students will all have a touch screen Chromebook, providing a better user experience. ACA is so grateful for the hard work put toward meeting our school’s technology needs. 

ACA's Fall Festival this year was an incredible success! We had a huge turnout from the community and the kids had an absolute blast with the games, horse rides, hay ride, face painting and soaking Mr. Johnson! Jackson County Cattlemen's Association so generously cooked the food for our event. We had thousands of dollars worth of items donated for the auction which raised a lot of money for new building renovations. These renovations will provide more classroom space for new students, and create a new student library space. We are so thankful for everyone who contributed to this event!

The Ragan Reece Memorial Playground is nearing completion and a dedication program is planned for early October 2022 in honor of Ragan's birthday.

We had a wonderful group of parent volunteers work tirelessly through the Jackson County Fair weekend, raising money for our upcoming student library renovation!

Wow- what a fun and hot day! Volunteers worked super hard on creating an amazing booth with tons of great food! ACA also took home top prize of best float in the parade!
