1953.
It
was
originally
called Arongen. The
three middle schools buildings are attached and share core
areas such as gym, libraries, etc., however, they function as
separate schools.

More than
80 students from Acadia's team 7-2 participated in a camp in
to raise money for the Clinton-Bush Haiti Relief Fund.
Each student was required to donate $5.00 of their own
money, and then ask their family and friends to match their
donation. The event raised $3,000 for the fund. The goal was
raise $1,000 and they tripled that.
The students were dropped off at 6pm and they were fed pizza
donated by Mama's Express. Throughout the night the students
participated in various team building activities as well as
challenging events and games. The students even had the
opportunity to use the rock climbing wall in the adaptive
gym. Once the games and activities were over the students
set up their village in the Green Gym. The next day the
students were served breakfast, which was donated generously
by McDonalds & Dunkin Donuts, and then they were on their
way at 7:30am. Both the students and the teachers thoroughly
enjoyed themselves and team 7-2 looks forward to putting on
a camp-in next year as well. There were also donations from
both Hannaford and DeCresente.

Box Tops for Education - Acadia
will be participating in Box Tops for Education this school year.
Here is how it works: Each product package will have a Box Top coupon somewhere
on the package. Parents, extended family members, friends, faculty and
staff clip Box Tops from hundreds of participating products and send them to
school. (Each Box Tops coupon is worth a dime to Acadia.) The Box Tops are
counted and bundled and shipped off to General Mills and they send Acadia a
check. This can happen twice a year. Periodically we will have contests to keep
interest high in this campaign.
Box Tops central is Acadia Room 104. Mrs. Irwin's room.
We will have collection spots in each homeroom and Box Tops will be picked up at
those points or you can leave them in A104.
Click here for
a product list. Start clipping!!!
Also, please
click
here to go to the web site and register as an Acadia supporter we will earn
5 extra bonus points! |
