What’s Happening?

Future Happenings
April 23 (Sunday): Mother-Daughter Tea is coming up! Save the Date. Location will be the ACS Pavilion after Mass from 11:30 – 1:30pm
April 29 (Saturday): ACS Family Field Night Mark your calendars and join us for the 2nd Annual Family Field Night on Saturday, April 29, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. on the ACS campus. We’re gathering together to celebrate spring and the final stretch of another great school year at Annunciation. Food, fellowship, and sports await kids and parents alike. Watch for another event announcement after Easter Break, with specifics for families to sign up to bring food or beverage items. More details to come.
April 29 – May 7: Spring Food Drive As the summer months approach food stores such as Fry’s, Safeway, and Walmart will cut back on their food inventories, which in turn reduces their food donations to the Foothills Food Bank, in Cave Creek. To offset this, Annunciation School, SVdP, and the KofC will combine efforts and conduct a food drive. The purpose is to replenish those lowering food levels, which in turn are allocated for “those in need”. Thank you for your support.
April 30 (Sunday) Save the date for the Mother-Son event.
May 3 (Wednesday) May Family Dine Out Fundraiser at Chipotle on Carefree Hwy. Join us for food, fellowship and fun.
May 3 (Wednesday) 6:30 pm Very Important Parent Meeting: Digital Safety for Adolescents and Teens. Nationally known speaker and author, Dr. Lisa Strohman, will be at ACS to present to parents on digital safety and parenting in a tech-addicted world. Parents of all students, even the younger ones, should attend this event. The more you know (and there is a LOT that we don’t know), the better you can protect your children.
May 5 (Friday) Talent Show rescheduled from Catholic Schools Week. Showtime is 10:45 am. Noon dismissal. Performance information sheets where sent out Start thinking of the talent you’d like to share.

When you purchase your student’s meals, please make sure you go to your cart and submit. The cart should be empty. If there is anything left in the cart, it will not be ordered and therefore no lunch for your student. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call Dishes 2U customer care or the office. Starting April 1st, Chick-Fil-A every other Tuesday, in addition to the current vendors.
