On this Memorial Day, we honor and express our deep gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

On Sunday, our community came together to host the America 250 Art Show and Upper School Production in celebration of America’s semiquincentennial, commemorating 250 years of our nation’s history.

This celebration began with a school-wide visual art show displaying artwork, including American-themed pieces, from every student K-8 and all Upper School students in Studio Art. An inspiring pre-concert lecture followed, which presented the courageous and untold story of James Lafayette. The evening concluded with a moving theatrical production combining visual art, piano, strings, and choral performances that highlighted key moments in U.S. history. Watching our students share our nation’s story through art and music left us inspired and hopeful for the future!

Special thanks to our Fine Arts team and Upper School performers for an inspiring tribute to our nation’s history.

Last Thursday, we celebrated the Class of 2030 at our fourth annual 8th Grade Convocation, a special night marking a milestone transition in our upper school at ACA. The evening featured student-led skits, heartfelt reflections and the presentation of student epithets. Given by their teachers, these epithets highlight the individual strengths and virtues each student brings to our community, offering a glimpse into the knowledgeable, virtuous citizens they are becoming.

We are so proud of each of these students and the impact they have made during their time at ACA. We can't wait to welcome them to high school next year!
