Our ACC students and staff had a fantastic July and August, utilizing the summer months for extra learning and exciting new challenges. Here are just a few of the wonderful things that members of our school community experienced:- Members of our 2007 Travel Club hosted students from the Achimota School in Ghana, as the second half of an exchange program that took ACC students to West Africa one year ago:
- Seniors prepared for Calculus at Northeastern's summer math program; ninth graders brushed up on basic Algebra skills at our own ACC Summer Math Skills program; fifteen students did the Summer Bridge program to prepare for Advanced Placement Physics; eight students, along with Mr. Foy, participated in the A+ Summer Academy at Boston University (pictured above).
- Juniors and seniors had amazing domestic and international trips where they were mentally and physically challenged through the Summer Search Program.
- Five faculty members traveled to Orlando to receive training in the national AVID program.
We have been enriched and rested, and are now excited to return to ACC. Opening day for students is Thursday, September 4 at 8:00 a.m. sharp! I can't wait to see new and returning students, as they are the reason we come in and give our all each day.
