The Lion's Roar

Our school verse for the year is Psalm 118:24: "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Our administrators selected that verse as a reminder that each day is a special gift from God and we should be happy for that gift of time to serve God.

Our hope this year is that we see each and every day as a unique blessing and opportunity to partner with our families to develop the full potential of each of our 173 students. As we travel the journey that this school year takes us, we appreciate your support and prayers. Please always let us know of any questions or concerns that you might have.

Upper School students will have an opportunity to recite this verse to our Chaplain, Greyson Smith, during the week of August 31 to earn points for their color team.

You may drop off your Master Supplies at the front office anytime. Please check in with Mrs. Kirby or Mrs. Stefanie so we can mark your child as complete.

If you have a need you’d like others to pray for, or a blessing or answered prayer you’d like to celebrate, we invite you to submit it. This is a great way for our community to support one another and rejoice together.

Our students can earn points for their color teams throughout the year by attending games, participating in Pep Rallies, reciting the monthly Bible verse, having the highest average in their class at the end of the school year, and many other ways.

What a fun way to kick off another great year at Anderson Christian School! Our Back to School Bash on Saturday was filled with laughter, friendly competition, games, and fellowship as our ACS families came together to celebrate the start of a new school year.

Students kicked off the evening in the gym with exciting ACS color-team competitions, showing plenty of school spirit along the way. Congrats to Michaela Van Dyken for winning our unique version of musical chairs and to Izzy Davis and Brian Carroll for being the last team standing with their ball firmly in place. Also, congrats to Jake Golide and Nate Osipov for having the closest guess for the Mike-n-Ikes and Gummy Bears/Worms.

The fun continued outside with carnival-style games hosted by our teachers, where students visited each grade-level station and collected marks to earn points for their teams.

Most importantly, the evening gave students, parents, teachers, and families an opportunity to connect, laugh, and enjoy being together. We are so thankful for everyone who helped make the Back to School Bash such a success!

Note: We will have chapel the first school day of each week. So, if Monday is a holiday, we will have chapel on Tuesday. This means that the first day of school, because it is the first school day of that week, will also be a chapel day.

We are looking for parents who would like to volunteer and help coach our Anderson Christian School Archery program!

To assist with practices and tournaments, volunteers must complete a NASP Basic Archery Instructor (BAI) Certification. This one-day training equips you with the knowledge and certification needed to safely coach and support our student-athletes.

Upcoming BAI Training Dates:
August 22 – Thornwell Charter School
September 5 – St. James High School
September 19 – East Point Academy (Middle Campus)
October 17 – Walhalla High School
November 7 – Greenville Technical Charter High School
December 5 – South Aiken Baptist Christian School

If you enjoy working with students and would like to invest in our archery program, we would love to have you join our coaching team! No previous coaching experience is required—just a willingness to learn and encourage our athletes.

If you're interested or would like more information about registering for a BAI certification, please contact Coach Medina or Lisa Hill.
