Volleyball

Our Varsity Volleyball team at Abilene Christian Schools has been very successful for many years. They have recently won a state championship! Coach Rhonda Davis has done an incredible job with her team.

We recently received an exciting announcement. Our 2006-2007 volleyball team is a recipient of the 2006-07 Game Plan/AVCA Team Academic Award.

This award honors teams who have matched their dedication to the sport of volleyball with excellence in the classroom. Meeting the requirements for this award is something that our team, coach and school are proud to have accomplished.

Coach Davis received a certificate for each member of the team and a plaque for the school commemorating this recognition.

Thank you to Coach Davis and her team for honoring God and enriching minds.

New Published Author - Deborah Strickland

4th grade teacher at ACS, Deborah Strickland, recently had her first book published. This is an exciting time for her. Below is some information about the book:

This is the story of a girl in the early 1900s whose life is turned upside down when her mother dies and she is taken in by relatives. The adventure continues as the family moves to the vacant, windswept territory of New Mexico.

Book Description
Mary was five years old when her mother died, leaving her in the care of her aunt and uncle, along with her two-year-old cousin. In 1907, the family decided to leave Kansas and move to the stark and empty territory of New Mexico. Mary wondered what it would be like there. She never expected the harshness of the land, or the difficulties the prairie would present for her and her new family. Along with other settlers in eastern New Mexico, and faced with dangers and hardships, the Jones family became a part of a great adventure on the vast and lonely prairie. Besides stampeding cattle, strange creatures, and the wild western winds, they battled many other obstacles in their fight for survival on the prairie.

Anyone that wants to purchase this book can go to iuniverse.com, do an author search for Deborah Strickland and purchase the book. She also has copies and the book can be purchased from her.

Please celebrate this great event with us at Abilene Christian Schools.

A New Beginning

The start of the school year is approaching. Soon the campus will be buzzing with students, parents and teachers. I am busy meeting people, learning the history of the school and developing relationships in the community. I look forward to the opportunities here at ACS. The faculty and staff are amazing people. They love and are dedicated to the school. I am blessed to be working with them. We look forward to God's blessings at ACS this year.
