ACHS Senior Hallie Harkrader was recognized on Monday, November 11th with the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Good Citizen Award. The DAR Good Citizens Award and Scholarship Contest, created in 1934, is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. This award, extended by the Butler, MO Harmony Mission DAR Chapter, recognizes and rewards high school seniors who possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism in their homes, schools, and communities. Hallie was selected by her teachers because she demonstrates these qualities to an outstanding degree. Hallie's father, Brett Harkrader, presented her with a DAR Good Citizen pin just before Hallie read a speech she wrote about the importance of service. Congratulations, Hallie.

Dear Appleton City School Community,
As we approach the end of the first quarter of the school year, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the progress we have made and to express my gratitude for the support and dedication of our students, staff, and families. It is truly a blessing to serve this community in the role of Superintendent.
This year has begun with a strong sense of enthusiasm and commitment to excellence. Our teachers have worked diligently to create engaging and inclusive learning environments, ensuring that students feel valued and supported. I am proud to report that we have seen remarkable participation in our academics, extracurricular activities, and community events, which have all contributed to a vibrant school culture. We are so pleased to have Mrs. Bauer and Mr. Bolte leading their respective buildings. Both are doing a great job meeting the needs of our staff and students.
As we near the conclusion of the Fall Sports season, it is hard to believe how quickly time has flown. We are excited to celebrate our Senior Night for Volleyball on Thursday, October 17th at 5:30 PM with the game starting at 6:00 PM, followed by Senior Night for Football on Friday, October 18th at 6:30 PM with kickoff at 7:00 PM. I encourage everyone to come out and support and recognize our Senior athletes as they enter into District play. Additionally, our Junior High Volleyball and Junior High Football seasons have also wrapped up, marking a successful period for our younger athletes. It’s hard to believe that Basketball practices are starting up, with that season beginning soon.
We practiced our tornado and fire drills today, so students may come home talking about our drills. Looking ahead, I want to remind you that Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on October 28th. Further details will be released closer to that date, and I encourage all parents and guardians to participate in these important discussions about your child's progress. We invite parents to come in and meet with teachers and take a tour of campus. The partnership between home and school is critical in ensuring the success of every child in our District. While you are here, be sure to look at our renovations from Summer, including a fresh look in the Elementary hallway and some tile projects in the Cafeteria, Library, and classrooms.
We also have some other key events in the coming weeks, including Food for America on October 18th, National FFA Convention October 23-26, and Football vs. Jasper at 7 PM in AC on October 25th. We will update times for District play in Volleyball and Football when that information is known. As an additional reminder, bids for welders from the Ag Department, the surplus property school van, and track drainage bids are due to Central Office no later than end-of-day Tuesday.
As always, it’s a great day to be a Bulldog! Thank you for your ongoing commitment and support of our school. I look forward to celebrating our achievements and working together to ensure a successful remainder of the year.
Your Partner In Education,
Sarah Miller
AC Schools Superintendent
Congratulations, Katie!
