Family Outdoor Winter Skate
Thanks to all the parents, students and teachers who ventured out on Saturday, for the annual ACHA Family Outdoor Winter Skate at the Harbourfront skating rink. We all had a great time, especially seeing the children skating circles around their parents. It was a great day for outdoor skating, with a record turnout of students and parents. Some parents have already asked for a repeat performance for this successful family event. Weather and time, will tell. Enjoy the pictures.

Lets Talk Science

Congratulations to Jelani Grant, a current ACHA student, who entered a short story into a Science Fiction, story writing contest. The contest was sponsored by Visions of Science and Jelani won 1st prize in the children's division.
Jelani is a grade 8 student of the Dr Robert Thornton Public School with an active imagination. His story Imagine is a time travel story that takes us to important moments in black history. Vivid, exciting and humourous, Imagine was a favorite right away with the judges. Way to go Jelani. Keep up the fantastic work.
