Posted on February 28, 2025
ACS (Primary) School recently celebrated its Founder’s Day, marking a remarkable 139 years of excellence in education. This special occasion was filled with fun and engaging activities, bringing together students, teachers, and parent volunteers in a spirited atmosphere. The day was designed not only to commemorate the school’s rich 139-year history but also to foster a deeper sense of appreciation for the ACS community. Through a blend of games, creative activities, and delicious treats, the Founder’s Day celebration left a lasting impression on everyone involved.
Recess Activities: Games Galore!
One of the main highlights of the day was the variety of recess activities that kept the children engaged and excited. Four fun-filled games were organized, each adding a unique twist to the celebration:
Shoot the Correct Answers ACS Nerf Game – A thrilling game where students had to shoot Nerf darts at the correct answers displayed on the wall. It was an exciting way to combine learning with action, encouraging both focus and fun.
Memory Tray – In this game, the children were tasked with memorizing a tray of items before they were covered up. It tested their memory skills while also promoting teamwork as they worked together to recall all the items.
Pass the Message – A classic game with a twist, where students had to pass along a message to the person in front by drawing on his back with a finger. The messages passed along were familiar ACS words, like the house names and ihopeful values.
Jenga – A game of steady hands and concentration, where students took turns removing blocks from the Jenga tower without causing it to collapse. It brought out a healthy sense of competition and excitement.
A major highlight for the children was definitely receiving tokens for winning the games. These small prizes were a token of recognition for their participation and success in the games, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day. Every child who won a game walked away with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
In addition to the games, the children were also given the opportunity to make their very own ACS badges. This creative activity allowed them to express their pride in being part of the ACS family, fostering a deeper sense of belonging within the school community.
Sweet Treats and Gratitude
No celebration is complete without a treat, and the kids were certainly not disappointed! Ice cream was served to all, and many children took the opportunity to indulge in a second helping, savoring the sweet, cool relief! The joy of enjoying ice cream together made the day even more memorable.
A heartfelt thank you is also in order for the parent volunteers who played an instrumental role in making the day such a success. Their enthusiasm and dedication to serving the students were evident. Their contributions were key in making the day run smoothly and creating lasting memories for all.
A Deeper Appreciation for ACS
As the day came to a close, the children were left with a deeper sense of appreciation for their school and its incredible 139-year legacy. Founder’s Day is more than just a celebration of the past; it is a reminder of the values that ACS stands for. May this day serve as a stepping stone for the children to further develop a sense of gratitude towards the school, its heritage, the people who have made it all possible and most importantly to God.
In the years to come, the children will look back on this Founder’s Day with fond memories, knowing that they were part of something special—a tradition that celebrates not only the history of ACS but also the bright future ahead.
