A Safe, Secure School for Your Children

At Appleton Christian School the safety and privacy of our students, their families, the faculty, and the staff is very important. We have provided a secure facility in a wonderfully established neighborhood, and to go along with the physical security we are providing in our facility, we have committed to keeping our website as informative as possible without showing pictures or names of students, faculty or staff. We have provided you with information about the experience represented on the faculty and staff and, if you make the choice to visit us to find out more about ACS, you will get to meet us in person, and we, you! We welcome that opportunity knowing that parents today are appreciative of an environment that is as safe and secure as possible, especially for their young children.

Why All the Emphasis on Fitness?

This summer (actually the day after graduation) my son was in a terrible car accident. It involved two vehicles and eight people. The state trooper who was second on the seen said it was a miracle that no one was killed. He said ‘I have never seen an accident this bad with no mortality and no paralysis’. My son came away from the accident with multiple injuries: brain trauma, a broken jaw (in two places), broken spine, 3 bowel resections, among others. He spent just short of 5 weeks in the hospital and lost over 20 pounds. Yet when physical therapy started working with him they were very impressed with his strength and how quickly he improved his condition. I thought about his last year here at ACS and how Mrs. Grogan not only taught the 7th and 8th graders how to use the weight room equipment, but also made it available to them in the mornings prior to school. For the past year Tekoa worked out in the weight room two days each week, strengthening the full circuit of muscles. I am convinced that this is a large part of why the physical therapists were so impressed – how prepared his body was and also the year-long mindset of pressing on toward the goal. I also personally believe that this was a provision from God to prepare my son for this battle.

I want to thank Mrs. Grogan and ACS for opening the weight room for use by the students and Mr. Lingnofski and Mrs. Marnocha who were willing to be there to supervise those early mornings. I would also like to encourage the parents of the 7th and 8th graders to allow/encourage their children to work out and also to volunteer to be those early morning supervisors.
