ACA KICKED OFF THE SCHOOL YEAR
WITH SENIOR BUDDIES
Alabama Christian Academy kicks off every school year with a special
evening when they pair up K4 or K5 students with a member of the
Senior Class. The great reveal is fun to watch as the K4, K5 students
and their families wait to hear their names called and who will be
their buddy for the year. The seniors visit their buddies class often for
reading, snacks and sometimes to just drop off a little gift.
