We had a great costume party and parent involvement at our first BLT (Building Language Together) session this past Tuesday! Thank you to all those involved in putting this event together!
Our fifth-grade class had a fantastic day learning all about dairy farming at the wonderful Co-Jo Farm! We were warmly welcomed by our excellent tour guides, Greg, Joe, Janessa, and Liberty, who made the day both fun and educational. Along with the other farm hands, they took us on exciting tours, showing us the ins and outs of a working farm. Students learned fascinating facts about how the cows are fed and what keeps them healthy. The most anticipated part was seeing the impressive process of how the milk is collected using modern technology. Our guides gave us so much exciting information about the entire operation.
A big thank you to the whole Co-Jo Farm team for having us and for sharing their work.
A special thank you to Kevin Christoffers for his generous sponsorship that covered the bus fee for our field trip!
And of course, a huge thank you for the delicious ice cream treats we got to enjoy at the end of our trip!
Did you know? There is a conceptual drawing available for the building bond referendum! Visit https://www.acgcbuilttofly.com/plan to see a visual preview of the proposed building improvements. Please note: specific square footage and designs are not finalized and are only conceptual at this point. If residents approve the referendum, the design process would involve stakeholder feedback to help further refine and finalize the plan before construction begins. Completing fully engineered construction documents before project funding is secured would not be a cost-effective solution.
If approved, this plan would build a new two-station multipurpose addition to our junior/senior high school including health and fitness space, improve our Career and Technical Education (CTE) space with additional equipment and furnishings, relocate our wrestling space inside our 5–12 building and renovate the space to better support our student athletes’ needs, and address critical deferred maintenance needs.
Visit our website to learn more about the plan, and don't forget to vote on or before Tuesday, November 4. 👏

#LearningOnLocation #ACGC #FalconPride
Today our ACGC Falcons honored Indigenous Peoples’ Day in a special way — by cooking, sharing, and learning together. Each 6th grade class period took part in preparing a different dish rooted in the food traditions of the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples of Minnesota:
🍎 1st Hour made a warm Maple Apple Crisp and brewed a refreshing Maple Cranberry Tea, celebrating fall harvest and the spring sap flow that connects us to the cycles of the water and seasons.
🌽 2nd Hour prepared a hearty Three Sisters Stew — corn, beans, and squash — learning how these crops support one another in the soil, a lesson in symbiosis and sustainability.
🫐 3rd Hour baked a sweet Wild Berry Pudding in the crock pot, reflecting on how Minnesota’s soils and climate shape which berries thrive here.
🌾 4th Hour created a savory Wild Rice Soup with Turkey, honoring the sacred grain that grows only in our northern wetlands, a reminder of the importance of clean water and healthy ecosystems.
Later in the day, students came back together to taste what they created, share reflections, and connect their learning. They discovered that food is more than a meal — it’s a story of people, land, science, and culture woven together.
At ACGC, our Falcons aren’t just studying Earth Science, they are living it: cooking, eating, learning, and growing in community.
1️⃣Enhance Student Opportunities — The proposed improvements are designed to support a more flexible, inclusive, and responsive learning environment.
2️⃣Enrich Community Access — The plan includes features intended to make the spaces adaptable for community use, including recreation, adult education, and events.
3️⃣Address Our Deferred Maintenance Needs — Infrastructure upgrades aimed at maintaining the long-term viability of our facilities.

Last week, students in Ms. Stang’s Baking & Pastry class put their creativity and culinary skills to the test by designing their very own Crumbl-inspired cookies!
Students started by brainstorming ideas for their cookie, then created or found both a cookie and frosting recipe. They wrote grocery lists, calculated calories and costs per batch and per cookie, and developed a lab plan to ensure they could complete everything within the allotted class time. Once the planning was done, it was time for the fun part: baking and frosting their delicious creations!
On Friday, October 3, ACGC High School staff members stopped by the FACS room to sample and judge the cookies to choose the ultimate Crumbl Cookie winner!
The students’ creativity and hard work made this a seriously sweet competition!
