Exploring with a Purpose. That is the logo at ACS. Sometimes logos such as this can become so familiar that we lose our appreciation for them, but for someone coming in from the outside it is fresh and new – and exciting. That is exactly what happened at the elementary school. While I don’t think this logo has become stale for most of us at ACS, someone new to our staff last year spoke about how much she appreciated what this logo means and the possibilities it has for a school theme. She convinced us and we will be using this as a guide for the learning that happens at ACES this year.
So what does that look like? Well, first of all, this theme is based in Psalm 24:1 –The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. At ACS, we believe that everything we learn about reveals something about who God is. He is revealed to us in creation, and that is so much more than the majestic mountains, awesome sunsets and trickling brooks. It is our bodies, the gift of language, technology, structures, how numbers work and, well, everything… The really exciting part, I think, is that we don’t know exactly what it looks like. Each exploration by different individuals or groups reveals new insights, new discoveries and new opportunities for praise.
