The HSA 4th Grade Chairs are busy creating this year’s yearbook, which will feature baby photos of our 4th graders and an "About Me" section. 4th Grade Class Parents will reach out to collect these photos for submission to the HSA, ensuring they're included in the yearbook.* Each student will also be asked to contribute to their "About Me" section, sharing their favorite sport or hobby, a memorable moment from ACS, and more. Stay tuned!

*This is not mandatory but the kids really do love being included and seeing themselves and all their classmates as babies!

The HSA 4th Grade Chairs will include candid photos of 4th Graders during their time at ACS, from PreK through 4th Grade. Photo submissions should be from ACS events, such as Halloween parades, Pumpkin Carving Nights, Fall Festivals, class parties, field trips, Field Day, Korean Culture Nights, School Concerts, Virtual Learning (Kindergarten), ACS Talent Shows, and ACS Global Feasts. 4th Grade Class Parents will reach out to collect these photos for the yearbook.

Shout-outs are short, positive messages that families and friends can send to students in the memory book (yearbook). The HSA 4th Grade Chairs will coordinate with families on how to send payment along with the message(s) you'd like printed in the memory book.

ACS graduates feel such pride to see their names displayed on lawn signs as part of the graduating class. The HSA 4th Grade Chairs will be coordinating orders for lawn signs. Make sure you place your orders!

4th Graders walk through the halls of ACS one last time. Teachers and students of lower grades line the halls clapping their hands in honor of this milestone; saying their goodbyes and well wishes.
