There’s an infamous place on the secondary campus. It’s located in the band room, up the stairs and to the right. Truly, if you follow the smell, you’ve found it. No joke. It’s known around here as “the black hole.” It’s known to make staff shudder. Ask any former staff member and they will shake [...]
Happy 70th Anniversary! On September 5, 2023, ACS will open its doors to students for a 70th time! What a testament to God’s enduring faithfulness. Many of you know that myself and many of us in leadership at ACS are fond of a biblical liturgy recently introduced to us and helpful in leading our school [...]
When we were asked to give the parent blessing at the grad banquet in May, our first thought was “How do we come up with a blessing that encourages such a wonderful group of amazing young people?” They have been such a blessing to us and to the community around us in many ways. In [...]
As if this first year of “principaling” wasn’t enough, I went with two of our grade 8 classes on their SALTS trip last week. Every year, our grade 8 students spend a week on a tall ship through SALTS (Sailing and Life Training Society). What an adventure! Orcas off the stern, rope swings and swimming [...]

Growing up, I was taught that helping others and spreading the gospel by being God’s hands and feet is my mission. Matthew 5:42 says, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see [...]
Heidi and I are part of a small group at our church. Our small group is currently involved in a study that includes the viewing of The Chosen. The Chosen is an American Christian historical drama series on the life and ministry of Jesus. The series centers on Jesus and the many people He encountered and [...]
I first met Carrie Lockwood when I was a student teacher at Fraser Valley Christian High School (now Surrey Christian School). She was teaching grade 8 and I was invited on the grade 8 trip to Camp Kawkawa. She left a lasting first impression on me. She was one of those teachers who loves building [...]
“Let’s go camping this Easter,” he said. “It will be an adventure.” This was no small ask of my husband, Arne. You see, we had bought a used trailer last fall in the dark and cold of a November night and he was eager to try it out for the first time. From Vintage to [...]
Fourteen moves in 14 years. From hoarders’ homes from the 1950s to bears in our yard daily, we have lived in some interesting places. We have completed some challenging renos and cleared out some interesting items. So why have we moved so many times? With my husband in land development, we decided to take on [...]
