Mr. Stough Not Returning for 2007-2008 School Year
Most of you may have heard by now from your children that Mr. Stough will not be returning as Director of Bands at ACA next year. He will be MISSED greatly! We've been honored to have him serve as our Band Director for the past three years. His will be TOUGH shoes to fill! Mr. Stough and Mr. Sewell are working diligently in search of a new band director. Please keep them in your prayers that the Lord will give them guidance, wisdom and discernment in this search.
