A HUGE thank you to our good friends at Florence Bank! Every summer, when the students leave the area, Florence Bank comes to do several food bank truck unloads and work days - here pictured prepping eggs for distribution. We truly appreciate that they take the time when we need it most to help out the ASC community!

All are welcome for a showing of an all time favorite, "The Sound of Music" on Friday, August 21st from 12-3PM. 🎥 🎶 Sing along to this vibrant and romantic tale of Maria and the von Trapp family, sharing universal themes of love, resilience and the power of music. Featuring beloved songs, The Sound of Music is the iconic story of a spirited nun who chooses not to live behind closed doors—and, by following her heart, learns to climb every mountain.
