Galloway Fire Department visits ACCS
Last week, the Galloway Fire Department visited ACCS to talk about fire safety and show our scholars what’s inside of a firetruck!
Local firefighters discussed the importance of families having an emergency exit plan in case of a fire and helpful fire safety tips. Scholars then were able to take a guided tour around a functional fire engine, where they could ask questions and check out firefighter equipment up close.
Thanks for visiting us, Galloway Fire Department, and thank you for all the work you do to keep us safe!

ACCS receives school supply donation
On Wednesday, September 22nd, Longport police officers Shaune Slattery and Matthew Long teamed up with Olivia Stone in delivering school supplies to ACCS scholars!
Olivia, a freshman at Ocean City High School, has made it her mission over the last three years to help children within the community. Her efforts have impacted the lives of so many children over the years by providing them with the resources necessary to be successful.
We look forward to seeing Olivia again next year and being a part of such an incredible cause!
