On Saturday, the 7th/8th grade band and choir attended the "Trills and Thrills" music festival. The day began with adjudicated performances at Highland Park High School in St. Paul where the band and choir both received an "Excellent Rating". Another participating choir, Proctor High School, performed the same song as our choir, and they decided to have an extra special music making experience singing "True Colors" together! After the festival, the band and choir students demonstrated even more vocal musical talent screaming their lungs out at ValleyFair, where fun was had by all!
Students created Tie Dye T-shirts in FUNdamentals in Science with Mrs. Jans.

History Comes Alive: ACGC Students Explore West Central Minnesota's Past
Today ACGC 6th grade students embarked on an immersive journey through local history, visiting two significant sites: the Forest City Stockade and the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) Hall in Litchfield. These excursions provided a vivid window into the lives of early settlers and Civil War veterans, offering invaluable lessons about our community's heritage.
🏰 Forest City Stockade: A Glimpse into Pioneer Life
At the Forest City Stockade, students stepped back into the 1860s, experiencing firsthand the challenges faced by settlers during the Dakota War of 1862. The original stockade was hastily constructed on September 3, 1862, as a defensive measure against attacks during the conflict . The reconstructed site now serves as a living history museum, featuring authentic log buildings like a blacksmith shop, schoolhouse, and general store . Through interactive exhibits and reenactments, students gained insights into the resilience and resourcefulness of early Minnesotans.
🏛️ G.A.R. Hall: Honoring Civil War Veterans
In Litchfield, the students visited the Grand Army of the Republic Hall, one of the few remaining authentic G.A.R. halls in the United States . Established in 1885 by Civil War veterans, the hall stands as a tribute to those who served in the Union forces. Inside, students explored exhibits featuring original artifacts, including uniforms, flags, and personal items belonging to the veterans . The visit offered a profound connection to the sacrifices made during the Civil War and the enduring legacy of those who fought for unity and freedom.
🧠 Educational Impact
These field trips provided more than just a history lesson; they fostered a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of our local heritage. By engaging directly with historical sites and artifacts, students developed a tangible understanding of the events and individuals that shaped West Central Minnesota.
👏 Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to the educators, volunteers, and community members who made these enriching experiences possible. Your dedication to preserving and sharing our history ensures that future generations remain connected to the stories that define our community.

FUNdamentals in Science and History Through Film students took a trip to Granite Falls to be a witness to time.
They stopped at an overlook to see the Minnesota River which is what remains from the melting glaciers that created Lake Agassiz. The Great River Warren was the outlet to this giant lake and carved out the river valley.
They posed for a photo on and in front of a Morton Gneiss rock outcrop which is believed to be someone of the oldest rocks on Earth at 3.8 billion years old!
They also went to the Fagen Fighters WWII museum and got to witness a vintage plane take off!
