The Summer Activities website was made to encourage the Acero community to engage in summer fun that is aligned with our mission, launching the next generations of extraordinary lifelong learners, discerners, and doers. To encourage participation in the activities we have gathered on this website, there is a competition available to win various prizes up to a DoorDash gift card for the scholar's participation in these activities.
