Mr. Wood

 It seems as though Mr. Wood is one of the rare individuals who has an instinct for knowing both how to handle kids and understand them. There is no doubt that the students of A.C.S. associate Mr. Wood with one activity of another, whether it be with sports, woodshop or student council. We thank him for caring about us.
