Dear Parents,

Three snow days in a row and a time change have thrown me for a loop! Sorry for the late newsletter.

I want to thank the first and second grade classes and the HSA for hosting the Easter Bunny Brunch this weekend. Not even Nor'easter Quinn could stop the Easter Bunny from visiting Assumption!



As always I want to thank those that donated supplies or their time to make this a wonderful springtime celebration, even if Mother Nature had other plans. The Dad's Club cooking crew was firing on all cylinders Saturday morning. It was great to trust the task of feeding our guests to a trusted crew. 

I hope our celebration will bring about the springtime weather and prepare us for the coming of Easter. 
 
Many Blessings,

Steven J. Santoli
Principal

A special thank you to head coach, Mr. Guastelle, and team manager, Mrs. Guastelle, for their leadership and guidance throughout the season.
