Dear Assumption Family,

Thank you to everybody that made the Wines and Steins Auction Event a smashing success! With the efforts of our dedicated volunteers we were able to raise over $10,000 in one night to support the children and mission of Assumption Catholic School. This event is a monumental undertaking and all those that helped should be proud and rest in the knowledge that their efforts are appreciated and valued.

Our Home School Association is an integral part of our school community. Without the vision, work, and dedication of these volunteers many of our programs would not be possible.  The HSA is responsible for the majority of our fundraising and family events. They coordinate after school activities, host the walk-a-thon, manage the book fairs, and organize the Bunny Brunch and Breakfast with Santa among so many other things.



The HSA needs your help!     

Our current organization is made up of a few dedicated and capable families, but we can always use more volunteers.  As we closeout the year and look forward to another fantastic year at Assumption it is time to prepare for our future. If you want this school to succeed and to be a welcoming and nurturing place for your children I ask that you get involved.  One of the great many advantages of Catholic schools is the community and family atmosphere.  This can only continue if you help!

In the coming weeks we will share opportunities to get involved. There is a place for everybody and every talent. Your support and effort can only improve our already fantastic school community.
   
Many Blessings,

Steven J. Santoli
Principal

New Uniform Now Available
New Design and Uniform  Supplier for 2018-19 School Year

The official school uniform for Assumption Catholic School will change effective at the start of the 2018-19 school year. Along with the change, a new exclusive provider has been selected. Blake's Uniform in Stratford will be our uniform provider effective immediately. 

The school uniform has been redesigned to include our updated logo and incorporate the color blue to honor our Blessed Mother Mary. Affordability, comfort, and simplicity were guiding principles in the redesign.   

Blake's Uniform is a locally owned and operated business with a convenient location, unparalleled customer service, and a simple to use online ordering system.  Unlike the previous supplier, Blake's has a large variety of items on hand and applies logos while you wait. This means that there should be no shortage or backorder issues on high demand items.

Samples of the uniforms are on display in the main lobby of the school and pictures are included below. Also find attached a spreadsheet outlining the new uniform code and requirements.  

Students are invited to wear the current uniform through the end of this year. Our current supplier will not be able to meet the need for warm weather uniforms this Spring.  On April 16, when we arrive back to school after Spring Break students are invited to wear the updated uniforms supplied by Blake's should they choose.
