Volume:3   Issue: 33 April 22

Dear Assumption Family,

I am fortunate to see our wonderful students grow everyday.  I have a front row seat to their amazing skills. I am continually impressed by their academic skills, kindness, and expressions of faith.  I know that our families and teachers are doing a great job in molding our students into young men and women of exceptional character that are well prepared for their bright futures ahead.

On Thursday evening the quality of an Assumption education was on display outside of our classrooms and halls.  Our very on fifth grade student Julia was selected to represent all students in the Diocese of Bridgeport Catholic Schools as the student speaker at the annual Foundations in Education Gala.  Julia took the stage at Woodway Country Club in Darien to a packed house of donors and honored guests.

Julia embodies all that is great about Assumption Catholic School.  Please take a moment to watch her speech.  I am always proud of our students, but when you get the chance to showoff how great they are to people outside our community, it is extra special.  Watch the video and you too will be impressed, not with my sloppy camera work, but with the poise, grace, and courage that Julia demonstrated.

She truly represented her family, our school, and all Catholic school students well.

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.

Kindergarten - 5 Girl's Uniform (Warm Weather)
