On Wednesday October 31st,  all school children are invited to bring their Halloween costumes to school and participate in the Assumption  Walkathon beginning at 1pm. All students will gather in the parking lot, pairing up with their buddies and  walk East on Stratfield Road to Brookview Ave. looping up and around the dead end and then back to school. Parents are, of course, invited to join! Every year, the children have a wonderful time parading with their friends and waving to the cars that drive past. The  Walkathon will commence in the Parish Hall where all children will receive a bottle of water and a bag of chips. We will then watch It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown together as a school before returning to our classroom to play a game or perhaps color a Halloween picture.

In addition to being a school tradition,  Walkathon is one of our most important fundraisers and a chance for families to secure pledges that will go directly to covering your family obligation of the HSA Activity Fee. Every dollar pledged is applied to the balance of your family fee. So be sure to ask friends and family to pledge your students'  walk, return the waiver and wear sneakers. We look forward to seeing all of the creative, frightening and cute costumes this year!
