FROM
THE NEST
Dear Assumption Family,

This week I invite you to attend our annual Back to School Night Tuesday evening. We will start by gathering in the Parish Hall at 6:00 pm. I will give a brief presentation about some of the new and exciting happenings at Assumption as well as introduce the teachers and staff. You will then be asked to move over to the school where you will have the opportunity to get to know your child's teacher, visit the classroom, and learn about the expectations for the school year.

I can not stress enough how important open and honest communication and collaboration are for your child's success here at Assumption. Parents are the primary teachers of their children, nobody knows them better than you. We would like to form a partnership between school and home for the betterment of our children. That partnership starts and is strengthened on Tuesday evening.

I look forward to seeing you this week and beginning our journey together.

Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal
WE ARE ASSUMPTION

Assumption Catholic School prides itself on its quality education, rooted in faith and service.

One example of this is our 2nd grade class taught by Ms. Kathy Andrade. Each year her class raises much needed funds towards a cure for childhood cancer through the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Once again, beginning Friday September 27th her class will sell lemonade to the Prek-4th grade during snack time and then in the Cafeteria for grades 5-8th during lunch. They hope to raise $1,000 throughout the year and donations of .50 to $1.00 per glass are greatly appreciated.

We wish the 2nd grade success in their
service efforts!

Hopefully you noticed throughout school and outside the building our new effort to go green. With the addition of a Single Stream Dumpster on campus, Clothing Recycling bins and recycling cans in each classroom, in the halls and cafeteria we are now able to recycle daily paper, plastic, cans, and more.
