Congratulations to the winners of our Door Decorating Contest. The theme was school pride!

Saturday, March 25, is the feast of the Annunciation. The feast of the Annunciation marks the visit of the angel, Gabriel, to the Virgin Mary, when he told her that she would conceive and bear a son named Jesus. It also marks Mary’s acceptance of God’s will.

Thank you to all of the volunteers and organizers of our Family Bingo Night. We had a capacity crowd and we felt the love. What a great show of community spirit and love for our ASCS! Thanks to all who volunteered, donated and attended. We can't wait to do it again. Click here to see photos from the night.

Tuesday and Wednesday:

Dress-up day-choose your own outfit. The portraits will be taken in black and white for a wonderful classic look .One of the best things about this program is that it costs nothing to participate, and there’s no obligation to order a package. The photography will be done during the school day. You will be receiving “proofs” within 10 days after photography. At that point you can decide if you’d like to place an order. The proofs are yours to keep even if you don’t order a package.

After School Club Sports session 4 registration is open. Sessions begin on March 30. Details can be found here.

In celebration of our opening night, any student who wants may come to school dressed up as a Newsie on Friday, March 31.
