Assumption High Clubs and Activities 2024-2025
Dear Students –
Welcome back!
I can’t tell you how good it is to see the faces of all of those returning to the halls of Assumption – as well as all of the new faces. After just two weeks – we’ve already had a few adventures together in weathering the heat of an Iowa summer – as well as a few early outs! (How fun was that?) I hope you did something great with that extra time.
I’ve been in all the freshman classes this week to introduce myself, and am getting through the list of foreign exchange students and transfers this week and next. So hopefully, if you don’t know me yet, you will! I hope you’ll find my office (and me 😊) a friendly place to talk, get questions answered without judgement, and find resources you need.
One piece of advice as we start the year… assume the best. Are you a freshman or a transfer and not sure if you’ll fit in with the community here? Assume the best. Students here are some of the best in the land (in my humble opinion.) You will find someone you connect with. And with just one connection…others tend to appear.
Are you unsure if you should approach your teacher to ask a question? Assume the best. Teachers here really care about their students. They want to see you succeed. They’re hoping you’ll be engaged! The vast majority LOVE it when you go ask questions!
Not sure if you should raise your hand in class to answer that question? Assume the best. Be brave! You will give confidence to those wondering if they should raise their hands, too! And if you get that answer wrong – it’s OK! EVERYONE gets things wrong sometimes. Try again next time!
Wondering whether you should open yourself up to making a new friend? Assume the best! High school is the best time to open up your social circle and get to know new people. Take a chance on getting to know someone new. In fact, take a chance on getting to know LOTS of new people. That person you weren’t sure about in grade school may have matured or grown…and you probably have, too! Take a look with new eyes. You might be surprised.
Dear students – I hope you have the BEST year at Assumption High School. Don’t hesitate to stop in to room E1 to see me to talk, get some resources, play some chess or Connect 4 after school, or just tell me how your day is going. I love to see you. And don’t forget to join some activities – I’ll attach the list of Clubs and Activities again. Clubs and activities are a great way to get to know people. Get involved.
Here’s to a great year,
Ms. Bush
Check out the Art Club 2024 Happenings.
We are 60 days out from our class retreats (April 30th– May 3rd).
This year, we are looking for families to host the NET missionaries from Sunday, April 28th (evening)- Friday, May 3rd (morning.) Each morning, they will need to be dropped off at the retreat site, and each evening, upon their return to your home, they need dinner and a place to sleep.
There are 5 men, and 5 women NET members. So we are looking for homes that could accommodate 2 or 3.
Please contact Natalie.imborek@assumptionhigh.org for more information about housing NET.
We are in need of host families! Please consider this need for our AHS community as a wonderful way to give back!
