Class Retreats – Prayer Warriors and Food Donations Needed
Please click here to sign up to help!
Assumption parents and community members, please support our grade-level retreats! We are looking for donations of snacks and plateable desserts (homemade items are a real treat)! Also, new this year, we are seeking volunteers to pray for our students during their retreats. Adoration will be attended in the AHS Carroll Lab (next to the school library) throughout all retreat days. Please consider signing up for one or more time slots. Our young people need and benefit from our prayers!
The dates of the retreats are as follows:
Junior Retreat-Tuesday, April 28
Freshman Retreat-Wednesday, April 29th
Sophomore Retreat-Thursday, April 30th
Senior Retreat-Friday, May 1st
We are also in need of host families to house members of our visiting retreat team. If you have available beds at your home, please consider offering them to these amazing house guests! Please contact AHS Campus Minister, Natalie Imborek at natalie.imborek@assumptionhigh.org with questions or to sign up to host.
Please also reach out to Natalie if you or someone you know would enjoy time spent as a retreat small group leader. We need helpers on all retreat days, and you do not need to volunteer for all days in order to participate in this way. This is a great opportunity for older siblings who might be in town and available.
Thank you so much for your support of our AHS community!
Pilsen Immersion: Spanish in Action
Spanish Intermediate students had an amazing day in Pilsen, Chicago! They visited the National Museum of Mexican Art, explored stunning exhibits, and toured vibrant neighborhood murals. They also enjoyed lunch at an authentic Mexican restaurant, where they practiced their Spanish in real-life conversations. A delicious stop at a local panadería made the cultural experience even sweeter!
