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

Please Consider Hosting for our NET Team April 30-May 3

Posted on

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!

Assumption Knight Players Present: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]

Assumption Knight Players Present The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]

12 actors, all alike in dignity, in fair Sunderbruch Auditorium, where we perform 37 plays in 90 minutes! Join the Assumption Knight Players on October 14 and 15 at 7 PM and on October 16 at 2 PM for our fall play, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) [REVISED] [AGAIN]. The cultural touchstone that is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) was born when three inspired, charismatic comics, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance fairs, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy after a decade at the Criterion Theatre. THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) is one of the world’s most frequently produced plays and has been translated into several dozen languages. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, meant to be performed in 97 minutes. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. Admission is $10 at the door or online at ShowTix4U.com/events/78 , free with student activity passes.

Prom 2022 Update

Posted on

Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen, Upperclassmen of Assumption High School!

The Assumption Prom 2022 is quickly approaching!  This year’s function will be held Saturday, May 7th, at Rhythm City Casino.   

  • Promenade Instructions

Promenade begins at 6:00 p.m. at Rhythm City Casino in the Quads rooms.  Students wishing to participate may line up beginning at 5:30 p.m.  Seating will be available for parents, family, and friends who wish to attend Promenade.

  • Pre-Prom Mass

In an effort to make fulfilling the Sunday Mass obligation easier for students with the timing of the scheduled events, Mass (for students and chaperones only) will be celebrated immediately following the Promenade. We are fortunate to have Fr. Andrew Rauenbuehler, Parochial Vicar of Our Lady of Victory, presiding as we embrace the opportunity to celebrate Mass together on this special evening.

  • Dance and Dismissal

Immediately following the Pre-Prom Mass, sign-in will open for seating in the Davenport room.  Students must be signed in on site no later than 7:00 p.m.  Prom will include dinner and dancing until 11:00 p.m.  Students may not leave the dance earlier than 10:30 p.m. All clothing, dancing, and behavior must remain appropriate.  Prom is an extension of the academic setting, and high expectations will be maintained.

  • Post Prom

Post Prom will be Hawaiian themed. Students are welcomed and encouraged to dress in fun Hawaiian themed clothing. Prizes will be awarded for the top 3 best dressed in Hawaiian themed attire. While we welcome all students to have fun with the theme, extra-curricular activity attire guidelines will need to be followed.

For accountability purposes, all students who attend Prom are expected to attend Post Prom at Assumption.  Written parental permission to be excused from Post Prom (in full or in part) may be submitted to the school office by Thursday, May 5th. If this written permission is not on file at school, and a student who attended Prom does not show up to Post Prom, a parent/guardian will be called. Post Prom will open at 11:00 p.m. All junior and senior students, regardless of whether or not they attended the dance, are invited and encouraged to attend Post Prom.  There is no cost to attend Post Prom. Students must arrive at Post Prom no later than 11:30 p.m. Students will be able to use locker room facilities at Assumption to change clothes after the dance, if needed. Students may not leave Post Prom (without prior written permission) until its completion at approximately 2:30 a.m.

If you would like to bring a guest from another school, please stop in the front office for the proper dance guest permission form.  Please choose your attire with a standard of modesty in mind.  Any students who need assistance with acquiring appropriate attire or with purchasing a ticket should see Mrs. Murphy or Mr. Frieden, as there are means in place to make sure that financial barriers do not prevent any student from attending this fun event.  Student Council members will be selling tickets during lunches until Wednesday, May 4th for $40 per person in order to provide an attendance count to the venue while allowing everyone the opportunity to attend.

Please join in making this event an awesome time for Assumption students!

Enjoy making memories,

 

Mr. Frieden

Director of Student Success
