We are blessed by a number of loyal benefactors who consistently respond to God’s call in supporting the mission of Catholic education at Assumption High School. In this season of Thanksgiving, we are thrilled to present an electronic version of our Annual Gratitude Report. We are incredibly grateful for the support of so many alumni, current and past parents, faculty and staff, and friends of Assumption.

| This week is FAFSA Awareness Week in Iowa – the official kick-off to the financial aid season.
The FAFSA form for Fall 2026 officially opened on October 1, which means you can now begin applying for financial aid. Why is the FAFSA Important? Filing the FAFSA is the first step toward accessing grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, and loans to help fund your education. Plus, many colleges require it for financial aid consideration, regardless of your income level. The FAFSA can be overwhelming for first time filers and seasoned completers alike, which is why ICAN and Iowa College Aid are here to help. Here are some events and resources that can help you in the planning process. Don’t Wait – File Early! Some financial aid is first-come, first-served. Filing your FAFSA early can increase your chances of receiving aid. Have questions? We’re here to help! Contact us at 977-272-4692 or visit www.icansucceed.org/apt to schedule a free FAFSA completion session. You can also join us for one of our virtual walk throughs of the FAFSA in which you join and fill out the FAFSA while being led through the form by an ICAN professional. Additional FAFSA assistance will be available through the chat feature to answer specific questions and provide assistance. |

Dear Assumption Family,
There are many times throughout the course of a year when I am reminded just how special our Assumption community really is. There are schools in every community, but this school is so much more than that. Our recent April Knight fundraiser brought the beauty of our Assumption Family to light once again, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to so many in our community who played such a vital role in the success of the event. From our corporate, family, and class-level sponsors to the student committee members who gained real-world educational experience through their service to this effort to those who donated and purchased auction items to raffle ticket buyers and sellers to all of those who attended and celebrated that night – thank you. Our mission of Catholic education is only possible through the support of many. I am truly blessed to be a part of this family.
One in the Spirit,
Bridget Murphy
