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
