April Knight FUNdraiser – October 25th
The Assumption Knight Players’ performances of Clue, will be this weekend, October 12th & 13th at 7:00 p.m. and October 14th at 2:00 p.m. Join the iconic oddballs known as Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Colonel Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
General admission tickets will be available at the door.
On September 4, 2018 we held our first Blood Drive of the school year. We provided 31 donations for local hospitals. Each whole blood donation can be processed into multiple blood components, so our blood drive provided up to 124 products for patients in need.
Thank you to all who gave blood to provide lifesaving products to hospitals throughout the region.
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 4th in the Cafeteria from 3:30-7:00 PM. Parents can come to the Café during that time to meet with their students’ teachers. No appointment is necessary, as conferences are held on a drop-in basis. Individual meetings will be conducted every 5 minutes, as indicated by the bell system in the Café. Parents anticipating the need for more extensive communication with a particular instructor are encouraged to contact the teacher directly to set up an appointment outside of conferences.
Please find attached information on the 1st Annual Passion for Christ Conference “What’s So Great About Being Catholic?” that will be held on Saturday, October 27th at Sacred Heart Cathedral in the Grand Hall from 1-5 PM. Mass will be at 4:00 PM in the Cathedral.
Picture retake day will be Tuesday, September 25th during lunches. Any student that did not get their picture taken at Registration, need to make sure they get that done during their lunch period. If there are any students that wish to have their picture retaken, please make sure you go to the small gym during your lunch that day. Remember Senior boys need to be in a dress shirt, tie and preferably a jacket. Senior girls will wear the black drape. Underclassmen all need to be in school uniform. It is an Out-of-Uniform day, so they will need to change in to a uniform top for their pictures.
If you have any questions, please contact Shelli Miller at ext. 200.

We have so many dedicated teachers at Assumption, and we want to provide snacks and drinks for them to enjoy during the upcoming Parent/Teacher Conference time on Thursday, October 4th, 2018. Conferences are in the AHS Cafeteria from 3:30-7:00 p.m. that evening, so water and treats can be dropped off in the Assumption Front Office any time that day or the day before. Thanks so much for your help and support of our teachers through the Knight Network parent organization!

Mrs. Lamp is looking for upperclassmen to participate in Academic Decathlon! Meetings begin October 5th!
Academic Decathlon is the premier scholastic competition for high-school students; it combines a Quiz Bowl competition with paper-and-pencil testing and presents students with a unique, interdisciplinary approach to developing skills. This AHS club brings together academics, communication, and teambuilding in a competitive framework that reinvigorates learning. Because each decathlete participates in all ten Decathlon events, students participating in the program enjoy a well-rounded scholastic experience that enables them to develop their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. Decathlon events include subject tests in eight academic categories (Art, Music, Economics, Literature, Science, Math, Social Studies, and Essay) and two interpersonal-skills events (Interview, and Speech).
Participating in Academic Decathlon requires once-a-week attendance at a 15-minute meeting. The club meets in Mrs. Lamp’s room on Friday mornings from 7:25 to 7:40.
There are two competition weekends: Regionals are held Saturday, January 26th, and State will be in March. If we should make it to Nationals, they are held in April.
Academic Decathlon encourages personal and academic growth, looks great on resumes, and doesn’t take a ton of time! If a Test-taking / Quiz Bowl competition sounds like an activity your student might enjoy, please encourage him or her to come to our first meeting!
