In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, Knight Network will provide lunch for our faculty and staff on Wednesday, May 9th. We are asking help from Freshman and Sophomore parents for this event. Knight Network funds will be used to purchase sandwiches, and we are asking for supplementary donations. Water and treats can be dropped off in the Assumption Front Office by 10:00 a.m. Wednesday or any time Tuesday between 7:30 and 3:30. Thanks so much for your help and support of our hard-working school employees through the Knight Network parent organization!

National Speaker: Silent Strength – April 26th and 27th – All are welcome!
National speaker Doug Reavis will share his Silent Strength presentation with Assumption students on Thursday, April 26th, from 12:30-2:00 in the Assumption Auditorium. A parent presentation will be held that same evening from 6:30-8, also in the AHS auditorium. Please encourage any members of the Assumption Family and beyond to benefit from this powerful, and personal story of faith. The Silent Strength message centers on kindness and, in faith-based settings, seeing God in every other person. It has been said that Mr. Reavis gives the best anti-bullying message out there without ever using the word “bullying.” Assumption is excited to host all 6th-8th grade students from the Catholic elementary schools for a middle school presentation on Friday, April 27th, from 12:45-2:15. Please mark your calendars to attend this great parent opportunity, and invite a friend (or several) to join you! We can all benefit from the inspiration this presentation has to share.
