What’s Happening at AHS

April Knight of Gratitude Donation Drive

Posted on

We need your help!  Please consider assisting us with this year’s April Knight of Gratitude fundraising event.  In lieu of an auction and raffle, this year we are asking students to spread the good news about all we have to be grateful for here at AHS.  We are hoping they will offer friends and family members the encouragement to support our Catholic school mission through a tax-deductible gift to our school.  Please grab some of the available April Knight of Gratitude donation envelopes from either your Homeroom teacher or the Front Office.  We have so much to be grateful for here at AHS, and it is through the help of many that our programming is made possible!

Please see the attached poster for student incentives for donation collections.  Weekly grade-level out-of-uniforms and homeroom ice cream are on the table.  Additionally – one $500 grand prize winner will be drawn at the April Knight of Gratitude event on Wednesday, April 29, 6-9pm, at the Hotel Blackhawk Gold Room.

Thanks so much for assisting us with this effort!

Please click here to sign up to help!

Assumption parents and community members, please support our grade-level retreats! We are looking for donations of snacks and plateable desserts (homemade items are a real treat)! Also, new this year, we are seeking volunteers to pray for our students during their retreats. Adoration will be attended in the AHS Carroll Lab (next to the school library) throughout all retreat days. Please consider signing up for one or more time slots. Our young people need and benefit from our prayers!

The dates of the retreats are as follows:

Junior Retreat-Tuesday, April 28

Freshman Retreat-Wednesday, April 29th

Sophomore Retreat-Thursday, April 30th

Senior Retreat-Friday, May 1st

We are also in need of host families to house members of our visiting retreat team. If you have available beds at your home, please consider offering them to these amazing house guests! Please contact AHS Campus Minister, Natalie Imborek at natalie.imborek@assumptionhigh.org  with questions or to sign up to host.

Please also reach out to Natalie if you or someone you know would enjoy time spent as a retreat small group leader. We need helpers on all retreat days, and you do not need to volunteer for all days in order to participate in this way. This is a great opportunity for older siblings who might be in town and available.

Thank you so much for your support of our AHS community!
