National Honor Society Inductions – October 26th

Posted on

Please join us for the National Honor Society Induction Ceremony on Wednesday, October 26th at 7 p.m. in the Sunderbruch Auditorium.  It will be our great pleasure to welcome the new junior and senior members to the Society – as well as celebrate our returning senior members.  Students should arrive at 6:30 p.m. and proceed to the gymnasium for instructions.  Students are encouraged to wear modest business casual attire.

The purpose of the St. Pius XII National Honor Society is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote leadership, and develop character in students.  After a review of the potential candidates based on the above criterion, new members are selected by the National Honor Society Faculty Council.  Inductees are encouraged to serve their community by offering academic assistance through peer tutorials, as well as engaging in a group service project.  New members will be alerted of their acceptance status on or before September 30th.  Please contact the moderator, Kelly Bush, at Kelly.bush@assumptionhigh.org with any questions. We hope to see you there!

Assumption Knight Players Present The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]

12 actors, all alike in dignity, in fair Sunderbruch Auditorium, where we perform 37 plays in 90 minutes! Join the Assumption Knight Players on October 14 and 15 at 7 PM and on October 16 at 2 PM for our fall play, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) [REVISED] [AGAIN]. The cultural touchstone that is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) was born when three inspired, charismatic comics, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance fairs, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy after a decade at the Criterion Theatre. THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) is one of the world’s most frequently produced plays and has been translated into several dozen languages. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, meant to be performed in 97 minutes. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. Admission is $10 at the door or online at ShowTix4U.com/events/78 , free with student activity passes.
