As we approach the end of this school year, plans for end-of-year activities are taking shape. In particular, our Knight Network Parent Organization has traditionally taken the lead on organizing our (11th and 12th grade) Post Prom event. We are looking forward to hosting this event beginning on Saturday, May 1st, at 11pm, and ending on Sunday, May 2nd, at 2:30am in the large gym. Parents of AHS students (any grade level) who are interested in being a part of this year’s Post Prom Committee, please email or call Shelli Miller at shelli.miller@assumptionhigh.org (563-326-5313 x 200). Thanks so much for your interest in supporting this fun event for our students! Parent involvement in any capacity is welcome and encouraged!

Assumption Literary Guild
Reading literature that supplements the required literary curriculum is a valuable extension of student learning. The Assumption Literary Guild allows students the opportunity to strengthen their reading abilities and enjoyment of reading through guided instruction that is both fun and functional.
Students wishing to participate in the Assumption Literary Guild may select books that interest them from a diverse list (provided by each English teacher). After reading a book, the student must set up a time to meet with the book’s assigned teacher during his or her office hours. (Students should email the teacher in advance to set up a date & time.)
The teacher and student will then conference together, one-on-one, and the student will be prompted with both specific and open-ended questions. Once the five-to-ten-minute conference is finished, the teacher will inform the student whether or not his or her conference has demonstrated knowledge of and engagement with the novel and earned a passing mark; if so, she will record one point for the book.
As of 2020/2021, each book conference is worth one point. (Note: Book conferences from 2017-2020 have been “grandfathered in” at their former value of 1, 2, or 3 points.)
Students who have earned three points by the May 1st of their senior year will be recognized at the Senior Honors and Awards ceremony as members of the guild! Seniors who have read 10+ books will be recognized as “distinguished members.” The senior with the most points will be recognized as “president” of the guild with a special certificate.
Assumption Literary Guild:
The AHS Prayer Group will move our prayer time to Thursdays @ 12:05 PM in the AHS Chapel…what a great way to spend your lunch break! This a unique and special prayer opportunity. Parents, grandparents, alumni, etc. are all invited. We pray for the students (each by name, one class per week), pray for the students’ intentions (prayer boxes are available in several of the teachers’ rooms), intentions for our entire AHS community, and then conclude praying the Rosary together. Come as you are and come when you are able and your schedule allows. Although many of you may work during the day and may not be able to join us, please know, we are happy to lift any intentions you may have and we ask that you remember our prayer gathering and join us in spirit.
