April Knight Postponed

Posted on

Dear Assumption Family,

In light of the ever-changing conditions surrounding the coronavirus, we have decided to postpone this year’s April Knight. While we will all miss the opportunity to gather as a community in support of our great school, the health and safety of our Assumption Family must be our top priority. If you have already sent in your reservation, we will be in touch soon.

We are currently looking into options for a possible online auction and will keep you updated on any developments there. We are still planning to hold our Early Bird and Grand Prize Raffle drawings as scheduled. Please consider showing your support of Assumption while having the chance to win several great cash prizes by purchasing a raffle ticket or two! Our Early Bird Raffle drawing will be held as scheduled on April 15th, and our Grand Prize Raffle drawing will be held April 24th. You may purchase tickets via e-check here, or you may mail payment to school at 1020 W. Central Park Avenue, Davenport, IA 52804.

Unprecedented times present unique challenges for all of us. In times of uncertainty, family is there for each other, and our Assumption Family is no different. Thank you for your continued support of our mission through your support of April Knight. We look forward to being together again in the future.

One in the Spirit,
Andy Craig

Service Hours Opportunity – Census

Posted on

Assistance is needed in placing door hangers on apartments promoting the census.  The hanging period is designated for Friday, March 20-Monday, March 23.  There is no age requirements, but having some adult participation/supervision can be helpful.  Those placing hangers on doors are not interacting with anyone, they will just place the hanger and move on.

Please contact Ben Jobgen if you are interested in helping or have any questions.

Freaky Friday!

Posted on

Join us March 6th & 7th at 7:00 p.m., and March 8th at 2:00 p.m. for the Assumption Knight Players musical production of Freaky Friday!

When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.

Reserved seating on sale NOW at www.showtix4u.com/events/78. General admission tickets available at the door!
