Hi, ho, hi, ho, it's off to work we go......let's do this!!! Happy Build Day Assumption!!!

The Clock Is Ticking!!

To our supporters and followers,
We at Assumption Catholic School would like to take a moment and reflect on all that we (being our community members, parents, students, teachers...EVERYONE!!) have done up until this moment. We've been knocked down and risen, again and again, and here we are getting prepared for our final BIG day, all thanks to you!!!! Seriously...you have done an amazing job...it's astonishing what people can do when they get together for the greater good....we thank you. We would also like to thank the committee members for their blood, sweat and tears!!! Tomorrow is going to be a fantastic experience...and we just can't express how excited we are to see the look on our children's faces....wish us luck sleeping tonight!!
With loads of love from our hearts to yours
XOXO

What happened on Friday...

Assumption received $4,000 in less than 30 minutes and we found out we got cement!! Yahoo!!!
Thank you to you all! Like we've said in the past, there is NO way we could have done this without you!!!

Thank you Invaders!

What a great evening of fun and fundraising!!!  The Invaders sponsored 3 buses for all of our parents and students to attend a football game last night (June 2) and yes, with DIVINE intervention, the rain held off!!!  Our students sang the National Anthem and welcomed the team onto the field - what a privilege.

Not only did the Invaders win, but we also raised $242 - the half-time activity consisted of making a paper airplane and aim at a target on the field during half-time!  What a great idea!  Each paper cost $2...this was generously coordinated by the Invaders team - 

All parents and students LOVED their evening and went home, happy and tired....
