Day 2 of Catholic Schools Week was an amazing celebration as we continue to showcase all that makes Assumption Catholic School special! Today, we hosted our Special Person Breakfast for all grades, wore our favorite team jersey and started with our Honor Roll ceremony. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends joined their special student in their classroom, where they created beautiful crafts together and enjoyed delicious muffins and bagels. It was a wonderful time for students to show off their classrooms, share their joy, and create cherished memories with their visitors. Events like these highlight the heart of Catholic Schools Week—faith, community, and connection!
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
A big thank you to Francisco Family Farm for bringing some of God’s beautiful creatures for our students to enjoy! The bunnies, chickens, rooster, and the cutest goat we’ve ever seen brought so much joy to our day!
We are also so deeply grateful for the support and partnership of the Knights of Columbus San Salvador Council #299. Their dedication shines through especially in events like today’s Basetball Free Throw Contest for grades 3-8. It provides such a wonderful opportunity for our students to have fun, showcase their skills, and build community! Thank you Knights!

Pre-Kindergarten: What a fun filled SNOW day for PK! Their day started with learning about how a snowman is like the Holy Trinity. The students color and attached the pieces of the snowman to show the Trinity, the snowman’s head represents God the Father, his middle is for God The Son and the bottom is for God the Holy Spirit. Next, they did a fun experiment where they created a snow storm in a jar. Each group added water mixed with white paint to baby oil and then dropped in alka seltzer tablets to trigger a bubbling snowfall. They were absolutely amazed with it and wanted to do it again and again. Next, the group’s hands got cold as they made actual snow that they were able to make into snowmen, animals, castles and more. Now if that wasn’t enough, after lunch the students were surprised with a real snow storm in our classroom. The students jumped right in to enjoy the falling snow with their friends.
Kindergarten: Today they made snow globes out of tumblers. The students were able to choose two glitter colors and no surprise, many chose the school colors. Then they ended the day having a snowball contest. The students were very happy with today’s activities and they can’t wait for tomorrow’s fun crafts!
First grade: Our first grade class enjoyed their Special Person very much! They ended their afternoon with a craft, game and a little movie time!
Second grade: Second grade had a fun filled afternoon creating a collage showing all they love about ACS. They ended the day with a movie.
Third and Fourth grade: We had a wonderful morning with our special persons. We read our CSW essays to our visitors and told them why we love ACS. We also enjoyed coloring a cross and playing Bible Bingo together.
5th Grade: Our 5th-grade class had a wonderful time celebrating together. In addition to all the morning activities, they had a delicious nacho party. We filled our day with faith, fellowship, and fun!
6th grade: We enjoyed our fellowship all day today. We loved spending this morning with our special people and crafting beautiful crosses with them. Continuing our day visiting the petting zoo and taking part in the free throw contest brought us even closer together as a class. We spent our afternoon polishing up our CSW essays – who will read it aloud on Friday?
7th grade and 8th grade: Our classes came together with our guests to create our crosses. We were able to connect with one another thanks to this combined group! AND let’s not forget our breakfast delivery coordinators, this morning would not have been a success without you!
