What a fantastic start to our day with School Spirit Day and Community Appreciation Day! 
Our students showed their pride in blue and yellow while coming together for a Vocations Prayer Service. 
Led by 8th graders: Claire, Inney, Madison, and Mia J, we prayed for our Ukrainian Seminarians and Diocese of Metuchian Seminarians and all those answering a call to serve in our Catholic Church. This meaningful service reminded our students of the importance of supporting vocations and lifting up those who are dedicated to living out their faith.

Next, we kicked off the day with a special breakfast to celebrate the wonderful people that make up our amazing ACS Community! Our special guests included Perth Amboy Police and Fire Departments, delegates from the Mayor Caba’s Office, the Knights of Columbus, Assumption Parish members including St. Ann, Holy Name and the Bingo Committee members! Our parish support is unmeasuarable and we are grateful for all their support to ACS! Each grade honored different groups—from our youngest students celebrating local heroes, to our older students welcoming community leaders. The fun continued with a Student Council Pep Rally, filled with games, relay races, and the exciting 8th-grade Hungry Hungry Hippo Challenge. And yes, our special guests joined in the games! WHAT’S OUR MISSION? TO KNOW, TO LOVE, TO SERVE GOD! The excitement of CSW Kick off filled our auditorium!
Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this day so special!
PK – Today the class made paper bag puppets of two of their favorite people, Sister Veronica and Father Ivan. At the end of the day they each colored their Catholic Schools week crowns to take home.
Kindergarten: Today the students made rainbow crosses to take home. They also colored “ We love our Catholic School and the students drew a picture of their school.” We then made hearts and wrote why we love ACS to hang on our classroom bulletin board. The students ended the day by coloring a “Thank You” picture for their parents. Kinder is always
First Grade: Today they colored their Catholic Schools Week worksheets and wrote about “Why We Love Our School”. We also did a “Share God’s Love” coloring sheet. Oh what fun!

Third Grade: Today, the students worked on a fun and educational activity to learn about the books of the Bible. They colored the Old Testament books in red and the New Testament books in pink, following the directions on a heart-shaped worksheet. This activity helped reinforce their understanding of the Bible while incorporating creativity and engagement.
