Today, October 1st Assumption Catholic Community celebrated this Feast with a special Children Divine Liturgy. After the reading of the Gospel, Fr. Ivan offered a homily in which he spoke about Blessed Mary’s veil and the effectiveness of the Heavenly Mother’s prayers. Prior to the Liturgy, the Principal Mrs. Shumny presented certificates to Students of the Month!

This year the ACS middle school students have begun using a new science textbook and curriculum. Students will be doing more investigations, hands on activities and labs to learn about phenomena that exist in their surrounding world. This update will adequately prepare them to become even more inquisitive in the world of science.

Late delivery at ACS!
Late delivery at ACS! Our new Pre-kindergarten materials are finally in. Science kits, reading materials AND instruments! The teachers had to try them out …. nothing like a little music to end a very busy day.
Kickoff to our first of three MAP tests!
We let all our ACS students know that this school wide assessment gives each teacher a road map to plan the curriculum and make sure they have all the tools to succeed! We prayed together that we just try our best and God will lead the way.

Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord.
On September 10, the Assumption Catholic School students, faculty and teachers excitedly gathered for their first Divine Liturgy (Mass) together. Upon entering, much to their delight, the new students discovered the splendour and beauty, majesty and magnificence of the parish church. As the sunlight filtered through the beautiful stained-glass windows, the atmosphere of the prayer was magical and very spiritual. Fr. Ivan blessed rosaries and encouraged all students to pray to the Blessed Mary who os the patron of ACS. At the end of the worship, the Principal Mrs. Shumny recognized students who helped around the school during the summer break.
Wonderful end to the first week of school!
The first day of Pre-K and K
The first day of Pre-K and K can be bittersweet for parents and their children, but there were a lot of smiles and YES a lot of crying as Assumption Catholic School teachers today welcomed Pk/K through 4 grades students into classrooms.
