The ACS Class of 2020 had a short lesson in history and social awareness when they helped prepare 100 lunches alongside our friends from Perth Amboy Catholic, the University of Notre Dame NJ Alumni Group, and NJ Troopers. The program is called “Sharing Lunches”. It benefits the Hogar Crea Treatment Center and the Center for Support and Success , both right here in Perth Amboy.

They experienced first hand the assembly line way of working. While they assembled sandwiches and filled the “Sharing Lunches” lunch bags, the class discussed what it must have been like to work doing the same job for 12 hours a day at the turn of the 20th Century.

Students also talked about the value of helping those in our community that may be in need of extra support. We are called to serve God by serving others; so, today the Class of 2020 worked together to hopefully make someone’s day just a little easier and happier. During this season of Lent what better way to give of ourselves then to do work of charity!

The First through fourth Grade students have been celebrating Read Across America all week with different activities during our D.E.A.R. time. Today when we “Dropped Everything to Read” we used our blankets and sat in a spot anywhere in the room to read for 15 minutes. The best part was using our flashlights to read! 

 

It was followed by our weekly Library Special when everyone was excited to select a book from the ACS Sister Yosephata Library.

Fourth and Fifth grade: Once again fourth and fifth graders came together for a Catholic Schools’ week event. This time it was delicious.

Middle school teachers treated their students to a delicious breakfast! The 6th through 8th grade enjoyed time to hangout with their friends and enjoy an hour of fun in the morning.

This Friday, the police officers, firefighters and EMS visited Assumption school in Perth Amboy, NJ as part of the school’s activities for national Catholic Schools Week. These heroic men and women live each day fulfilling the theme of this year’s theme for Catholic Schools Week that is Learn, Serve, Lead and Succeed. The good work they do is not often mentioned in the papers or on the evening news, but they are the unsung heroes of our communities. Thank you for your service and we ask God’s blessing and protection on each of you.
