ACS finally received their 12 new Anywhere Carts and everyone was super excited! We now have a safer (and less bulky) place to store our chromebooks and chargers. We always plan the use of our funding with students and teacher’s needs in mind. We feel so incredibly blessed.

Project Based Learning 🔥 5th grade!!
The 5th grade students did a fantastic job completing and presenting their Math “Pick A Project”. Students were able to select one of the three project choices and were then placed in a group to work together to complete the project. One group selected the bouncy ball project and had to come up with a business plan, another had to design a prototype ferry and several decided to build forts. The projects all related to concepts in the current topic and activated prior knowledge. They worked together in groups sharing ideas through the planning stage, all the way to the presentations. They can’t wait to complete the next one!!

A blessed Feast of Theophany to you!
The feast day of Theophany was commemorated at the Assumption Parish with the Divine Liturgy and the blessing of the waters at the end of the service. In his homily Fr. Ivan said that water is an essential and powerful element in our life and we Catholic Christians believe that the holy water, combined with faith and prayer, can heal those who drink it and cleanse people from spiritual impurities. After the blessing of the water ceremony, Fr. Ivan walked around the school with a small group of 8 grades students and blessed each room with holy water and offered a blessing to students and staff. Some students even had a chance to use Father’s Sprinkler and bless their classmates with the holy water. He also asked students various questions about Feasts of Christmas and Theophany and was very pleased by their answers.

School’s 2021 Christmas Concert.
Our students worked diligently with their music teacher, Miss Lawrence, to create this beautiful program. Their happiness, their love, and their excitement was showcased and the true meaning of the Christmas season was portrayed.
The last time we were together was December 2019 and although that doesn’t seem like that long, we all know it has been a difficult couple of years. We stand proud of the work that the teachers and staff have done and continue to do daily. They are passionate about their profession and during this pandemic have shown that Catholic Schools have been able to get the job done. We have kept our children on grade level, continue to offer them a safe space and opportunities to express their thoughts, and have shown them to trust in God’s plan.
The show was dedicated to all the parents, guardians and extended family members who support our students and our mission at Assumption Catholic School – to know, to love, to serve God.

Eighth Grade Ring Ceremony

Ring Ceremony is one of the most memorable events for 8th grade students. The class rings were blessed after the Liturgy by Fr. Ivan Turyk and presented to the graduating students by the school’s principal, Mrs. Lissette Shumny. During his homily, Fr. Ivan spoke about the symbolism of the rings and the Principal expressed how proud she and the eighth grade teacher Mrs. Pickering were of their soon-to-be graduates. After posing for a group picture, students and their families enjoyed a small breakfast celebration in the church hall.
