Did you ever have fun playing a game of Jenga? Recently the third grade class was spotted playing a playground – sized game of Jenga after lunch on the playground. The STEM Club spent two afternoons putting a coat of polycrylic on the wooden blocks for protection. Then it was just put them outside for classes to play with.  Students had fun strategizing as to which block could be pulled without upsetting the rest of the stack. It took at least 10 minutes before the stack finally fell. Then it was time to go back to work in the classroom. Hopefully, students will have a great time with this game for many years to come.

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.

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.

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!
