Assumption Catholic School will hold their  annual Christmas Bazaar and Gift Auction on Sunday, November 17, 2019. There will be a full kitchen featuring homemade traditional ethnic foods; wheels of chance and games; face painting and activities for kids; vendors and crafters; gift auction; and 50/50. Admission is FREE. Hours: 11am-5pm.  Over the years, this traditional event has brought our community together for a day of family fun and friendship. All proceeds of this fundraiser will go towards supporting school programs. Your support will allow the  purchase of many resources and add extras to enhance the learning environment at ACS. The FSA Festival Committee is currently soliciting donations from area merchants, parishioners and friends of the school. We are now collecting new and never used items for the gift auction. Please bring items to the church or school office. Any donation is greatly appreciated no matter how big or small! Come spend an enjoyable afternoon!

Mrs. Garcia’s Coding Club was loud and AWESOME!! About 25 students were creating music using Make Code – the excitement of creating a beat was exciting and could be heard throughout the school. Next week the group will be using Scratch and will acquire the skills to use our Sphero Robots. They can’t wait. Exposure to different programs and tech skills enables our students to build skills for the future and spark an interest in technology …. now if they can create a program to grade papers!

The Perth Amboy Fire Department visited ACS this morning to teach fire safety lessons. They talked to students about having a working smoke alarm, making an escape plan, and using 911 appropriately. Students watched and listened attentively as the firemen explained what their job is like, how they use their equipment, how the fire pump truck works and how to stay safe.Thank you Perth Amboy Fire Department for all you do for the community and our school.

What do ACS students do on a rainy Wednesday afternoon? Cooking club and Arts and Crafts club! Today the middle school made chicken meatball, rice and potato soup – Mrs. D’s special recipe and with Mrs. Pickering’s assistances. Their soup was delicious and they have one more recipe to add to their collection. Their next stop was Arts and Crafts with Miss Martinez and Mrs. Lawrence and they finished that fall projects and they look amazing! 21st Century Grant continues to bless our kids.
