A Big Thank You to FSA!

Assumption Catholic School has a very active FSA which gives tremendous support to the school by arranging social functions for children and parents, and a wide range of fund-raising events for the benefit of the school. Tonight we had a very long 7-10 pm meeting and discussed the final report of our Christmas Bazaar and plans for our future school’s events. Thank you to all the members of the FSA board who worked so extremely hard to organize the Bazaar. This would not have been possible without your support. The accounts for the Christmas Bazaar are now finalized and we are very pleased to announce that we made ……… Come to the next FSA meeting in February to find out how much we made.

Classroom Blessing 2019

The Feast of the Holy Theophany is celebrated each year on January 6 and commemorates the Baptism of Christ and the divine revelation of the Holy Trinity at the river Jordan. On this very special feast, people traditionally attend a prayer service where the priest blesses regular water into holy water during the “Blessing of the Water” ceremony. This year, after morning Liturgy Fr. Ivan walked around the school and blessed each room with a sprinkle of the newly blessed holy water. He was accompanied by a small choral group lead by 8 grade students who beautifully sang a Theophany hymn. In each class, Fr. Ivan asked students various questions about the feast and was very pleased by their answers. The pre-k students papered a special art work depicting the scene of Christ’s Baptism. Some of the kindergarteners had a chance to use Fr. Ivan’ sprinkler and bless their classmates with holy water.

Student Council News

It was a busy week before Christmas for members of ACS Student Council. The group sponsored a coloring contest as well as an ugly sweater contest. So many students wore their craziest hat and ugliest sweaters that it was almost too hard to choose a winner! In the end Blake S. of grade 3 and Kiera O. grade 5 stood out among the rest!
Congratulations to all participating students. 
Choosing a winner among the pictures entered for the coloring contest was a little easier. One student from each class was chosen as the outstanding entry for their class. Student Council is already making plans for Catholic Schools Week fun. So watch for reports on future activities.

3D Shapes

The children have been busy learning to identify, compare and create 3D shapes. Despite the difficulty of the subject at any age, the kindergartens were successful in understanding and building their own shapes. By using simple items such as play doh and sticks, the children used their hands to learn and build a something all on their own. The experience was educational, fun, and left the kindergartners with a lasting memory of their first architectural structures! Keep succeeding kindergartners, we are all very proud of your progress so far!
