Keep up the good work class of 2018!

Assumption Catholic School’s FSA  is always looking for new fundraising ideas that can raise more money each year for our school. On Thursday, October 8, 2015  Mr. Sean R. Daly, President of FSA, Mrs. Sharon Leone, Fr. Ivan Turyk and our school Principal Mr. Michael Szpyhulsky   attended St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic School  Beefsteak / Tricky Tray in Passaic, NJ. It was a very well organized event with so  many fabulous prizes, too numerous to name. Many thanks  to St. Nicholas School parents and administration for being so welcoming to us. Fr. Ivan once again won the HDTV, which he plans to donated to the FSA sponsored Christmas Bazaar on Sunday, November 8th.

As part of second grade writing, the students used their creative writing skills to complete the following writing prompts “If I was a scarecrow” and “I like fall because”. The students have quite the imagination! Following the writing activity, they created their very own scarecrow to display their writing. Happy Fall!

ACS students from kindergarten through eighth grade arrived at the Woodbridge Bowling Center on Tuesday to begin a new year of bowling. Younger bowlers from kindergarten through the third grade bowled using bumpers that prevent them from bowling a gutter ball. Fourth graders had their first experience without bumpers. The older, more experienced students enthusiastically showed off their skills to some newcomers to the sport. If the first day is an indicator of the rest of the year, ACS is going to have a fun bowling season.

Today the students of Assumption Catholic School dedicated their monthly Rosary to Pope Francis.  Mrs. Lojko and our Sodality members led the children in prayer and asked our Blessed Mother to continue to keep him safe in his travels.

Fourth Grade students made posters for Back to School night. They wrote breaking news about their favorite places to visit, books to read and hobbies. They hang in the hallway for parents and classmates to see.

The Annual Back to School BBQ was amazing this year. The wonderful teachers of ACS served up about 160 meals to students and their parents. You guys are great! Thanks to our teachers, field trips will cost a little less.

To kick off the school year, the second grade class wrote about what they did over the summer “buckets of fun” and what they want to learn about this year “dig into learning”. They got to express their creativity by designing their very own bucket and shovel to display their writing. Many of them had fun summer adventures and can’t wait to learn new exciting things in second grade!

To help the students get to know one another they created an “All About Me” mini poster. Some of the topics included their birthday, favorite thing about school, what they want to be when they grow up and some favorites such as color, number, TV show, book, and animal just to name a few. Lastly they got to put a picture of themselves as a “Super Second Grader!” They were very eager to get to know one another and had fun sharing.
