BINGO Players Needed!  Please join us at the Assumption Church Hall every Tuesday from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm for a fun evening of Bingo.  Although Bingo does not begin until 6:30 pm, the doors open at 4:00pm, and the kitchen at 5:00pm.  Before the game, you can try one of Bob’s famous burgers, or Romeo’s hot dogs.  In addition, coffee, tea, sundaes and cookies are also available.  Please bring your family, friends, and neighbors.  The proceeds are donated to the Assumption school and are used to support Catholic Education.  If you have any questions, please contact Romeo Dube at 646-1326, or R.Dube1@cox.net.

       COFFEE...COFFEE – We are looking for one or two volunteers to make the coffee for Tuesday night’s bingo.  It takes about ½ hour of your time.  It can be done anytime between 1:00pm and 4:00pm.  It can be done before or after you pick up your children or whatever time you feel is convenient.  If you know someone who would team up with you, rotating weeks would be great.  Please call the school office 649-0889 if you would like to take on this bingo project.  This also counts toward your volunteer hours.

      Child Lures Program – The Child Lures program for parents will take place tomorrow night, Thursday, April 3^rd starting at 6:30pm in the church hall.  All parents are encouraged to attend.

Thank You Very Much!  I would like to express my sincere thanks to Kathy Pavan, the chairperson for the auction & wine tasting committee, and all the committee members, for all the time and hard work they put into creating a very successful evening.  I believe a great night of fun with family and friends was had by all who attended.  Special thanks to Debra Strigun and Marcia Jehnings for the hors d’oeuvres and marvelous desserts!

JA for A Day – I would like to thank our volunteers for spending the day with our junior high students on March 25^th and presenting the JA for a day.  This was the first year the program was presented at the East Campus and the students enjoyed the day and their grade level topics. Special thanks go to: Mr. Patrick Joyce, Mr. Tom Villandry and Mr. Steve Pedneault for sharing their time and talents with our students.

     Accreditation – The long awaited accreditation team will be coming to Assumption School on Sunday, April 6^th.   We are asking for parent volunteers to come to school on Saturday, April 5^th from 10am to no later than noon at both campuses.   During this time parents will lend a hand to help prepare the classrooms for the visit.  Things such as dusting, straightening bookshelves, and cleaning windows are some chores that would really help the teachers.  The teachers would be very thankful for any help you can give.  All time given will count toward the volunteer hours.

Gym Uniforms for Spring:  If you don’t have or foresee needing gym shorts for your spring gym uniform, please order them now as they are on back order.  I will be placing a special short only order on Friday, April 4^th.  Please keep in mind, when the year end approaches to get your orders in for the 2008 – 2009 school year.  Thank you for your cooperation, Tish Boyle, @ 533-9731.

Dental Health Month – On Thursday, April 11^th Kevin H. Norige, D.M.D. is offering his services to our students on dental health in a fun and interactive format.  He brings his friend “Roo” (a talking kangaroo), and “George” (his friendly skull) and other information to help children make the best dental health choices.  He will be providing two free presentations to our PreK and Kindergarten classes and then Grades 1 & 2.  We are most grateful for his offer to work with our children.  I’m sure it will not only be very informative but also very entertaining for our children.

Military Cookie Update – The girl scouts have been working diligently since February 15^th in selling cookies to meet their goal of $1,542 boxes of cookies for the military.  They have just 53 more boxes to sell in order to meet their goal.  If anyone would like to help out and purchase more cookies please call Kate Hohenthal @ 643-6336.

During the cookie sale at Sam’s Club the girls received this following message from a veteran:  A man came up to the Girl Scout cookie booth at Sam’s Club and handed in $40 for cookies.  He said when he had been in Iraq he had received Girl Scout Cookies. “You’ll never know how much it meant to me to receive those cookies, so now I want to help others to have the cookies.” Let’s help get those last 53 boxes of cookies!
