Accreditation –  The Assumption School faculty and staff would like to thank you, the parents for all of the help and understanding that you have given us during the last two years as we worked on the accreditation process.  At this time the visiting committee has completed there evaluation of our school and we now await the results of their visit.  We are very confident that all of our recommendations and commendations will continue to make Assumption School the place we have all grown to know and love.

What a Show it was!  I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Mr. Chris Munzu and Mrs. Bolduc for helping our students put on a fabulous talent show. Our students put on very enjoyable talent show which provided us with a lot of laughs and musical enjoyment.  Thanks also to Sean & Maggie Munzu for providing the entertainment between acts.  Next year we hope to have more student and parent involvement. 

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.

       Celebration of the Arts – Celebration of the Arts will be taking place on Ascension Thursday, May 1^st.  Again this year the program will be held at St. Bartholomew’s parish starting with the band program at 6:30 pm followed by the choral program.  The children’s art projects will be displayed in the school hall for viewing both before and after the program.  More information on this program will follow.  The students from grades K – 5 will spend the entire day at the East Campus as we did last year.  Information sheets can be found in the blue folders today.    

Gym Uniforms –There will be only one more order placed for gym uniforms this school year.  This order will be placed on April 30^th, to be received mid May.  Please keep in mind, as the year end approaches to get your orders in for the 2008 – 2009 school year.  There will be a try on day for next year’s gym uniforms.  Keep reading your newsletters for a date!  Thank you for your cooperation, Tish Boyle, @533-9731.

Summer Uniforms – When we return from vacation the students will be able to wear their summer uniform.  Please check page 31 in the handbook for proper uniform attire. 

Fundraising Assessments – We realized that summer camp assessments were inadvertently left our when fundraisings totals were calculated.  If your child attended summer camp, your total will be adjusted and new bills will be sent out.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Little Caesars’ – Our eighth grade class is having a Little Caesars fundraiser.  All proceeds will go to the eighth grade class for their graduation activities.  All orders are due tomorrow, April 10^th.  The orders will arrive on April 21^st.  Parents need to pick up orders from 7 – 8 pm from the garage at the church hall.  Please be sure to pick up your orders as freezers are not available for orders not picked up.

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.
