KID CHEF – R U READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL

As there has apparently been a great interest in our club, we would like to offer another class in November.  This is a hands on instruction in the Assumption kitchen for students from grades 3rd – 8th grade.  Mrs. Sopira and Mrs. Guglielmo will share their culinary skills with you.  Each experience will focus on a particular food group and end in tasting the fruits of our labor!  Please see the Flyer for additional information.

CLAY STUDIO – HOLIDAY SESSION

Come spend Monday after-school at Assumption creating one-of-a-kind objects working in clay. Students will learn to use simple tools and traditional hand-building techniques as well as ways to impress texture into the clay. They will also strengthen their color and design skills as we glaze our pieces.

Please return this form along with your $65 check, for Peggy Davo, to the main office by Thursday, November 16th.  All supplies are included and firing will be done in my studio. A portion of your check goes to the school. Thanks!
