HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS STORE!
Merry Christmas, Assumption! The magic of Christmas Store is just a few days away! This week, on Wednesday, December 6th, students will be able to shop for their family and friends during the day. We invite all parents to come and shop at 2:00 pm and take part in the amazing raffle packages to be drawn at 3:00 pm.
This past week, students in grades PreK3 through 5th grade should have received an information letter with a gift list and money bag. Students in 6th through 8th grade should have received the information letter only. Be sure to send your child in that day with a sturdy shopping bag clearly marked with their name and grade along with their gift list and money bag. Below is the information letter for your reference.

Just as the older generation had to be educated about the dangers of smoking cigarettes, we are now in a place and time where our young people are faced with the challenges of VAPING. A new generation of nicotine addiction using e-cigarettes. We know that e-cigarettes are a better alternative then smoking but risks are present, especially to our youth. Come learn and talk about these risks.
Parents, please join us at Assumption on December 19, 2017 at 8:30 am to hear Donna O’Connor LCSW, LCADC and Lee Ann O’Leary LCSW give a talk entitled Knowledge is Power.
