Gift Auction
Happy Spring! The Fashion Show Gift Auction is kicking off another exciting season! We are doing things a little differently this year because of the new pick-up procedures. Instead of a lobby display, you will find all of our items online. The registry is fully stocked with lots of fun ideas. You can donate a single item or go in with a group for a one-of-a-kind package! The registry is a great way to customize your donation and make it unique! Thank you in advance to all our Assumption Families for their support.
Once you have made a purchase from the registry, please be sure to download and fill out a donation form and send it into school with your child marked “Attention Gift Auction.” The form can also be found in the school office.
Please feel free to contact a Gift Auction Committee member with any questions.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Roar VBS will be hosted at Assumption Church from August 5 to August 9. At Roar, kids discover that God is good even when life gets wild. Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, make and devour yummy treats, experience one-of-a-kind Wild Bible Adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of God’s love, and test out Sciency-Fun Gizmos they’ll take home and play with all summer long. Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes with the Safari Celebration that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned.
Roar is for kids from pre-k 4 to grade 3 (fall 2019) and will run from 9 to 11:30 a.m. each day. Teen volunteers must be in grade 6 (fall ’19) or older. Online registration at https://assumptionparish.org/vacation-bible-school opens April 28.
