IMPORTANT DIRECTORY UPDATE
Unfortunately the online directory is not being formatted as quickly as we had hoped, therefore we have decided to move forward this year with creating a paper directory like we have done in the past. Forms will be coming home on Monday. Please return the forms ASAP so that all children will be included in our family directory. You must update and sign off on any information on the form to reflect how you would like your information to be listed in the directory. Forms are due back to the office by Thursday, October 10th.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. Hopefully the online directory will be ready by the start of school next year.

(2) WINE PULL: TODAY is the deadline to have your name listed as a wine pull donor in our Ad Journal. Donations of wine will still be accepted after the 10/6 deadline, however, we will not be able to acknowledge your family in the Ad Journal after this date.
Please consider making an online donation of wine to our Wine Pull. Any type of wine is appreciated! The value of the wine should be NO LESS than $20 and as high as you wish. To simplify the process, order online from Cambridge Wine in Morristown and your donation will be delivered to the venue. Cambridge Wine will donate 15% of all online purchases back to Assumption School. Be sure to select “in store pick up” at check-out to avoid the delivery charges, however Cambridge Wine will still deliver the wine to the venue. If you prefer to purchase your wine elsewhere or donate from your home collection, please drop off wine to the school office. Under no circumstances should children be delivering wine to school.
