ASSUMPTION SCHOOL FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN

And the winner is…
…TED MERRILL of Randolph, NJ!
Congratulations! We are so excited for you! Thank you for your support!
Thank you to ALL our current families, friends and neighbors, aunts and uncles, grandmas and grandpas, our amazing alumni family …anyone and everyone that purchased a Grand Raffle ticket! We appreciate your support and generosity this year more than ever!
Our goal for this year’s fundraiser was to reach $75,000. While it was a mighty goal to reach, we had faith in this amazing community here at Assumption.

On behalf of your co-chairs, the teachers and staff, and our amazing Principal Sister Merris, thank you for all your support in making this fundraiser the success that it was!
