Today our Pre-K3 and Prek-K4 friends got some fresh air and "stumbled" upon a pumpkin patch that may have popped up in our Marian garden!

There will be a box in the entryway of school. You can send in prizes with the kids. We will also have boxes outside of the doors at pickup intermittently. We’ll let you know when a box will be there. 

The Assumption school students celebrated World Unity Day today. students were asked to write a positive affirmation on a leaf for display in our school entryway .

What’s way down yonder in the pumpkin patch ?? Assumption students!!!
It’s our trip to Jones’ Farm in Shelton. Students from kindergarten to Grade 3 enjoyed a beautiful fall day picking pumpkins, going on a hayride, learning about the lifecycle of a pumpkin, and of course, getting lost in the corn maze. Here are a few pictures of the second and third graders. Stay tuned for more pictures of kindergarten and first grade.

Today we celebrate our school namesake and remember the Assumption of the Blessed Mother! Remember to get to Mass today (it's a Holy Day of Obligation) and know that all of you are in our prayers as we prepare for a new year together!

Today is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary — a holy day of obligation. See you at Mass!

Holy Virgin, Holy Mother, assumed into Heaven, pray for us.

Assumption School continues to be blessed by the generosity of our friend and alum, Mr. Ray Ragaini. We thank Ray for his donation of student supply boxes, and we thank our friends at Staples for matching his donation! We are so thankful for your support!

Work has begun on the long-awaited project of re-grading and paving the main church and school parking lot and playground behind Assumption School. Depending on weather, it should take about 2 weeks and be completed before school starts. For weekend Masses next week and the week after, it may be necessary to use street and alternate parking. Updates will be given as work progresses.

Tonight and tomorrow night (6pm-8pm) we invite all current families in need of uniform items to come check out the uniform swap! If weather permits the swap will be in the back parking lot. Otherwise it will be held in the basement floor of the school. See you there!
