Volume 5/Issue 42 Assumption Life June 5, 2024
Our Mission
We are Assumption Catholic School, a ministry of the Church of the Assumption. As a diverse community, we excel in academics and model Christ where each individual is safe, nurtured, respected, and treasured.
Together we pray
Dear God,
We come before You today with grateful hearts, giving thanks for the journey of our 8th graders and their families as they graduate from Assumption School. We ask that You bless them abundantly and grant them the wisdom, strength, and courage to navigate the path ahead. As they step into high school, help them to continue growing academically, spiritually, and emotionally. May they always be guided by Your light and remain steadfast in their faith.
Amen
Together we can
Eye to Eye
It isn't respectful (and doesn't work) to sit on the couch and yell at your child from across the room.
1) Stop whatever you are doing. Get up and get close enough to your child to see his or her eyes.
2) You'll notice that you speak more softly when you make the respectful effort to see your child's eyes.
3) Model eye to eye in your adult relationships.

Summer Help Needed
Assumption School is getting new desks, chairs, and tables for various classes! We are looking for parent volunteers to help us remove old desks, build new desks, chairs, bookcases, and tables, and place them in the classrooms! We will need some serious muscles and will offer early service hours for the 2024-2025 school year for the work! Sign up here and we will email details to confirm dates ... we are thinking Saturday, June 22 and Saturday, June 29 tentatively.

Dear Friends and Families of Assumption School,
Tonight, our Class of 2024 celebrates with their parents, faculty, and staff at their Annual Graduation Dinner Dance. This is a labor of love for our 8th grade parents who begin planning this Dinner Dance in September. Last weekend, when many of our families were enjoying the Cherry Festival (Best Float, anyone?), our 8th grade families using a secret theme transformed our normal school gym into a vision of celebration! This gift to our graduates can’t be done without the love and dedication of the parents of the Class of 2024. Pictures will be shared in next week’s Assumption Life!
Tomorrow, June 6, the Class of 2024 will mark their final day as Assumption School leaders and become Assumption School Alumni. They first rejoice in prayer and song at their Baccalaureate Mass and Honors Assembly at 10 a.m. in the church with the whole school. At 4 p.m., we return to the church for our Graduation Ceremony with friends, families, faculty, staff, and special guests. Both of these events are live streamed. Click here.
Graduates, we will miss you and wish you all the best in your high school life. Don’t forget to continue to be beacons of our Student Learning Expectations: Lifelong Learners, Active Christians, Effective Communicators, and Social Responsible Citizens.
Love,
Mrs. Lana Rocheford
Principal

Hey, congrats! You got to the end. Way to go! Fun Fact: Frank Epperson, an 11-year-old boy from Oakland, California, is credited with inventing the Popsicle in 1905. The story goes that Epperson left a glass of soda, water, and a stirring stick outside on his porch overnight, and when he found it in the morning, the soda had frozen into a solid icicle. Epperson then ran the glass under hot water and used the stick to remove the frozen treat, which he named the "Epsicle" and enjoyed with his neighborhood friends. As an adult, Epperson continued to make Popsicles for his own children.
