Good morning Assumption families – hoping everyone enjoyed the May long weekend! Please see below for some items of interest from Assumption C.S.S.:
Relay for Life Auction and Other News:
Assumption is readying itself for our Relay for Life this Thursday, May 23. As a school we are hoping to raise in excess of $50 000.00 for cancer research and are hoping that our silent auction can help us realize that goal. Please click HERE to browse our list of auction items.
DEADLINE: 11:59 p.m. May 22, 2024
Note: A majority of our students will be participating in the Relay for Life. On May 23rd, Period 1 will run as normal. Students will start to get called out of period 1 to begin the Relay for Life. The schedule for the remaining school day will be various department-led study halls for students not participating in the Relay for Life. This will be the opportunity for students to work on upcoming assessment tasks and prepare for culminating activities and final exams with teacher supervision.
