Dear Assumption Families,

Every Christian, and especially you and I, is called to be a bearer of this message of hope that gives serenity and joy: God’s consolation, his tenderness toward all. But if we first experience the joy of being consoled by him, of being loved by him, then we can bring that joy others. This is important if our mission is to be fruitful: to feel God’s consolation and to pass it on to others!

-Pope Francis, Homily, June 29th, 2013

Pope Francis clearly expresses the churches teachings that our purpose is to be a reflection of God’s love to those around us. Pope Francis has often expressed this belief and this particular Homily resonates with me as it ties closely with Assumption’s mission. Assumption’s Student Learning Expectations (LOVE) are modeled after this belief. The O in LOVE stands for Others First. In partnership with our families,

Assumption teaches students to live God’s teachings, and to be a reflection of Jesus to others. I am proud of our community, our teachers who guide our students, our families who support this mission, and our students who consistently meet our expectations. Go Hawks!

We would like to earn another check for at least this amount but we desperately need your current Box Tops for Educations coupons located on many items we all use every day. Please check with your friends, neighbors and relatives and send these great little 10 cent coupons to school.
