Dear Assumption Family,

I hope you enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday and took time to relax with family and friends before the rush of holiday shopping and the unofficial start of the Christmas season.

December 1 the HSA will host our time honored tradition of Breakfast with Santa.  This is a fantastic event for the entire Assumption family to gather, enjoy a great meal prepared by our Dad's Club, create crafts, and visit with Santa.



This event requires a lot of coordination and help. Please consider volunteering to set-up, run, cook, or clean up this event. All time will go toward your 10 hour volunteer commitment to the HSA. The volunteer link is below, all are welcomed to help make this event a great success. 


Many Blessings,

Steven J. Santoli
Principal
