Celebrating the Ascension
It's hard to believe it's been 40 days since Easter, but that number is significant in the liturgical calendar, and AHN's Campus Ministry commemorated the occasion on Thursday with the Mass of the Ascension. This marks the ascension of Jesus into Heaven.
We also congratulate our newly commissioned Eucharistic Ministers:
Mary Burke, Katie Desharnais, Gianna Lorusso, Sophia Miron, Maeve O'Brien, Julia Viglucci, Arabella Villegas, and Grace Zelig.

Record Number of Visits
What better way to celebrate a RECORD 105 shadow visits hosted than with 105 munchkins?!
Congratulations to Admissions Director Ann Rento and the Ambassadors Club on the impressive feat!

Everybody Do "The Hustle!"
There must be a bug going around, because it appears we’ve all got Disco Fever!
Mrs. Ladouceur’s 70’s class covered everything from style and art, to punk music and the Vietnam War, and Friday morning capped things off with Disco and desserts (including fondue) in The Riley Auditorium! Click the image to watch.

By Bernadette McSparron
At AHN, our advisory program is built on the belief that no student should fall through the cracks. It provides them with a consistent, caring adult who supports them throughout their school years, ensuring they are seen, heard, and valued. It’s not just a program—it’s a vital part of what makes our school feel like a community.
