Volume 28 Happy Easter! April 1, 2015�

Community Happy Easter! May you and your f ami l y be blessed with peace and life renewal. I encourage you to take this time for family; to live by Christ and his grace through prayer and spirituality. A few items necessary for you to know as we begin to complete our first year’s journey together. Monday, April 13 is the last day of Easter Break. Classes resume on Tuesday, April 14. On April 14, we will have a typical school day. The calendar states, International Day, this is erroneous. International Day will take place on Monday, April 27 (see flyer). The calendar also states that Wednesday, April 15 is Progress Report Day, this too is an error. Progress Report grade books close on April 17th and the reports will be sent home on Wednesday April 22. Lastly, we are very close to finalizing our 2015-2016 school calendar. Here are important dates that are already set for next year.August 21 - Visiting DayAugust 25 - First Day of SchoolAugust 27 - Back to School NightSeptember 25-27 - FestivalDecember 21 - January 4 Christmas Holiday BreakJanuary 5 - Classes resumeMarch 25 - April 1 Easter Holiday BreakApril 4 - Classes resumeJune 3 - 8th Grade GraduationJune 10 - Last Day of School

BalcluthaOur fifth grade class set sail on the Balclutha last Thursday and it was such a memorable experience for us all. I was very impressed with the crew/staff that ran the field trip; they were professional, explanatory, helpful, and even provided a bit of comic relief as well. While on the ship, the students, or “lads” worked on team building, leadership, and communication skills when performing their crews’ tasks. I was also impressed to see how well the fifth graders stepped up and tackled those difficult tasks, plus how well they were able to receive and carry out orders from the first mate and captain. The staff of the Balclutha praised our fifth grade class for working so well together and for being a great group of kids to work with! At the end of the trip I even heard some kids saying, “this was the best field trip ever”, and, “I wish we could stay an entire week!” The students truly transformed from ‘green hands’ (inexperienced sailors) to ‘salts’ (experienced sailors) overnight! -Ms. MoralesCYOIt's not everyday Assumption kids get to meet an Olympic Gold Medalist and WNBA All-Star, but that is exactly what happened last week. Two time gold medalist Ruthie Bolton (Team USA Women's Basketball 1996 & 2000) recently surprised our 6th grade girls basketball team at their practice, offering wisdom and sharing her story of perseverance. "Her life story was both challenging and inspirational, and I hope to have the opportunity to meet her again in the future," said Erzsabet Gonzalez. Ruthie Bolton scrimmaged with the girls, gave one-on-one basketball instruction, and graciously allowed team members to try on her gold medals and take a slew of photos. Thank you to Steve Manning (Gabi 6th) for helping to coordinate this visit.In girls basketball 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade teams all won their games over the weekend.FactsReturning families & students are now available for re-enrollment in the 2015-16 school year Pending Agreements Dashboard.

Boy O’ Boyd’s

• The name Easter derived its name from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eastre, which symbolizes hare and egg.

• The date of Passover is variable as it is dependent on the phases of the moon, and thus Easter is a movable feast.

• The custom of giving eggs at Easter time has been traced back from Egyptians, Gaul, Persians, Greeks and Romans, to whom the egg was a symbol of life.

• When it comes to eating of chocolate bunnies, the ears are preferred to be eaten first by as many as 76% of people.
