Jesus' Birthday Cake For many years now, Mrs. Geselbracht has been visiting Mrs. Sklaney's class at Christmas time. This year she presented for the whole 1st grade! Starting with a plain sheet cake, she decorates the cake while telling the story of Jesus' birth. What a wonderful tradition! |

Advent / Christmas Prayer Ascension’s fourth graders usually present the story of the lineage of Jesus for their classmates and parents before school dismissed for Christmas vacation. Using the gospel, the children portray the ancestors through whom God worked as He prepared the world for the birth of his son. Mrs. Ondrla, Director of Religious Education, coordinates the presentation with the 4th grade teachers, Ms. Rafa and Mrs. Murphy. |

This year, many stories were told separately, but they all came together with the birth of Jesus. Narrators read, and the actors themselves spoke their parts.

Our Wonderful Christmas Concert was December 9, 2009 Click the picture to see a slide show of the Concert. |
The students of Ascension School thrilled the audience that packed the church for their annual Christmas concert on Thursday. Children in grades one through three sang and orchestra students from all grades accompanied them and added pieces of their own to the program. The concert is one of the most exciting events of the year for the primary grades – and their families! |

The program is put together annually by Mrs. Creed, (center) Ascension’s music teacher and Mrs. Coffman, director of the strings program. Mr. Anderson, director of music for Ascension Parish, helps complete the evening each year by accompanying. |
