Catholic Schools Week

Friday

Friday we wore sports apparel or fantastically mismatched clothing! Later, we dropped everything to dance.
The highlight of the day was the annual 8th grade versus Faculty Volleyball Game. (See the action in a slide show!) All part of the fun of Catholic Schools Week.

Can you believe Ascension School is turning 100? There are lots of activities planned, and lots of planning to do before our Kick-Off in June. You can read about some of the upcoming events on the Centennial Page and read more in the School Newsletter.
