High School Admissions Success |
Congratulations to the Class of 2010! One hundred percent of our eighth graders were accepted into Catholic high school, and all will be going to their first choice school. Two thirds of the students who took the test qualified for honors classes. Scholarship money is still forthcoming, but so far the Class of 2010 has been offered $78,500.00. What an amazing accomplishment!

 Sixth Grader Jack Flanagan was Principal for a Day on February 4th.
As a part of his duties, he met with Emerson's Mayor Louis J. Lamatina and Chief of Police Michael Saudino during the Service Breakfast for Seniors and other members of our community. 
Flanagan's crowning achievement was declaring a "no uniform day" on Friday--an announcement that met with considerable cheering as a busy Catholic Schools Week wound down.

 Bergen County Executive, Dennis McNerney, presented Assumption Academy with a Proclamation naming this week, officially, Catholic Schools Week. McNerney, himself a graduate of St. Joseph's School and Bergen Catholic, met with 4th-8th grade students on Tuesday afternoon. He credits his Catholic education for instilling in him a lasting devotion to public service. McNerney also invited our students to visit Van Saun Park with a Free Pass that was given to each of them.
Thank you, County Executive McNerney for your valuable words and well wishes!

 One of the beloved events in the Catholic Schools Week line-up is the Grandparent's Breakfast. Tuesday morning, Grandparents and Special Guests joined the students for bagels, pastries and coffee.
They were escorted to the cafeteria by members of the seventh grade and later toured the school with their school-aged guides.
During the breakfast, all were entertained by the Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders who sang and danced to "This Land is Your Land" and a fiesty Valentine's tune. The entertainment ended with a sweet song about the unconditional love of grandparents--something well acknowledged on this day.
