Important Meeting -The Task Force began their meetings in April and met frequently to reach the goal set for completion by June 15^th so that a report could be presented to all parents and parishioners before the close of this school year.  The Task Force has met their goal and will join Father Cavanaugh to present the recommendations to all parents and parishioners of Assumption School and Parish on Wednesday, June 16^th at 7 p.m. in the church hall. We are confident that you will not only appreciate the work and findings of the Task Force but the outcome of their meetings and the future of our school.

Field Day – Will be taking place next Tuesday, June 15^th.  Sign up information will be found in the blue folder.  Parents are asked to find a tee shirt in the color that each child’s team is designated to wear.  Lunch will be provided but the children are asked to bring bottled water or a cup to get water from the thermos which will be in front of the school.

All Volunteer Hours and Fundraising Assessments need to be paid as soon as possible so all school books can be closed by June 30, 2010.  If you should have questions on your bill please call Mrs. Melody  860-649-0889

Tuition Assistance Deadline – The deadline to apply for Financial Assistance is June 10^th by 12:00 noon.  This deadline is so that parents can be informed of the amount of financial aid they will be receiving by June 17^th.  However, this does not mean that the applications for financial aid are over.  Families can still apply for aid when they register.  When FACTS returns the amount of aid determined, parents will then be notified of the amount of aid.  Once the amount of financial aid is determined this amount will be deducted from the tuition.

We would like to inform you of the great success of both the Auction & Wine Tasting and the Golf Tournament which was held last week. The

Auction raised  over $10,682.50 with a few small bills left to pay and the Golf Tournament raised $7,400.  Special thanks to Bethany White and Christine Mercier who chaired the event and their many helpers.  Also to Mr. Thomas Villandry and his committee which worked hard to make the Golf Tournament a huge success.

Great Lake Script The holidays and holydays are

over, but you can still buy script cards. You not only can fulfill your fundraising obligation, but can also earn money to be put toward next year’s tuition.  50% of the rebate you earn is applied to your fundraising assessment.  Once the $300 fundraising obligation is met, the remainder of your Great Lake Script rebate is applied to next year’s tuition.

Lower your Tuition Bill!  Here is just a reminder that one of our major goals is to increase enrollment.  The school board came up with this plan several years ago that can put money in your pocket and increase enrollment at the same time. $250 will be deducted from your tuition for any new family that you may get to enroll in Assumption School .  This program supersedes any other previous plan.
