STEM Leadership Day

September 24, 2015

Six ASH students recently participated in a STEM Leadership Conference at Assumption School. They learned about the engineering design process, were challenged with engineering tasks, and sharpened their leadership skills. The day was fun, interactive, educational, and competitive; students worked with one another to build the tallest building out of cards, the fastest cars made out of random Lego pieces, and an egg drop. Representing the Academy were Sean and Emily (8th Class); Claire and Alex (7th); and Abby and Charlie (6th). Great job, ASH team and Coach Mr. Putnam! Our gratitude to Assumption School and event organizers for providing this opportunity.

Care of Creation

September 1, 2015

Pope Francis has designated September 1 as a Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. In a letter announcing the Day of Prayer, the Pope said,

“The annual World Day of prayer for the Care of Creation offers to individual believers and to the community a precious opportunity to renew our personal participation in this vocation as custodians of creation, raising to God our thanks for the marvellous works that He has entrusted to our care, invoking his help for the protection of creation and his mercy for the sins committed against the world in which we live. The celebration of the Day on the same date as the Orthodox Church will be a valuable opportunity to bear witness to our growing communion with our orthodox brothers.”

Alumni Gifts Provide Enhancements to Shrine

August 28, 2015

While so much was happening outdoors this summer to transform our campus and the entrance approaches, parking spaces and play areas, some wonderful things were happening close by in the Shrine of St. Philippine Duchesne. As part of the five-year plan undertaken by the Alumni Association in anticipation of the Bicentennial in 2018, one of the needs identified by the administration (and certainly by the Shrine Director) was a way to accommodate pilgrims who arrive at a time when no volunteer docent is on duty.

Open House

August 17, 2015

We look forward to seeing all of our families this evening at Open House! Drop by to meet your child’s teacher and reconnect with Academy friends. We ask that you enter through the White Center, where representatives from the following will be on hand: the Cafeteria, School Nurse, Early Arrival/Late Dismissal, Extracurricular Clubs and Activities, Athletics, Development Office, Mothers’ Club, Innisbrook Wraps, and Country Fair.

Unfortunately, the Slice of the Hill food truck that was slated to be here has a broken generator, and will be unable to serve food as planned. However, the Kona-Ice truck will be here, serving sno-cones. (Look for them outside White Center near the loading dock.)
