Parents, the police called the school on Monday, December 19th.  They are concerned with the traffic in the morning at drop off. It seems that some cars stop right in the middle of the street to let their children out. This situation completely blocks the road, is a safety hazard, and hinders through traffic. The police will now frequent the area in the morning. Please do not block the street at any time. Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter.

Any Verizon Fios customers from either Grafton or Sutton, are able to watch the program on their local cable access channel.

I could use help trying to distribute a copy of the show to all the cable access channels in Grafton, Sutton, Northbridge and any other towns...I will try to get copies of the pageant to school so that maybe a resident of those towns could drop it off at their local channel locations.  Once they are dropped off, we can ask for the show to be aired but no promises...each channel may already have filled all its programming.

               Friday is a Release Day for us! We will dismiss at noon. Lunch will not be served. Busses will be available only in the morning, not at noon. There is no Extended Care in the p.m. 
 
              School resumes on Tuesday, January 3, 2012.  Salad will not be available on Tuesday, January 3rd or Wednesday, January 4th. Salad choices will be available starting on Thursday, January 5th. 

            Sr. Jeanne wishes to thank all the Assumption School students and parents for the food received at Thanksgiving. The donations were so generous that she was able to put more food baskets together. These extra baskets were distributed for Christmas! Thank you all ever so much. 

              There is no Wednesday Envelope going home today!

     Thank you to all who are observing the rules of the road and not forming a line on Grove Street. I appreciate it, the police appreciate it, and the neighbors appreciate it!
