What makes Ancillae-Assumpta a special place?
 As part of Catholic Schools Week, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on how thankful we are to be a part of such a special school community. Ancillae-Assumpta’s unique culture is led by the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Would you take a moment to tell us what this means to you? Why do you feel Ancillae-Assumpta is such a special place?

It's a Reading Celebration!
The Scholastic Book Fair (January 31st-February 7th) enables families to purchase wonderful reading materials while supporting Ancillae’s library. 25 cents of every dollar you spend at our Book Fair goes directly to the Fiat Library. With last year’s profits, the school purchased almost $4,000 of award-winning books for all grade levels and reading abilities. Through your generosity, we also added 171 books to classroom libraries and donated 125 books to the library at the Handmaids’ Mission in El Salvador in 2011. When you visit the Book Fair, please look for the books your child’s teacher has requested for his or her classroom.
Please check the schedule to find out when your child will preview the fair during the school day. Children are welcome to make a purchase at that time, or you may wish to visit the Book Fair as a family. For your convenience, the Book Fair accepts credit cards.
