St. Mary of the Assumption School is celebrating 100 years of educational excellence. For the Centennial, we are sponsoring this Brick Fundraising Project to benefit the school. Proceeds from this project will give back to the school and to our families through teacher development, school infrastructure, and student scholarships.

St. Mary of the Assumption is selling Christmas ornaments to celebrate our centennial year! The ornaments are $25 can be billed through TADS.

$5 will be donated through TADS for students dressed out of uniform. The HSA will be judging Christmas Sweaters, and there will be one winner per class! Students may dress out of uniform in anything that they choose if they do not want to participate in the contest.

The silent auction is open now! Feel free to bid, and even purchase the "buy now" items! If you "buy now" you winnings can be picked up in December at the school office. Our goal is to have 200 bidders online or in person, so please log in and spread the word! https://www.32auctions.com/SMA2025
