On Sunday December 7th, 2014 following the 9:00 AM and the 11:30 AM Liturgy, St. Nicholas made his annual visit to the children of the Assumption Parish in Perth Amboy, NJ. The event was held at the church hall, which was filled 65 excited youngsters with their families and friends. Prior to the St. Nicholas arrival, the children and their families participated at the Divine Liturgy. Before distributing his gifts, St. Nicholas encouraged all the children to be good, to obey their parents, to remember to say their prayers and to come to church on Sundays. The event was sponsored by the men from the Holy Name Society. We thank St. Nicholas for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit the children.

Third started backed to school with an art project that was anything but ordinary! A glyph is defined as a symbolic figure or picture. Students were tasked to create individual glyphs using symbols that represented answers to a set of questions. The questions included: How many children are in your family? What is your favorite subject? What is your favorite free time activity? How many pets do you have? Once the glyphs were completed each one was framed. Next, the students became super sleuths as they tried to discover the glyph’s true identity!

The Terrific Third Class of 2020 started the year by creating newspaper articles about themselves. With five new students to ACS, the articles gave students the opportunity to share with their classmates and build community.
