AHS Families

Family Cramily in the fall was AMAZING! It was so neat to see all the families sporting their colors! Of course Carlow was the best with their signs, foam finger, and each letter of Carlow attached to girls' shirts! It looked amazing. The energy in the gym was exciting and it was funny watching people participate in the events. It was so much fun, and as a family rep it was good to see how well everything turned out. ~Kelsey

At the Family Cramily event in the fall, the theme was AHS's version of a Harry Potter Tournament. We had quick change and over/under activities within our families and then with the whole school. The whole event was really fun, and every family showed spirit and support for their team. Even though my family didn't win, I still had a good time cheering for Tullamore. The teams for my family did pretty well overall, though I am sad we didn't win the Panera breakfast. We earned a pretty good number of points which is awesome! Hopefully we will get more points at other activities and win the overall house cup. :) Jaclyn

I love my senior sweat shirt because it's a tradition and senior privilege to wear a sweat shirt. The senior sweat shirts have always been the same since I can remember. Also it brings out the spirit in the class even more. I love my class and I love how excited we are for our last year at AHS. It's really sad to think this time next year we won't be here, our home away from home.

One thing I LOVE about Assumption is the spirit that our school has. Before I went here, I noticed how spirited and up-beat everyone always was at this school. No matter if it is dress up days, pep rallies, or family cramily, we are always having a blast at school. I especially enjoy the dress up days because it allows me to show my personality and get pictures with my friends that will last forever.

I love Yearbook at Assumption! It is my all time favorite class. Ms. Russo is the yearbook teacher and she is the best! --Amanda

The cafeteria at Assumption is one of my favorite places in the entire school. I love coming in early in the mornings so that I can go to the cafeteria and hang out with all of my friends. I also love the atmosphere in the cafeteria during lunch because it is so upbeat yet relaxed. During study it is very calm and quiet, so I have no trouble focusing. I love that when I am in the cafeteria, I can be with my friends, be myself, and have a great time, which is what Assumption is all about. ~Jennifer D.

What a great Walk Kick-Off Assembly it was this year and a great theme - Walkin’ in the Wild Wild West! It is going to be so much fun to dress up for the Walk! There will be a bunch of cowgirls walking around for such a great cause. A big hit was the incentive we could receive for raising $50,000 - being able to dress up for Halloween at school. The skits were great too, especially when the male Can-Can dancers came out. Altogether it was a big hit and great time too!

Club Fair 2009

Club fair is something I look forward to at the beginning of the school year. Being involved in clubs means a lot to me, and I can tell by the excitement of everyone else there that they enjoy them too. Coming to Assumption, I didn't realize there would be so many different ones to choose from with a variety that makes us stand out from other schools. At this fair, there are academic clubs, sports clubs, and ones just for fun. I enjoy all of them! I try to get involved in as many different ones as I can. Seeing all of the boards decorated and everyone eager to hear about them makes me even more excited for all the meetings to kick-off. Club fair is a good place to recognize all the opportunites Assumption has for us, and I definitely have realized that over the past couple years going here!

I had SOOOO much fun on Senior Strut day! My homeroom had "Penelope Pig," our senior mascot, and a few girls decided to tie her to me. She added to my outfit and drew LOTS of attention! I liked the theme being a PINK OUT, because we don't have our senior sweatshirts yet and it gave us a chance to make our presence known as seniors. I'm super excited about our next senior strut!!

**Editor's Note: Senior strut days are special dress-up days for seniors throughout the year. Each senior strut has a different theme, and the first for 2009-2010 was a pink out! Stay tuned for more senior strut day fun as the year goes on...

This year's senior class is the biggest class to ever go through AHS. Since we are the Class of 2010, and since we are so big, we call ourselves "The Big 10." It was one of my senior dreams to have more spirit and more senior attendence at different events around AHS, so we started a senior student section: "The Big 10 Pig Pen." We have a white picket fence with pink and brown paint splatters that we are taking to all of our "Pig Pen Events." We also have barrels of hay that we will take to some games as well.
The AHS vs. SHA field hockey game (in the Apple Tournament) was our first "Pig Pen Event" of the year. It was a PINK OUT and it was a HUGE success. It was supposed to rain the night of the game, so our turn out was not as big as we expected, but it was still amazing! We had so much fun and we were all really loud and really supportive of the field hockey Rockets. Everyone really came together to make it a great night and a great experience.
We hope the "Pig Pen" keeps its attendance and spirits up, and we hope it even increases!
GO ROCKETS!

Taking a Break...

Spring Break has come and gone, but summer is just around the corner! Here's what a few of our girls did during their week off...

To start off my spring break, I played a softball tournament in Bowling Green. Our AHS softball team played amazing the first game! We won 1-0. After our win, we went out to eat as a team. That was really fun and relaxing! Once we got back to the field for our second game, a tornado came so the whole tournament was canceled. Once we got home, I spent the rest of my break relaxing and babysitting my cousin Leah. We have matching AHS shirts, so on Tuesday we spent all day in them together!

-Cara

I went to Red River Gorge. After we packed up and were ready to leave, we couldn't get the car to back up. It turns out that the transmission went bad so we had to get towed. We spent four hours at a gas station in Mt. Sterling, KY waiting to be picked up. Other than that it was pretty awesome - we went canoeing, hiking, and even super-glued a shoe to the floor. :)

-Alaina

Well this year my Spring break was for the most part uneventful, but it did have its highlights. I saw Slumdog Millionaire, which was one of the best movies I've seen in awhile. I also saw I Love You Man, a comedy that recently came out. I had several money making opportunities, including house sitting and babysitting, which I definitely took advantage of because I was low on cash =] . I took the ACT on the second Saturday of Spring break, which is always a treat. And for the most part, that's my fun-filled Spring Break in L.A. (Louisville Area) =]

-Miranda

I went on college visits in St. Louis, Chicago, and South Bend, Indiana to Washington University, Northwestern University, Loyola University, and Notre Dame. Before and after getting really excited about college, my friends and I had a spa day complete with facials, pedicures, and a hot tub (for free because we did that at a friend's house : ] ), a bon fire in which we roasted marshmallows, and a movie night which included making homemade pizza and cookies!

I went to Melbourne, Florida to visit family. then i went to Dansville, Virginia to visit more family, some cousins I have never met before. We only got to the beach twice and went shopping everyday.
-Taylor

This spring break, I stayed here in Louisville. Although I wasn't laying out on a beach, I had so much fun with my friends (and I got some sun!). We went to Seneca Park a few times to hang out, swing, and get some exercise. Also, I went on a mini road trip up to Huber's Farm for lunch. But most of all, I enjoyed relaxing and not having very much to worry about!

-Stephanie

I didnt do anything over spring break but work and watch a lot of TV. LOL

-Lynsey

My friends and I stayed in Louisville. We went prom dress shopping, and my family and I went to Mammoth Cave.

-Lauren G.

I went and visited my grandma for 3 days. She lives in Florida.

-Hannah

I went to Destin and suntanned, parasailed, shopped, relaxed, etc. This is a picture of me on the parasailing boat.
