Spirit Week

Everyone has been so spirited this past week! Each day from January 24-28, students dressed up in different attire. Some of the themes were Glitter Day, Decades Day, and Class Color Day. I was looking forward to dressing up as a "dude" on Wednesday, but I also enjoyed the unexpected snow day!
A perfect end to Spirit Week was the Homecoming Dance on Saturday, January 29. The theme of the dance was the Oscars. Many students dressed up like their favorite celebrities. The infamous Snooki, Barbie, Michael Jackson, and many other celebrities made appearances at the dance. We had a new DJ so the music was great! It was also a lot of fun because a few of us have girls staying with us for 5 weeks from Argentina! They enjoyed the experience. I would definitely say that the dance was a success!

Spirit Week at Assumption was January 24-28. It consisted of having a different theme every day. Spirit Week also allowed us to do spirit chains and hall decorating. The juniors won hall decorating by decorating the halls in yellow! The seniors won the spirit chains this year. The theme days were glitter day, dude day, and decades day. It was a fun week that was well put together. everyone had a lot of fun showing off their school spirit!

I absolutely loved Spirit Week! It is one of my favorite weeks all year. This year we had glitter day, dude day, decades day, and class color day as part of Spirit Week. Decades Day was definitely my favorite because the juniors dressed like we were from the 80s and we all looked realyl funny. I love Spirit Week because it isn't just a week that helps you to express the spirit of Assumption, it also brings classes together, allows everyone to goof off a little (or a lot!), and it is really just a ton of fun!

Pep Rally

The winter sports pep rally was amazing this year. It was great to see the cheerleaders and the JV and Varsity dance teams perform. They were awesome! It was also so exciting to see everyone's class spirit through spirit chains and hall decorating. And to top everything off, the fly girls dance routine was the best yet. I can't wait for this pep rally to come next year; it is definitely one of my favorite ones ever!

The winter sports pep rally was on Friday, January 8. It was a lot of fun and a chance for the whole school to get together. We recognized our outstanding sports teams and gave thanks to the seniors. We cheered and discovered the outcome of hall decorating and spirit chains. It was just a fun time for everyone. Most students look forward to this pep rally every year, knowing it's one of our biggest following Spirit Week each year.

Okay, so I can honestly say that the winter pep rally is my favorite pep rally every single year! This year might have been the best one of my three years at Assumption...over 60 seniors spent the night at school the night before to learn the sly girls routine. Their dance was awesome! Junior won the hall decorating and that was so exciting because our class has never won before. All in all, it was a great pep rally!

AHS vs. SHA Basketball Game

The Assumption basketball team played one of its biggest games of the year on Sunday, January 16. Not only was it against one of the best teams in the state, but it was also our biggest rival, Sacred Heart.
The JV team ended with a loss to SHA in a hard-fought battle that came down to the wire. The Varsity game was played in a very loud and upbeat atmosphere with fans filling both sides of the stands from the respective schools. The Rocket cheering section was led by some seniors and had a great turnout. The Rockets played really well in a very physical game, but couldn't quite pull it out.
This isn't the last time the two teams will match up though, possibly meeting again in the LIT tournament and in the regional tournament.
Other exciting festivities coincided with this game, including the volleyball team receiving their state rings at halftime, followed by a performance by the dance team. The spirit was alive both on and off the court, and it won't be the last time we see this Rocket pride!

Capital Prize Kickoff

The Capital Prize Kickoff this year was great - especially the performances by Kesha and Lady Gaga. They made the presentation really exciting and motivated everyone to go out and sell capital prize tickets to help with financial aid for current and future AHS students.

Tri-M Talent Show

The Tri-M talent show is a really cool show where students can audition and display their super cool talents. One girl played guitar and sang an original song and another girl tap danced. Others sang, played piano, and the AHS Step Team performed. It was really cool to see friends share talents that I didn't know they had. Plus, all the money raised from the show went to supporting the school that students built in Cambodia. It was a really fun night for a really great cause.
