Camp Lakewood Experience
October 7, 2015
ASH eighth graders have been going to Camp Lakewood for 18 years! It is one of those opportunities that offers a memorable experience for every student. To some, it’ s conquering the high ropes course or mastering the Alpine rescue’s challenges. To others, it’s climbing the infamous tower or hitting a bull’s eye with a flying arrow or a spear! Through the “Lakewood experience,” some eighth graders have discovered a classmate’s strengths or found the opportunity to display their hidden talents. Most students value the chance to spend time with their friends … sharing meals, cabin antics and campfire stories.
Fun and Games
September 28, 2015
Last Thursday evening, boys in grades 1-4 teamed up with their moms for some old-fashioned races and games, and a picnic supper. This Mother-Son event is an annual opportunity for some special “mom-and-me” time.

STEM Leadership Day
September 24, 2015
Six ASH students recently participated in a STEM Leadership Conference at Assumption School. They learned about the engineering design process, were challenged with engineering tasks, and sharpened their leadership skills. The day was fun, interactive, educational, and competitive; students worked with one another to build the tallest building out of cards, the fastest cars made out of random Lego pieces, and an egg drop. Representing the Academy were Sean and Emily (8th Class); Claire and Alex (7th); and Abby and Charlie (6th). Great job, ASH team and Coach Mr. Putnam! Our gratitude to Assumption School and event organizers for providing this opportunity.
