Dear ASB Families, 

Thank you to all who have registered for our 44th annual auction, The Greatest School on Earth! I particularly love this year’s theme because, like all of you, I recognize how special this school truly is. As an alumna and the parent to two alumni, I have personally experienced the power of an Assumption-St. Bridget School education. Our graduates leave as self-directed learners and effective communicators who are highly prepared to continue their academic, spiritual, and moral growth as they embrace new challenges and experiences.

Each year, we invite families to participate in a Fund-a-Need at our auction. Guests are encouraged to dig deep and raise their paddles in support of something critical for ASB. This year, I personally invite each of you to give generously in support of our Education Endowment. This endowment is a permanent investment which provides long-term revenue in support of our mission to provide the best possible education for our students at the lowest possible cost.

When considering your donation to our endowment, I hope you will think of your gift as a way to honor the ASB of today, while looking ahead to the future. I hope you will think about what this community means to your family, how this school has benefited your children, and how this school will continue to benefit generations of children to come. Please think about our committed teachers and how they provide a safe space for children to explore, learn, and be challenged each day. Think about how this is a place where students arrive each morning excited to learn and where faculty are dedicated to meeting the diverse ways in which students learn. Your gift to the endowment is a gift to the future of this school. Your gift ensures this beloved community will be here for our families, our children's families, and even our grandchildren’s families.

I continue to be amazed by the incredible generosity of our community, and I know this year will be no different. I thank each of you for your support and commitment to ASB. If you have any questions about our Education Endowment or ways you can give, please email Director of Advancement Katharine Cappo. If you are unable to attend the auction, you may donate today by selecting “Education Endowment” on our online giving form.

Thank you again for your continued support of ASB,
