USED UNIFORM SALE
Are you cleaning up and purging this spring? Have you discovered copious amounts of now too-small or barely used uniforms? Can’t use them anymore but don’t want to throw them away?
Help out your fellow Ascension families by donating your old and too-small uniforms to the PTO’s Used Uniform Sale and help out yourself by shopping for gently-used, and sometimes new, uniforms for cheap!
By donating your new and gently-used uniforms to the Ascension PTO, you are helping families in your community find affordable and sustainable uniform options. All proceeds from this event will go back to the PTO treasury, which supports PTO funded events.

SHAHEENS – SCHOOL UNIFORM
Shaheens has launched a new website to better serve our school and families. As a result, any existing links to our school’s uniform through Shaheens will no longer work. Here is Ascension’s updated link: https://www.shaheens.com/schools/ascension-louisville-ky
SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING
The Archdiocese requires all who volunteer or work with minors to have a background check done every five years (processed for free by the parish office). Also, an initial in-person Safe Environment Training must be completed (dates and locations available at www.archlou.org/safe). This training must be renewed every five years by doing a one-hour online course (ask parish office for the website).
If you volunteer or work around children at all, you must be up-to-date on these requirements. Please call the parish office if you have any questions.
If you are currently not up-to-date, you may continue in your work only if there are two other adults present who are up to date AND you are currently in the process of renewing your training and background check.
Anyone who is not currently volunteering but who might possibly volunteer in the future is welcome to go ahead and receive the initial in-person training. That way you wouldn’t have to scramble to do the training if you suddenly decided to volunteer for a youth event. Please submit the certificate you receive there to our parish secretary for her records.
Thank you so much for your service to our community and for your diligence in helping our parish be a responsible and safe place for our kids.
Sincerely,
Fr. Matthew

BOX TOPS COLLECTION
Did you know that Ascension is a Box Tops school? During this challenging time, our teachers and students need more help than ever. No matter what school looks like, Box Tops for Education is a fast and easy way for you to help out from home.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Buy participating products and use the Box Tops mobile app to scan your store receipt. The app identifies eligible products and automatically adds Box Tops to your school’s earnings online. Even if you’re shopping online or doing grocery pickup, you can still submit your e-receipts and earn Box Tops. Twice a year, our school gets a check!
The PTO uses money earned from Box Tops to fund our iPad program and other classroom needs for our students!
Here’s how YOU can help earn money for our school!
• DOWNLOAD the Box Tops app and select our school to support. This ensures that your Box Tops purchases count toward our school’s earnings.
• SHOP for Box Tops products and use the app to scan your receipt to add to our school’s earnings online.
• LOOK for any remaining Box Tops clips on packages. If you find some, clip them and send them to school!
• SPREAD THE WORD about Box Tops!
FUN TIP: You can also use the “Invite Friends” feature in the app to ask friends and family to help support our school!
Your earnings may seem small, but they really do add up. The more people that participate, the bigger the impact we can make. So let’s give our teachers the support they need and help give more kids the opportunity to dream. Little by little, we can help make a BIG difference.
