Message from the Principal Four years ago All Saints Catholic School launched a tremendously successful fundraiser program, the Race for Education. Since its inception, the Race has generated approximately $180,000 in revenue for our school community.  The funds donated to our school by family and friends from around the country have enabled us to purchase an ACTIV Board system for every homeroom, Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade.  The funds have also supported a variety of other initiatives,...

Message from the Principal Too much of a good thing ~ even snow ~ can make one long for the regular routine of day-to-day life. It was wonderful to open up the doors of school this morning and to see the children once again! I suspect that even the students were looking forward to an opportunity to both visit with their friends and to return to the business of learning. The business of learning, more than ever, will be our focus in the weeks ahead. With only two months until the week of Terra...

Message from the Principal Walking the hallways of our school is always rewarding as it provides an opportunity to see firsthand the beautiful work of our students and teachers. The experience is particularly wonderful during Catholic Schools Week when the teachers also display the letters written by parents expressing their reasons for choosing a Catholic education. Each of the letters is from the heart and speaks of the loving sacrifice that parents offer so that their children can benefit from...

Message from the Principal Last fall one of the school parents shared with me a brief story that in many ways captures the essence of a Catholic school education. On the Feast Day of the Archangels, her two sons came home from school and, bounding through the door, inquired as to whether they would be having a special dinner in honor of the occasion. I find this story very compelling as it speaks not only to their recognition of the feast day, but their sincere desire to celebrate it as a family....

Message from the Principal In the days following the earthquake in Haiti, several of the children at All Saints approached me with ideas as to how our community can provide support to those in need. Moved by the tragedy unfolding before their eyes through news reports, they were compelled to step forward to make a difference. I am so proud of their generosity and initiative. As a Catholic school community, the catastrophe in Haiti is an important teachable moment in the lives of our children. ...

Message from the Principal Happy New Year! I hope that you enjoyed a beautiful celebration of Christmas, made all the more memorable by the historic snowstorm. In accordance with diocesan policy regarding inclement weather, our school is required to make-up the first five “snow days” that occur during the year. As announced last spring, these days will be rescheduled during the week of Easter. (In recent years the make-up days have been added to the end of the year. In consideration...

Message from the Principal I am pleased to share with you that both Mrs. Bill and Mr. Richardson are doing well and resting at home following their surgeries last week. They are both in good spirits and are surrounded by the love and support of family and friends. Let us continue to keep them in our prayers during their weeks of recuperation. I would ask that you also keep Mrs. Engstrom, our P.E. teacher, in your prayers this week. She underwent oral surgery yesterday and will be out on leave...

Message from the Principal This week we have begun our annual journey of Advent, a time of preparation for the celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas. Amidst all of the joy and activity surrounding the preparations for the season, it is easy for us to lose sight of the fact that Advent is a beautiful season unto itself. At All Saints we have established several traditions that help to create a tone of anticipation and waiting, in essence a time during which we invite the children to prepare...
