Thanks for your support of #GivingTuesday

Posted on by Janis DeVore

With sincere appreciation, we want to thank everyone who made our day of giving such a great success!

Due to the generosity of our All Saints community (current school families, faculty & staff, former parents, alumni and parishioners) we raised $3,826 in our first ever #iGiveCatholic / #GivingTuesday campaign!

All proceeds will help fund curriculum and technology initiatives for our students.

Final Chance to Give
We are just $174 from our goal of raising $4,000 through our #GivingTuesday campaign.

If you would still like to participate, we will be accepting check donations through Monday, December 7. Please send checks through your child’s teacher in an envelope marked “Attn: Mrs. Janis DeVore” or by mailing your donation to All Saints Catholic School, 9294 Stonewall Road, Manassas, VA 20110, Attn: Mrs. Janis DeVore.

Thank you again for your support of our #GivingTuesday efforts!

Thanksgiving Food Collection

Posted on by Janis DeVore

Saint Teresa of Calcutta reminds us “if you cannot feed one hundred people, then just feed one”.  Although structured differently this year, All Saints Catholic School will once again partner with the Bethany Food Pantry in collecting food items to provide families in need with a Thanksgiving meal. Working closely with the food pantry, we have determined a safe way to collect food items that encourages participation while maintaining the health and safety of our school community.

On Wednesday, November 18 and Thursday, November 19, students may participate in our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive by placing food items in bins that will be located outside during morning arrival in both the front and back carpool areas.  Students who participate all virtually are invited to participate on either of these days and may drop off items on either day, in either location.

In an effort to balance the type of food the pantry is seeking, we have assigned the following grade level items:

  • Kindergarten – 1 5-pound bag of white potatoes
  • 1st Grade – 1 5-pound bag of white potatoes
  • 2nd Grade – 1 5-pound bag of sweet potatoes
  • 3rd Grade – 1 5-pound bag of sweet potatoes
  • 4th Grade – 3 bunches of celery
  • 5th Grade – 2 3-pound bags of onions
  • 6th Grade – 2 3-pound bags of onions
  • 7th Grade – 3 1-pound bags of carrots
  • 8th Grade – 3 1-pound bags of carrots

Thank you for your generosity in ensuring that many families in need
throughout our community enjoy a beautiful Thanksgiving meal.

2020-2021 School Theme Announced

Posted on by Janis DeVore

Every year at All Saints we identify a theme that further unifies us as a community by providing a shared focus and source of inspiration for our students, faculty & staff.  I am pleased to announce that our theme for 2020-2021 will be All Things Work for Good for Those Who Love God. (Romans 8:28)

This scriptural reference seems particularly relevant during this unprecedented time as we work together to provide the best formation possible for our students.  Although the path forward may sometimes be clouded by uncertainty, we hold firm to our faith and the knowledge that everything occurs in accordance with God’s providence.  Despite the many changes in routines and procedures that will surround the opening of the new year, the core mission of our school remains unchanged, that of instilling in our students a love for God and for one another.
