All Saints Receives Major Gift Donation

Posted on by Janis DeVore

We are pleased to share with you the exciting news that All Saints Catholic School has recently received a significant financial contribution from an anonymous donor.  The bequest to the school and parish includes the following gifts:

$137,000 to fund the Renovation of Restrooms in the original wing of the school (Grades 2-5 hallway)

$50,000 to Benefit Technology Programs

Consultation with the Diocesan Office of Planning, Construction and Facilities is now underway with the goal of the renovation work being completed during the summer months.

Of the funds allocated for technology, $10,000 will be used for the immediate purchase of a second mobile cart of Chromebooks for the middle school.  This will provide students and teachers with greater access to these learning tools and move us along the path toward one-to-one technology use in grades six through eight.  The remaining technology funding will be held in reserve as we continue planning for the next phase of technology integration at All Saints.

All Saints Catholic School is most grateful for this generous gift that will benefit our school and students for years to come!

PE Classes Guided by "Eagle Pride"

Posted on by Janis DeVore

eagle-pride-all-saints-fbMr. Redman is introducing a new theme in Physical Education (PE) classes this year centered around the idea of Eagle Pride. The new theme will serve several functions. It will be a behavioral signal when students need to stop talking, stop moving, etc. “I am instructing students to be ready for my signal of ‘Eagle,’ explains Mr. Redman, “and they will respond with ‘Pride.’ ”

Eagle Pride will also support lessons in attitude and effort. Instead of being a “chicken that can’t get off the ground,” Mr. Redman encourages students to “have the right attitude which determines your altitude and allows you to soar!”

Mr. Redman’s hand-painted Eagle is currently featured on the PE bulletin board in the gym. He will also be tying in the concept of Eagle Pride with achievements in the new Eagle Pride quarterly PE newsletter.

Go All Saints Eagles!!
