Congratulations to the All Saints Robotics team which in their first year of competition qualified to participate in the Virginia State Championship in Doswell, VA this past Friday. Our team finished 17th in the Alliance Challenge and 15th in the Skills Challenge at States, and can’t wait to apply all they learned from competing in this high level competition.

What an exciting assembly to round out our first week back at school!

At a special school assembly, we welcomed Arlington Diocesan priest Fr. Keith O’Hare who serves in the Bánica Mission in the Dominican Republic.

In support of our 2015-16 school theme, “Building God’s house in kindness and mercy,” our students raised funds throughout the year in support of the Bánica Mission.

Today they presented a check to Fr. O’Hare for $6,000 which will be used to build a home for a family in Bánica.

As a school community, we give thanks to God for the blessings we’ve received and are able to share with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Congratulations to the All Saints Band for scoring our highest point score ever with an overall average score 96.6 out of 100 at the 2016 Kings Dominion Band Festival!

The All Saints band won 1st place in the Middle School Division and highest point score in all categories at this year’s Festival. Great job everyone! Our thanks to Mr. Barry Ward and Mr. Mark Sawasky for their leadership and guidance throughout the year!

Little did Mr. Conroy know when he entered the Parish Activity Center this morning with our Pastor Fr. Lee Roos that he would find the whole school waiting for him. After weeks of preparation, Mr. Conroy’s 20th Anniversary Celebration was underway! It was an opportunity for students from every grade level to pay tribute to Mr. Conroy and thank him for his years of dedication and steady, faith-filled leadership.

Pre-Kindergarten students kicked off the presentation of gifts with a Beatles tribute (We Love You, Ya Ya), followed by spiritual bouquets, a time capsule to be opened upon retirement, a food drive for the Bethany Food Pantry in Mr. Conroy’s name, a beautiful tree of life painting, a performance of My Favorite Things, a spiral bound Prayer Book with special prayers to reference throughout the day, and a video presentation featuring images from the early days to present year. Mr. Conroy was then presented with a gift card from the students purchased through the proceeds from a secret .50 per student collection held before Easter break.

In addition to our students, teachers, staff, and parish priests, Sr. Bernadette McManigal, BVM (Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Arlington Diocese) and Sr. Karl Ann Homberg, SSJ (Assistant Superintendent for Leadership) made the trip from Arlington to be a part of this special celebration.

What a blessing Mr. Conroy is to our school community!
