Given the forecast of rain for sábado y Sunday and what we anticipate will be poor field conditions at Linton Hall, as well as the possibility for additional showers on Monday morning, we will be hosting Field Day at All Saints on Monday, June 4th. 

The time of the event will remain the same, i.e. 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. with no Extended Day services available.

Morning Arrival Procedures (8:30-9:00 a.m.)  

• Volunteers who will be assisting with the event are asked to park in the church lot, to enter the school via the front door, sign-in at the office and then escort their son/daughter to their classroom.
• All other students may be dropped off using our regular morning procedures, beginning at 8:40 a.m.

Dismissal Procedures (1:00 p.m.)

Field Day will conclude at 1:00 p.m.  Parents are asked to notify the homeroom teacher when departing with their child.  All other students will exit the building using our regular procedures and gather in the front courtyard and behind the school for dismissal.

We look forward to a wonderful day of activities – rain or shine – that we hope will be very enjoyable for the children.

“Keeping You and Your Family Safe Online” – Parent Presentation (April 24th) Mindful of the importance of maintaining an awareness of the risks that exist on the Internet as well as strategies for keeping our young people safe, All Saints Catholic School is pleased to host a special presentation for parents entitled Keeping You and Your Family Safe Online. This informative session will take place during the PTO General Assembly Meeting on Tuesday, April 24 beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Activity Center.

Our speaker will be Mr. Kevin Bohli, Executive Director of the Office of Youth, Campus and Young Adult Ministries for the Diocese of Arlington. In addition to addressing the dangers of pornography, he will provide very specific guidance and resources for parents for effectively managing technology devices. Given the priority that we place on student safety and the need for parents to be well informed on this issue, at least one parent from those families with a child in grades five through eight are asked to attend. While all parents are cordially invited to participate, the topic will have particular relevance for those with adolescent children.

As an incentive, parents who attend the presentation will earn 3 Stewardship Shares (twice the usual amount for a 1.5 hour meeting) plus one free homework pass for each of their children.

Join us for what will be an important and empowering presentation for parents

This week our Church celebrates the greatest mystery of our faith ~ the Passion, Death
and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior. As a school community, we prepare for our
journey into the three holiest days of the year, the Triduum, through prayer and
tradition.

Beginning at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning, the students and faculty will gather in the
church for our annual Holy Thursday Prayer Service. After listening to Scripture
readings and reflecting on the example of Jesus, each of the children will participate in
the “hand-washing” ceremony that has become a long-standing tradition in our school.

Following the prayer service, the students will gather in the Parish Activities Center
at 10:45 a.m. for the 7th grade portrayal of the Passion Play. Through music and
dramatic presentation, middle school students will prayerfully re-enact Christ’s passion
and death. As the students depart the space in silence following the presentation, the
tone will be set for their continued reflection and prayer over the course of the coming
days.

All parents are cordially invited to join us in prayer and to witness these beautiful school traditions.

On behalf of the faculty & staff, I wish all of you a blessed celebration of Easter and an
enjoyable holiday with your family.
