Helping Hands – September 29

Posted on by Janis DeVore

In Person Volunteering Opportunity 

Our awesome teachers are very busy teaching the students. They spend many hours before and after school doing lesson plans, grading papers, and preparing materials. To assist the teachers, the PTO is sponsoring a “Helping Hands” volunteer event during the school day in the Parish Activity Center (PAC) to do little projects for the teachers. Potential projects may include cutting, sorting, organizing, tearing workbook pages from books, creating fidgets, etc. We provide coffee, water, snacks, and a great opportunity to meet other parents. Please note the date has been moved – the new date is Thursday, September 29th.

Volunteers are asked to sign in at the front office and do not need to be VIRTUS certified.  If you’re interested in volunteering, please sign up using Help Counter or just show up on that day! Questions? Please contact Sharon Storey at sharonstorey83@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for helping our wonderful teachers and staff!

Cafeteria Hot Lunch Program

Posted on by Janis DeVore

As announced earlier in the summer and in response to parent feedback via the interest survey conducted during the spring, we are pleased to confirm that the cafeteria program will re-open and provide food service for students, faculty, and staff in the new year. We are delighted to welcome back Mrs. Floribel Fleisig (Cafeteria Supervisor), Mrs. Myriam Slaiby (Kitchen Assistant), and Mrs. Letty Gutierrez (Kitchen Assistant). It is a great blessing for our school that all three members of the team are able to return to restart a program that has been such a beloved tradition at All Saints.

2022-2023 School Theme Announced

Posted on by Janis DeVore

At the beginning of each academic year, All Saints announces a theme that further unites us as a faith community and that provides a daily focus for all of our efforts.  I am pleased to share with you the theme for the 2022-2023 school year.

Mi espíritu se regocija en Dios, mi Salvador

These words of the Blessed Virgin Mary, taken from the Gospel of Luke, are aligned with the second year of preparation for the diocesan celebration of the 50to Anniversary Jubilee.  It is Mary who is the Model Disciple who shows us how to the receive the Word and to bear the Word to the world.  As we enter into the second year of preparation later this fall, it is a time for us to rejoice in the vitality of our diocese as well as the vibrancy of our school community.  I pray that this theme will be a source of inspiration for you and your families throughout this academic year.

More information about the preparation for the Diocesan Golden Jubilee can be found at the link below.

Please see the link below for a written description and accompanying visual aid designed to provide you with an overview of the All Saints Catholic School Carpool System. The main focus of the procedures that we have set in place is to maintain an arrival and dismissal system that is safe for students, and is also efficient and courteous to the parish and school community, and our surrounding neighbors.

Important Information to Volunteer at All Saints

Verificación de Antecedentes - Pólizas para Padres Voluntarios de la Escuela
Como parte de la iniciativa diocesana para mantener un entorno seguro para todos nuestros niños, todos los voluntarios de la escuela deben completar una verificación de antecedentes antes de trabajar en la escuela y completar la capacitación VIRTUS dentro de los 45 días posteriores a la presentación de la solicitud de verificación de antecedentes.

De acuerdo con la póliza diocesana, no se requiere el cumplimiento total de un padre voluntario adulto para los eventos abiertos. (Un evento abierto es aquel que está abierto al público, es poco frecuente y se publicita, como el Día de Juegos, los conciertos y los eventos/asambleas especiales). Sin embargo, se requiere el cumplimiento total de los padres voluntarios adultos que deseen participar en eventos cerrados. (Un evento cerrado es aquel que no está completamente abierto al público en general, como actividades en el salón de clases, fiestas, excursiones, etc.) Por esta razón, todos los padres que deseen asistir a excursiones o ser voluntarios en apoyo de las actividades del salón de clases deben complete el proceso de verificación de antecedentes y asista a la capacitación de VIRTUS.

La solicitud en línea para la verificación de antecedentes diocesanos se puede encontrar en el siguiente enlace:

Para registrarse en la capacitación VIRTUS que se lleva a cabo en las parroquias y escuelas de nuestra diócesis, siga el enlace a continuación.

Eighth Grade Graduation – June 3

Posted on by Janis DeVore

Plans are in place for what will be a beautiful celebration of the success of our 8th grade students. The following is a schedule of special events planned for Eighth Grade Graduation for the Class of 2022 on June 3, 2022.

Pass-it-On Ceremony (Church/9:30 AM)
The students will gather in the church at 9:30 AM, to observe the Pass-it-On Ceremony, an annual tradition and prayer service during which the 8th grade students “pass on” their leadership role to the rising 7th grade class as symbolized by the handing on of the 8th grade honor medals.

Graduation Breakfast (Father Kelly Hall/10:00 AM)
This graduates-only event is a tradition during which the students will enjoy breakfast served by the pastor, school administration, and 8th grade teachers. At the conclusion of the meal, memories will be shared, gifts presented, and final report cards distributed to the students.

8th Grade Walk of Honor (Courtyard/11:00 AM)
Following the breakfast, the graduates will process individually from Father Kelly Hall while all of the students in grades K-7 line the hallways and applaud each one as they exit the building for the final time as students.

Graduation Mass & Ceremony (Church/4:00 PM)
All school families and members of our community are cordially invited to attend the Graduation Mass & Ceremony, followed by a reception in the Parish Activities Center.

Important Reminder:
As Graduation will begin at 4:00 PM on Friday, June 3, school will dismiss at noon for students in grades K-7. Extended Day services will remain available.
