All Saints students participate in “Read the Most from Coast to Coast.”

On Friday, March 1st, All Saints students participated in the “Read the Most from Coast to Coast” challenge, taking Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes with students from across the country!  More than 29,000 educators from throughout the U.S. registered their students to take part in Renaissance Learning’s second nationwide reading challenge. All Saints library team of Mrs. Coyle and Mrs. Geary decided to participate as a way to encourage reading and support this fun goal-setting event.

The new one-day record of quizzes taken is 4,409,622, completely smashing the previous record of 3,581,992. That’s a lot of reading!!

Thank you All Saints students for demonstrating your love of reading.

 

All Saints Band Wins Top Honors at Festival!

It is with great pride that we announce the results of the All Saints School Band performance at the annual Music in the Parks competition held at Busch Gardens last Friday.

The Advanced Band performed at York High School and was later awarded 1st Place among Middle School Concert Bands. Additionally, the band won an award for overall excellence among all of the participating bands, a feat that has only been accomplished once before in a competitive festival at the middle school level. Furthermore, our students were excellent ambassadors for our school, noted not only for their musical abilities but also the respect and courtesy they displayed throughout the day.

Congratulations to all of the members of the band on this outstanding achievement! Thank you, Mr. Ward and Mr. Moccio, for your stellar leadership of the program!

The legacy of the band program at All Saints continues and we rejoice in the success of our students!
