We are pleased to announce an exciting new partnership between All Saints Catholic School and the Little Medical School, an after school program that encourages elementary students to explore the inspiring world of health and medicine.

Through hands-on interactive demonstrations, crafts and games, the Little Medical School teaches children how the body and organs work, introduces them to medical instruments, and explores the skills that real surgeons use in surgery.

The concept is to offer small classes of 12 students led by a trained Little Medical School teacher to ensure individual attention. Our instructor will be long-time alumni parent, Mrs. Beth Ross. At the completion of the program, each child will receive a diploma and their own real stethoscope.

As part of our efforts to continue offering enriching STEM-related opportunities, we will pilot this program at the third grade level this spring. More information about the Little Medical School, including the pricing and class schedule, will be sent home shortly with each third grade student.

We look forward to this new partnership in support of student learning and the potential for expansion of this program in the future!

The Student Council Association (SCA) is sponsoring Prayer & Penny Week, March 7-11. Each class is asked to deposit pennies in their class bin. They can also bring in silver coins to deposit in the opposite class’ bin. Pennies will add to the class total while silver will subtract from the total. Cash will benefit your grade’s total amount.

Containers will be kept outside of each classroom and collect on Friday, March 11. The A or B class in the middle school with the highest positive amount will receive a donut/juice breakfast. The K-5 class with the highest positive amount will receive 45 minutes of recess or a movie, and all Pre-Kindergarten students will receive a popsicle party. The grade with the highest total amount will receive either an ice cream party or a dress down day.

Best of all, all money raised during Prayer & Penny Week will go to support our “Building the House” initiative!

The Prince William Chapter of the Catholic Business Network (PWC-CBN) is honoring outstanding Catholic educators through its first annual PWC-CBN Catholic Teacher Awards Program.

Manassas Christmas Parade – Participant Information

Mr. 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!!

The All Saints Drama Club, led by Mrs. Lewis and Ms. Zwisler, was a delight to watch this morning in back-to-back performances of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest y Taming of the Shrew. Audience members from 4-5 for The Tempest and grades 6-8 for Taming of the Shrew were rapt with attention as they followed the movement and storyline of each play.

The Tempest
The Tempest is set on a remote island, where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place. He conjures up a storm to lure his corrupt brother Antonio and King Alonso of Naples to the island. Led by Vanessa Morgan as the sorceress Prospera, the cast included 18 students with characters as diverse as the spirit Arial (Eirian Crocker) and the lurid monster Caliban (Jack Tessier).

Taming of the Shrew
Taming of the Shrew  is the story of true love that starts out with the insults of a shrew (Kate) and the brash retorts of her suitor (Petruchio). Kate must be married before her sister, Bianca can even think of being a bride. Will Kate be married soon enough, and will she survive the taming campaign of her husband? This large cast of 23 students worked well together, featuring Kate (Natalie Collier) as the difficult sister and confident Petruchio (Gabriel Cabello) as her would be suitor.

Annaliese Tamke served as Mistress of Revels for both plays, and the “Can’t Do Without Stage Crew” led by Joey Gould and Elizabeth Orsi, included Zoe Callen on sound, Drew Rice and Jack Tessier on lights, and props master Josh Dawson.

The Drama Club is made up of All Saints students from seventh and eighth grade. The club was particularly ambitious this year, bringing not one but two classic plays to the stage. Throughout both performances this morning, the actors delivered their lines with clarity and enthusiasm, and impressed all with the way they brought Shakespeare to life for those in attendance.

The Drama Club will be back with an evening performance of both plays on Wednesday, May 6th beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Activity Center.
