“For I was hungry and you gave me food.” – Matthew 25:35
During this Lenten season, we are pleased to announce that All Saints will be hosting its fifth annual Colecta de Alimentos Pan de Vida (BOLD) to benefit the All Saints’ Bethany Food Pantry and Catholic Charities’ St. Lucy Project. We are excited to once again partner with the University of Notre Dame Club of Staten Island on this nationwide food drive.
Aquí están los detalles sobre esta iniciativa de servicio comunitario para ayudar a las personas y familias en nuestra comunidad local que necesitan asistencia alimentaria.
¿Cuándo se llevará a cabo la colecta de alimentos?
La colecta de alimentos de Todos los Santos Pan de Vida se llevará a cabo desde Monday, March 17 – Friday, March 28, 2025La colecta de alimentos de Pan de Vida de Todos los Santos será desde el lunes, 30 de marzo – 31 de marzo de 2023. Los estudiantes de Todos los Santos de la Sociedad Nacional Juvenil de Honores (NJHS, por sus siglas en inglés) ayudarán a organizar la campaña.
¿Adónde va la comida?
Almost a quarter of a million people in the Arlington Diocese are “food insecure,” meaning they do not know where their next meal will come from. Our school’s Bread of Life Food Drive will benefit the St. Lucy Project and All Saints’ Bethany Food Pantry to assist families and individuals living within Manassas, Manassas Park and Prince William County.
¿Qué puedes hacer para ayudar?
Durante la campaña, su(s) hijo(s) puede(n) traer donaciones de alimentos por la mañana y dejarlas en las cajas que estarán fuera de sus salones de clase. Las donaciones también se pueden llevar a la oficina de la escuela de Todos los Santos (de lunes a jueves) entre las 8:00 a. m. y las 3:30 p. m.

equipment, and additional training opportunities to better serve the students in our middle
school club and competition team.
Habilidades ampliadas de matemáticas
New K-8 math instructional resources and materials will focus on strengthening critical math
skills, including fact fluency and computational thinking.
Language Translation
Real-time English/Spanish translation devices will enhance communications during parent-teacher conferences, PTO events, and Open Houses.
Cafeteria (K-8)
Funds will supplement the cost of replacing cafeteria tables in need of a refresh.
Purchase of an Electronic Visitor Management System to allow a digitized process and enhanced security screening for all visitors entering our school.
This is a perfect opportunity for those looking to make charitable contributions prior to year-end for tax purposes.
If you have any questions or would prefer to donate via check, please contact Janis DeVore at development@allsaintsva.org.
What is the All Saints Robotics Club working on during these last few weeks of 2024? Here is an update from club moderator, Mr. Ben Roy.
Building Momentum:
Base Builds: Most of our teams have completed the construction of their base robots. This is a significant milestone, and we’re proud of their hard work and dedication.
First Programs: Our teams have taken their first steps into programming by executing simple programs on the competition board in Mr. Saffian’s classroom. Witnessing their problem-solving skills as they debugged their code to achieve the desired robot movements was truly inspiring.
Wednesday 11/20 Challenge: Uber Driving Robots!
This week, we’re taking our learning to the next level. We’ll simulate a real-world scenario by transforming our robots into “Self-Automated Uber Drivers”! Students will navigate their robots through a city maze on the competition board, first using a remote control and then writing a program in Vex Code IQ. (See attached challenge)
Vex Code IQ is a user-friendly visual programming software that makes it easy for our students to understand and implement coding concepts. https://codeiq.vex.com/
I’m continually amazed by our students’ enthusiasm and creativity!
