Little did Mr. Conroy know when he entered the Parish Activity Center this morning with our Pastor Fr. Lee Roos that he would find the whole school waiting for him. After weeks of preparation, Mr. Conroy’s 20th Anniversary Celebration was underway! It was an opportunity for students from every grade level to pay tribute to Mr. Conroy and thank him for his years of dedication and steady, faith-filled leadership.
Pre-Kindergarten students kicked off the presentation of gifts with a Beatles tribute (We Love You, Ya Ya), followed by spiritual bouquets, a time capsule to be opened upon retirement, a food drive for the Bethany Food Pantry in Mr. Conroy’s name, a beautiful tree of life painting, a performance of My Favorite Things, a spiral bound Prayer Book with special prayers to reference throughout the day, and a video presentation featuring images from the early days to present year. Mr. Conroy was then presented with a gift card from the students purchased through the proceeds from a secret .50 per student collection held before Easter break.
In addition to our students, teachers, staff, and parish priests, Sr. Bernadette McManigal, BVM (Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Arlington Diocese) and Sr. Karl Ann Homberg, SSJ (Assistant Superintendent for Leadership) made the trip from Arlington to be a part of this special celebration.

Mr. K, a long-time Senior Mentor and Pearl Harbor survivor, is presented with an eagle plaque by the kindergarten class on Veterans Day.
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!!
Over 450 alumni, parents, students, parishioners, community members and friends gathered to celebrate Mrs. Lewis and her 50 year teaching career.
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 and 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.
