Please check the school calendar for dates for the following school activities:

New Parent Coffee (September 24, 2024)

Enjoy “coffee with the principal” and learn about upcoming events and programs at All Saints. This is also a great forum to get your questions answered.

Priest’s BBQ (September)

Children enjoy a hot dog or hamburger at a special outdoor lunch/recess session where our parish priests serve the lunch and interact with the students.  Lunch tickets are not used; homeroom teachers take “orders” for lunch preferences that day.

Penny Bazaar (October 31, 2024)

One hour of fun and games for the entire family outside in the back parking lot of the school.  Each classroom sets up a fun, simple game (ex. ring toss, beanbag toss) and players pay a penny or two to play.  Small prizes are given out to all players. Parents and siblings are welcome. Children should carry a small bags of pennies to school that day (50 cents -$1.00) and a bag to hold both pennies and prizes (fanny packs and small backpacks are perfect for keeping hands free to play games). Classrooms need volunteers to run the game (coordinated by room classroom liaisons). Cupcakes and lemonade are sold in the cafeteria; cupcake donations are welcome.  All monies collected from games and food sales support a charitable cause.

Veterans Mass, Assembly & Reception (November 8, 2024)

Join All Saints as we honor current and past members of our nation’s military. Prior to the event, you will receive information about honoring your loved ones by completing a paper brick that to be displayed in the Pre-K/first grade hallway.

Thanksgiving Luncheon (November 25, 2024)

Families are invited to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for lunch on this day. A special order form is sent home in the weeks prior to the luncheon.  Lunch periods are extended to accommodate the crowd.  You will wait in the lunch line with your child – but the wait is worth it! Seating is first come, first serve.  After lunch, enjoy recreational time outside with your child.

Thanksgiving Prayer Service (November)

Parents are invited to take a moment to reflect and give thanks during this prayer service.  Children gather in the church and offer up non-perishable food donations at the altar, which are then donated to All Saints Bethany Food Pantry. This occurs just prior to Thanksgiving break.

Evening with St. Nick (December 5, 2024)

An annual tradition at All Saints, this event occurs in the evening around the feast day of St. Nicholas (December 6). Traditional Advent carols are sung during the prayer service, and families can stay after for cookies and cocoa, and photos with St. Nicholas and Mother Seton. Attendees are asked to donate new shoes for the House of Mercy in honor of St. Nicholas. Monetary donations are also accepted.

Christmas Pageants (December)

Students from our Pre-Kindergarten class participate in the Pre-K Christmas Pageant, just prior to Christmas break. We also celebrate a multi-grade, school-wide Christmas Pageant with day and evening performances.

Catholic Schools Week (January 26 – February 1, 2025)

This long-standing, national celebration of Catholic Schools is a time marked by special events and activities to highlight our Catholic faith. Classroom liaisons often plan special gifts for teachers and staff.  The PTO provides a beautiful luncheon to thank our parish priests, administration, teachers and staff.

Science Fair (February)

Our seventh grade students participate in the science fair, and students from the primary grades visit their exhibits the day before judging begins. Awards are presented the evening of the science fair.

Farewell to the Alleluia Prayer Service (March 4, 2025)

Passion Play (April 17, 2025)

Jesus’ final hours are acted out in this dramatization by our 7th grade students. All are welcome to attend this poignant portrayal.

May Crowning (May 1, 2025)

The 8th grade tradition of crowning Mary takes place in the church or courtyard after a special school Mass in which second grade students come dressed in their First Holy Communion dresses and suits, and 8th grade Confirmation students come dressed in their Confirmation clothing.  Following this beautiful song filled ceremony enjoyed by the entire student body, the 2nd and 8th grade classes have class photos taken in the church.

Book Fair

The Book fair comes to town once a year and when it does, watch out!  Our library is transformed into another world, and children get to visit the fair to see who or what exciting things they find.  Classes visit the fair during their regular library time or at lunch for the middle school students.  Children can purchase books and parents are welcome to stop by and shop as well.  Look for a flyer to come home with further ordering info, and for extended library hours to accommodate the after school shopping crowd!

Race for Education (April 30, 2025)

Check the newsletter and website for more information about our largest fundraiser, a spring-time event in which the children gather pledges and run or walk a designated course around the school in an effort to raise funds to benefit our school. A percentage of the proceeds also benefits St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Spirit Events

The PTO plans community building activities for the school families throughout the year, such as restaurants nights, roller skating, ice skating, ice cream events, miniature golf, and more.  Prices for these events are often discounted or portions of the proceeds are donated to the school.
