Principal’s Corner
Dear ASCE Families,
Thank you to all the families who participated in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade! Thank you to all who helped put together our beautiful float, many thanks to the Bader family, Dengler family, Felske family, Kerbleski family, Najdowski family, and the Olson family! Also, thank you to Mr. Bethune and the middle school band members who joined the elementary on the float! It was fantastic to be part of the parade and a great day to be a Cougar!
We celebrated a wonderful Mass with Bishop Gruss on Friday. It was a beautiful celebration as preschool, elementary, middle and high school students and staff joined Bishop Gruss and Father Jose for Mass. After Mass, Bishop Gruss visited each classroom and took time to answer many questions from our students. Thank you Bishop Gruss!
As we continue our Lenten journey let us be reminded of the many gifts we have been given and give thanks to our Lord.
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus
Prayer
Jesus our Lord, You have called Lazarus to life, and saved us all from death. You have set us free from sin and given us everlasting life. We thank You and love You! Who live and reign with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen.

Virtue of the Week
During morning prayer on Monday, March 27, we will introduce Magnificence
Doing great things for God, such as using one’s talents for good, helping others, and making an extra sacrifice.
Dear Jesus, sometimes I do not want to do the right thing. Help me now to do the right thing for You and to do all things, great or small, with great love. Amen
Literacy Night
Literacy Night is this Wednesday, March 29 from 6:00– 7:00pm. Students will get the opportunity to read and participate in reading activities with their family. This is also a great way to take advantage of some extra AR testing time!
SumDog
Sumdog is a highly engaging free app for personalized practice that we use for during math class as a review tool. This is a fun way to motivate and engage students as they compete against other classes and schools, locally or nationally. Scores are based on accuracy, while the students’ individual scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly during the contest. The class score is based on the average of the number of students and correct answers. There was a Michigan statewide contest last week, out of all the participating schools in Michigan, which was 1,026 students in total, Norah Ritter came in 2nd place!!! Norah is in 2nd grade in Mrs. Heintskill’s class and worked so hard to earn her 2nd place! Way to go Norah! The whole 2nd grade class placed 9th out of 178 classes. You all did an amazing job, we are very proud of you!
Door Decorating Contest
As a part of Reading Month, each class had a door decorating contest. All the doors turned out fantastic. Great job teachers and students! The ASC senior students came over to judge the doors (see pictures on the following page). The winners are in…. Congratulations to 2nd grade for taking first place, right behind them was 3rd grade in second place, followed by 4th grade who came in third place! Great job to everyone!

Fun Fair is Friday, April 14. We are accepting donations of 2 liter pop, candy, and prizes. We are also in need of volunteers to work the games and prize table.

All Saints Catholic Elementary School Mission Statement
All Saints Catholic nurtures academic and personal excellence in all students while emphasizing Catholic values and service to others in Christ’s name.
Parish Info and Mass Opportunities
With the decline of young families attending church and with so much evil and hate in this world today, we need God now more than ever. It is our responsibility as Catholics to go to church weekly. By doing so, we set good examples for our children and do our part to lead them in the direction of Christ our Savior. Attending church as a family is so important and rewarding. It helps to create a special bond between you and God and between your family members. Children need to know and understand the importance of going to church consistently and having a relationship with God. There are many Mass options to accommodate busy lifestyles. So please take a little time out of your busy lives each week to grow closer to God and to enjoy Mass as a family.
