Principal’s Corner
Dear ASCE Families,
Thank you to all who attend Literacy Night, it was a wonderful evening of reading and literacy activities! Thank you to high school students, Yinuo Song, Michael Rhodus, Kellen Proctor, Hailey Douglas, and Nathan McInerney who helped run each of the stations! A big thank you to Mrs. Ritter for making and setting up all the decorations for Literacy Night! It was wonderful for the students to go on an adventure!
Yesterday, we prayed the Stations of the Cross as a school. Mrs. Neetz’s 4th grade class put together a beautiful PowerPoint including drawings from Mrs. Germain’s 1st grade class. The 4th grade students then walked us through the Stations of the Cross. Thank you to the 4th grade class for providing this beautiful way for our school to pray the Stations of the Cross.
Next Thursday, we begin the Easter Triduum. The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are Mass of the Lord’s Supper, Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion, and Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil. Enclosed you will find the parish schedules for Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday.
Wishing all of our families a wonderful spring break and a Blessed Easter!
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus
Prayer
We glorify You, O Lord, and sing songs of joy and praise! Thank you for giving us Your Son, our beloved Lord and Savior. May we worship and follow Him every day. We pray in His Name. Amen.

Virtue of the Week
During morning prayer on Monday, April 10, we will introduce Patience
This includes bearing present difficulties calmly, such as raising your hand and waiting calmly for your teacher to call on you, waiting without complaining, and not getting upset when others make mistakes.
Dear God, help me to wait without complaining, to see You in my neighbor, and to let Your grace enter this moment so that I may not lose my patience.

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.
