Principal’s Corner
Dear ASCE Families,
Thank you so much to our wonderful Home and School for providing our teachers with a beautiful Teacher Appreciation Week. In a big special way, we would like to thank April DiRusso, Kelcie Krugielki, Amanda Mrozinski, and Heidi Webster for organizing and setting up this week. Our teachers enjoyed coffee and cinnamon rolls, pretzels and popcorn, lunch and ice cream this week along with a gift from Home and School! The students also surprised their teachers with a special gift, please see the pictures on the following pages. Thank you to the Bartkowiak family for the “We love our teachers and staff” sign. What a great surprise! Also, thank you to all our families who provided gifts and treats for our teachers! We are truly blessed to have our amazing teachers and ASCE families!
This Thursday, each ASCE student can invite a special person to mass. We will celebrate mass with our special persons and then have a reception in Langley Hall before our students head back to school. Each class will have an assigned location. At 8:15am the students will begin to arrive at the church. Special persons meet us at church. Mass will begin at 8:30am.
This Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day. We wish all of our moms a very Happy Mother’s Day!
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus
Prayer
Thank You, Heavenly Father, for sending the Holy Spirit to be with us always. May we continue to grow closer to You, with the Spirit’s help and guidance. Through Christ our risen Lord. Amen.

Virtue of the Week
On Monday, May 15, we will introduce Trustworthiness.
Acting in a way that inspires confidence and trust such as turning homework in on time, not gossiping, and finishing a job or task well.
Dear Jesus, Help me to be faithful in even the little things of each day. In Your eyes nothing is little when done with great love! Amen.
Mother’s Day Blessing
Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so You give life and care for Your church. Bless these women, as we celebrate this day in their honor. May they be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor and appreciate them with a spirit of profound respect. May the example of Mary, Mother of Jesus, inspire them to live their vocation as Christian mothers and call their children to faith. Guide and protect them in challenging times and help them to continue to trust in You all the days of their lives. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

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.
