Principal’s Corner

Dear ASCE Families,

Thank you so much to all of the people who attended mass with our Special Persons. We celebrated a beautiful mass with Father Jose, and it was truly wonderful to have everyone with us at mass yesterday!

Our 5th grade students had a fantastic time at Camp Timbers, thank you to Mrs. Little for all her hard work providing our students with the opportunity to be at camp. Also, thank you to all our parents and grandparents who volunteered their time to chaperone the trip to
camp.

Thank you to our Home and School who covered the cost of the trip, we are very grateful!

We are looking forward to celebrating our four-year-old preschool students with their graduation from preschool this week. Both our preschool classes are enjoying field trips Monday and Tuesday as we celebrate the end of their school year this week.

We are heading into the last few weeks of the school year, and we are very excited to celebrate the achievements of all our students. We will hold our Awards Ceremony for all Early Fives—5th grade students on June 6 at 1:00pm, St. James Church, All Saints Parish.

Wishing everyone a blessed weekend!

Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus

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.
