Principal’s Corner
Dear ASCE Families,
This has been a short, but a very full week! We celebrated Halloween on Monday with a wonderful parade; the children had amazing costumes! A very big thank you to Father Steve for coming to school Monday morning to bless all of our students with a wonderful Halloween blessing.
Yesterday, for the Solemnity of All Saints, we celebrated a beautiful Mass along with middle school and high school staff and students.
The Knights of Columbus brought an icon of St. Joseph to be displayed at church. Before Mass, Dr. Osborn from the Diocese shared
information with the children about the icon. Thank you to Mr. Bauer from the K of C for sharing the icon of St. Joseph with our
students.
As a reminder, we do not have school tomorrow or Friday. We wish all of our staff safe travels as they head to Lansing for MANS 2022
Education Conference.
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus

Sock Drive
A big thank you to Adelaila Costilla and the 2nd grade class for their idea of the very successful Socktober sock drive. Also, a big thank you to
Sophia Wiegand who organized a sock drive at Bonnie’s Sewing Center, anyone who donated there was entered into a drawing. At the end of her
sock drive, she drew 3 names and each person won a quilt kit. As a result she added a significant amount of socks to the fourth grade collection of
socks. A big thank you to everyone who participated, it was an amazing fundraiser! Socks were delivered to the St. James’s jail ministry sock drive,
Good Samaritan Rescue Mission, and women’s shelter. Last Thursday, Adelaila and her family delivered socks to the mission shelter (see the
picture below). Way to go ASCE!!
Cooler Temperatures
The temperature is cooling down now. Fall is definitely upon us. Please be sure your child(ren) have the appropriate clothing for outside temperatures. The students go outside for recess and/or gym. They are outside unless it is raining or the “feels like” temperature is below 10 degrees.

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.
