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

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.

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.

Hardensen, Karla. (1991). Children’s Daily Prayer. Liturgy Training Publications.

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!

The following families participated in either speaking at church or handing out invitations; Barrigar Family, Bartkowiak Family, Brzezinski Family, Costilla Family, Covyeou Family, DiRusso Family, Dzurka Family, Grudzinski Family, Guzman Family, Huebner Family, Jarvis Family, Piajaszek Family, Rhodus Family, and Werner Family, thank you!
Our student council worked hard last Sunday to decorate the school for St. Patrick’s Day. They put together a beautiful balloon arch (thank you Ritter family) and hung up decorations to make St. Patrick’s Day a special week for our students. Thank you to our student council!

The St . Patrick’s Day Parade is this Sunday and we will have a float in the parade for any student who would like to join. Our position (line up number) is 4, we will be close to Center and Wells Ct. If your child(ren) would like to participate and ride on our float, they must be there between 1:00– 1:30PM. If you arrive after 1:30pm, you might be turned away. The parade will begin at 2:00pm. You will have to check your child(ren) in with the adults chaperoning. You will sign your child(ren) in upon arrival and sign your child(ren) out at pick up. Pick up will be located on 6th St., past the Double Tree. Any child(ren) riding in the parade need to use the restroom prior to being checked in. We will not be taking a restroom break. Students in the elementary school must ride on the float if they are checked in to be part of the ASCE parade float. Don’t forget to dress for the weather and of course wear your St. Patty’s attire!!

Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus

Prayerfulness is being still, listening, and being willing to talk to God as a Friend. Prayerfulness looks like making the sign of the cross slowly and deliberately, focusing on Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and while at church singing with your heart.

Dear Jesus, I desire to have You as my best friend. Give me a desire to spend time with You each day, as I do with my friends. Help me always to put You first I my life, even when I am busy.

It helps to create a special bond between you and God and between your family members.

Dear ASCE Families,

This is an exciting time of year as we prepare for Lent and Easter. This Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, begins our Lenten journey, this is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This is a time for us to prepare for the celebration of our Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. We need to take time to seek and to follow Christ, to spend time in prayer, and to share what we have with others. As we prepare for Lent, let us be thankful for all the blessings we have been given. Wishing all ASC families a blessed Lenten journey!

Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus

Prayer

Lord God, help us to be one with You during this season of Lent. Guide us as you led Jesus through the trying times in His life. May we let go of our negative habits and thoughts that make us feel distant from Your loving presence. We look forward to the joy of Easter, for our hope is Jesus in this time of preparation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
