On Friday, we celebrated the season with our annual Fall Festival. It was truly one of the best Fall Festivals I have experienced. The 8th grade students, parents, and faculty put together a fun-filled event for our school. It was apparent the amount of planning involved in this event. A special thanks to our 8th grade and all middle school teachers. Your love of our children is evident in your time and effort shared with the students. The day was filled with so much joy and the festival was a pleasure for all our All Saints families. Go Eagles! You make us so proud.
Tomorrow is Halloween. Since, we had our celebration on Friday there will be no costumes on Tuesday. However, students are permitted to wear festive hair accessories, jewelry, and socks. Please nothing scary should be worn. Following a wonderful tradition, the Student Government Association will begin collecting extra or unwanted Halloween candy from Wednesday, November 1st to Friday, November 3rd to give to veterans at the VA Hospital and active duty military personnel. Collection boxes will be placed in the school lobby. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
This Wednesday is All Saints Day and is a Holy Day of Obligation. For that reason, we have switched our liturgy day from Thursday to Wednesday. Our lower grades will be dressing as their favorite saints and will bring this special day to life for us. All parents are welcome to join us at
9:30 AM at St. Peter Church. Our little "saints" will be leading the procession over to Church. Further, this day ends with an early dismissal to allow for parent teacher conferences in the afternoon. You should have received a reminder email from Mrs. Michelle Kleisley earlier today explaining how to
sign up for a conference if you have not already done so.
This Thursday, representatives from Cardinal Newman High School will be meeting with our middle school students to share information about our Catholic feeder school and to allow students to ask questions. Former All Saints graduates will be accompanying the faculty members to share their experiences at Cardinal Newman with our students. Parents are also invited to attend so you may gain further knowledge about this wonderful high school. Cardinal Newman's Open House (November 5) and placement test (December 2) are fast approaching. As our 8th graders must soon decide where they are going for high school, this meeting may help you make informed decisions. We invite our 6th and 7th grades as well as this process of looking at schools should begin earlier than 8th grade.
Excitement is building for our
annual auction at the Jupiter Beach Resort on November 4th. The auction chairs and committee are busy creating amazing baskets. The plans for this gala are in the final stages and promises to be an amazing evening filled with community, spirit, and enthusiasm for our school and belief in Catholic education. Bidpal, the way to bid for items electronically, will be live later this week. Just because you may not be able to attend the auction, you are still able to bid for items through an electronic device. Be sure to check out the amazing items available for bid! Thank you to our countless volunteers and I look forward to sharing this evening with our families.
