Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!

On December 12, the church commemorates the appearance of Mary to the Mexican peasant, Juan Diego, in 1531. The feast day is an important holiday in Mexico. It has also become an important day for Mexican Americans to celebrate their religious and cultural identity.

Inspired to spread good in the world after the tragic elementary school shooting in Newtown, All Saints Catholic School is committed to joining many other schools and communities in performing random acts of kindness in honor of those lives lost. As a school we will participate in a "26 Acts of Kindness Campaign"which will cover 26 school days beginning on January 3. Each day's theme will be a different act of kindness. Some days are simple: "Put a smile on someone's face"or "Hold the door for someone". Some days involve collections for local charities. An"Acts of Kindness" calendar has been posted on our school website. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims' families on the tenth anniversary of their death.

Join our free upcoming parenting educational event with Social-Emotional Learning Consultant, Lorena Seidel, on December 14 at 7:00 PM in the school theater.

The evening’s topic will be:” Be Kind & Firm At The Same Time- All The Time!” Tune into your confidence and “parenting resolve” to put an end to permissive and punitive (being a pushover or yelling) practices. Stop inconsistency, mixed messages, and discipline differences between parents/caregivers. Set sustainable and realistic guidelines, limits, consequences, and expectations and master the art of successful follow through.

December 23 is “Dress up Day” (holiday clothing for all students- no Tshirts). It is also an EARLY Dismissal day. NO EXTENDED DAY program. 

Our school Christmas Parties are on December 23.  If you volunteer to provide treats for the party, please send them to school on Thursday, December 22. Please do not send in anything to school unless you are specifically directed to do so by the teacher or room mothers. Please be respectful of this request. 

It is not our custom for students to exchange Christmas gifts with each other at school. If your child wants to exchange gifts with friends, it needs to be done out of school.

The Catholic Schools in the Diocese have been asked to participate in a fundraiser for Malta House on December 14. Wear your Christmas Sweater to school! Donation $2.00.
