Annual St. Peter’s Pancake Breakfast in support of ASA
On Sunday, September 24th, The Knights of Columbus will be hosting a breakfast at St. Peter’s Church. The cost is $8/person, 5 and under are free. All proceeds will go to ASA! Each year we ask St. Cloud parents/families to help working this breakfast and/or selling tickets. 8 (eight) tickets will be sent home in next week in an envelope. The complete cost of the ticket can be applied towards your fundraising requirement of $350/child. You must turn in the money and all unsold tickets to the office to get fundraising credit. Tickets purchased at the breakfast cannot be tracked for fundraising credit purposes, only pre-sold tickets.
Volunteer at the breakfast! If you are new to the All Saints Academy family, this is a good time to meet people by working the breakfast. The students help too – it’s a great way for them to provide service to their community. All hours go towards your family’s 15 volunteer hours/year.
