Every Thursday school is in session you will be receiving a link to the “Weekly Parent Newsletter”. Please read carefully. This will contain All Saints Academy, St. Cloud news for you and your family.
THIS IS THE LAST NEWSLETTER BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK.  LOOK FOR THE NEXT PARENT NEWSLETTER IN JANUARY 2018.   ALL SAINTS ACADEMY WISHES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A BLESSED CHRISTMAS SEASON!

Recess Volunteers Needed
Thank you to all who have volunteered so far this year for playground duty. As we enter the cold winter months our students continue to go outside for recess. We are in great need of volunteers in January and February. The open dates are listed on the School Speak Calendar. Please contact Kris in the office to sign up for available dates. Remember, unless you have paid the $50.00 opt out fee, each family is required to complete two turns of recess duty. One parent is needed in addition to our playground staff.
Thank you all for your help and generosity with your time!
