Weekly
Parent Newsletter
December

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.
1. All Saints Academy's 5th grade will be celebrating mass at St.
Joseph's Church, Waite Park - on Friday, Dec. 12th at 9:00 am everyone is
invited to join the 5th graders and the Waite Park community at St. Joseph’s
Church. Students will be bussed to St. Joseph's. We hope many of you
choose to join our 5th grade. We will also be having our regular school mass at
St. Paul’s Church.
All Saints Academy thanks
our “Pearl of Wisdom” Sponsors.
Today we’d like to thank Cathedral High School for helping to make progress like this within our programming and curriculum.
2. Art Smart Snow Make Up Day – Due to the Snow Day on Monday, Nov. 10th,
that Art Smart day will be made up on December 8th, 2014 from 3-4pm,
for those who were scheduled to attend.
3. Christmas Program – The K-6th grade Christmas Program
will be held on Tuesday, December 16th at 6pm in St. Paul’s Church.
Please mark your calendars.
4. Christmas Family Project - As a school, we have “adopted” 4
families in need of assistance and we want to reach out to them during the
Advent season with gifts and household items.
Most of these 8 families live right here among us -- in our own
neighborhoods -- and this is one of the ways that our school tries to live out
its mission to be of service. We have
our Giving Tree set up in the school entryway with ornaments on the trees. Each ornament will name an item desired by
one of the families. Anyone wishing to
purchase that item should sign their name on the master list and take the
ornament. After purchasing the item,
please attach the ornament to the item and return it to school. We ask that you do not wrap the item. You may use gift bags or send wrapping paper
along. Bring your items to school by 8:00
am on Dec. 16th.
5. Lost & Found - Are you missing any sweatshirts or jackets? How
about a pair of mittens or a hat? Please come visit our Lost & Found bin
and table in the hall just outside the office. We have a lot of things that are unclaimed by our students which
have been gathered in our lunchroom, playground, gym and hallway. Please take a
minute and look through the items we have.

Birthday Treats – If your child will be sharing a birthday treat
with his/her class this year, we encourage you to be health conscious and peanut/tree
nut safe when sending these treats to school. Some healthy snack ideas
include grain products (crackers, pretzels, cereal bars), fruit, vegetables,
milk products (cheese, yogurt, pudding) or meat/protein (sunflower seeds and
cold cuts). If you have questions regarding allergies of students in your
child’s class, please contact the teacher or Mrs. Gjerde.
