Every Thursday school is in session we will provide this “Weekly Parent
Newsletter”. Please read carefully. This will contain All Saints
Academy, St. Cloud news for you and your family.
Please note, newly added information for this week will be under
New News. Information that has
been previously published will be located under Bulletin Board at the
end.
From Oct. 27 – Oct. 29th an

NEW NEWS
1. Workathon is this Saturday – If you haven’t signed up on
Volunteer Spot to be part of our Workathon, there is still time to do it! Go to http://vols.pt//JMMLCX (The Remind texts are incorrect.) We need everyone’s help! Work-sites are depending on us to help. Our school goal is $34,000. To date, we have raised $20,178.20, with
several students reaching their personal goal of $150/student. If students still have money they have
collected and not turned into school, money can still be turned in and they
will receive their respective prizes. Two
homerooms have earned breakfast at school! All pledges will be applied towards
your $350 fundraising goal/child.
Assignments
will be handed out today, so please check your youngest’s Thursday folder to
find out what site you have been assigned.
Team leaders, please call your work site to confirm and also call all
members of your group.
Saturday, October 24th – We will gather in the gym
with prayer first at 8:15 am. We will have
donuts and coffee available after prayer.
This will be a time to connect with your work group. Afterwards, please proceed to your work site.
Introduce yourself to the property owners.
Once you have completed the job, please contact a leaf hauler to come
pick up your leaves. You are welcome to
join other All Saints Academy families as well as other Catholic school
families for a hot dog cook out at Cathedral High School afterwards.
2. Halloween Carnival – The
Halloween Carnival will again be hosted by PAC this Saturday, Oct. 24th. After a day of work, the kids
will love an evening of fun! Our 6th graders have created and will
be hosting 6 games at the Carnival. They
will also be working Eerie Alley, if you are brave enough to enter! You
can dress up and get an extra night’s use of that Halloween costume, or
come casual. There will also be food available for purchase. The event is held
at the ASA Waite Park building from 5-8 pm. Bring your neighborhood
friends and relatives as all are welcome. Part of the proceeds will go towards
6th grade Deep Portage Outdoor Environmental Camp trip this February.
3.
Spaghetti Dinner October 30th
– Invitations were mailed out and sent home last week. Many people have RSVP’d to our Spaghetti
Dinner. Space is limited so let us know
if you plan on attending. The date is Friday, October 30th with the
social beginning at 5:30 pm, dinner buffet at 6:30 pm. An “alumni cook” of the Spaghetti Dinner is
returning to make our delicious Italian meal.
Sandy Faust, whose children attended SPPM will be heading up our
kitchen. As the invite said, we will be
honoring some of our volunteers in a short program after dinner. There is no charge for the dinner and a cash
bar for beer & wine will be available.
Please RSVP by emailing Marissa Bristow at marissa.bristow@allsaintsmn.org.
4. Family Lunch Accounts - Family Lunch
accounts need to be kept up to date. Notices are in Thursday folders this week if
you owe $10 or more. If the balance owed is more than $30.00, students will
receive a sandwich and milk during lunch until payment is received beginning
Monday, October 26th. According to Federal Policy from the Department of
Agriculture, “Schools may deny a meal to a student who pays reduced or full
price and who does not provide the required payment for the meal.” Your cooperation with this matter is most
appreciated.

There is some movement of furniture required in order to take photos of
the furniture. If you are interested in
helping us, please contact Amanda Gjerde, Amanda.gjerde@allsaintsmn.org. All hours will count towards your 15-hour
volunteer requirement.

251-5295, so that we can provide the information for you. We would like all parents to log in and
update their profile. This technology
will allow us to provide more information, communicate with parents and offer
useful tools for everyone who is a member of our school community.
