NEW
NEWS
Successful Food Drive! Thank you to All
Thank you to everyone
who donated food to our Thanksgiving Food Drive. ASA families brought in a total of 708 lbs. of food! WOW!
Advent Prayer Services
Advent began this past
Sunday. School Advent prayer services
have been planned every Monday during Advent at 7:45 am. We ask that students be present for these
services- please make a special effort to have them here by that time.
The season of giving
continues as we move through the season of Advent. We want to live out
our core value of "Sharing Generously" with those in our own
community. We never need to look very far to reach out and be the helping
hand that people very close to us may need.
This year All Saints
Academy adopted six families. There are
many ornaments available on the tree yet.
Please consider helping us provide a merry Christmas to these
families. School families are welcome to take an ornament, purchase the gift and
return to school, unwrapped by
December 16th.
