Thank you to everyone who made a donation or bid
on the silent auction baskets at last Thursday’s picnic for the Cathedral
Africa trip. Over $700 was raised. If you would like to make a donation, please
send it with your child to the office by this Friday. Checks can be made out to Cathedral High
School and Dick McMorrow. They plan on
doing great things with your donations!
Plant

ASA is getting a donation of plants to sell,
again this spring. All plants are being
donated by Mrs. Warzecka’s mother-in-law.
Plants will be available beginning Tuesday, May 30th in the

Lost
& Found Items
As we
find this school year coming to a close, our Lost & Found table is
continuing to pile up with items, instead of shrinking down.
Teachers
have the students stop at Lost & Found regularly, to check for any of their
items, but ASA would like to invite parents to stop in before the end of the
year as well. There are Under Armour
sweatshirts, SCSU gear, ASA sweatshirts, water bottles, winter items and so
much more! Please take a moment to browse the Lost & Found area
located at the bottom of the stairs by the main entry. All unclaimed items will be donated to
Catholic Charities.
Amazon
Smile
Great
news! All Saints Academy is listed as a charitable organization on Amazon
Smile. Whenever you log on to Amazonsmile.com and choose All Saints Academy,
Amazon will make a 0.5% donation of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to our
school. This works a lot like the Target program we used through last
year.
In order
to take advantage of this benefit, it is important that you enter amazonsmile.com, click on your "charity"-All Saints Academy and
then order as usual. (We receive a quarterly statement indicating
a total amount donated to our school.
There is not a breakdown of where it came from, so we cannot apply any
amounts to fund raising quotas.)
Family
Lunch
Lunch accounts
for students need to have a zero balance for their report cards to be mailed
out. You may check your balance on
School Speak. Please contact the office if you have questions about your
balance.
Thank
you from Mrs. Hoon
Thank you to all that stopped in/or send 'good
wishes' at my retirement party. It was so nice to see you all. It was a
wonderful celebration for me and my family. Thank you so much. I leave with
wonderful memories of ASA (and SPPM)! Blessings....Mrs. Hoon
Crayons
for Cancer
6th grade is collecting old, used,
