Annual St. Peter’s Pancake Breakfast in support of ASA
On Sunday, September 24th, The Knights of Columbus will be hosting a breakfast at St. Peter’s Church. The cost is $8/person, 5 and under are free. All proceeds will go to ASA!
Each year we ask St. Cloud parents/families to help work this breakfast and/or sell tickets. Tickets were sent home last week. The complete cost of each ticket can be applied towards your fundraising requirement of $350/child. Please turn in your money for sold tickets and any unsold tickets on Friday, Sept. 22. You must turn in the money and all unsold tickets to the office to get fundraising credit.
Please volunteer at the breakfast! If you are new to the All Saints Academy
family, this is a good time to meet people by working the breakfast.
Students are welcome to help as well – it’s a great way for them to provide service to their community. All hours go towards your family’s 15 volunteer hours/year. We're will be using SignUp.com to fill the various volunteer opportunities.
