Weekly Parent Newsletter
All Saints Academy, St. Cloud Campus
November 9, 2017
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.
Winter Clothing during Recess
Now that winter has descended upon us, students need to dress appropriately for outdoor recess. They go outside on most days. Please send boots and snow pants to school everyday. Wearing the appropriate winter clothing keeps them warm and shoes/clothing dry during the school day. Students may leave snow pants and boots at school on their hook.
PAA Basketball
The first PAA basketball game is December 9th. If your child is interested in playing basketball, please turn in the paperwork as soon as possible, practice will begin soon. PAA forms are available on School Speak or in the office. Please be sure to let Lena Coe, PAA Director know if you are interested in coaching. You may email her at coefamily816@gmail.com
We are in need of volunteers for the Boys’ basketball team.
Thanksgiving Food Drive
As we prepare for Thanksgiving, All Saints Academy remembers those in our community who are less fortunate. Our Thanksgiving Food Drive will benefit Catholic Charities Food Shelf. Please fill this bag with dry goods to help us live out our mission to “Share generously.” Food bags can be dropped off between Nov. 13 th – 17 th in the front entryway of school.
