As we sit down to write this update, we find ourselves reflecting on the little moments that occur at All Saints STEAM Academy on a daily basis. This week we enjoyed the excited laughter as students entered the building pointing out the snowman at the end of the parking lot wearing a traffic cone hat, while also sharing stories of their own snow day fun at home! As we hold the door and greet students, they walk briskly off to homeroom - so many smiles, so many good mornings, hellos, and thank yous. In the classrooms, teachers finalize lessons for the day while at the same time welcoming their students into classes. In between those classes, students are in the hallway or at lunch, engaged in their own debriefings about class or sharing thoughts about the upcoming winter vacation and the family events they are excited about. We hope your vacation is filled with the same joyful moments we enjoy each day. We look forward to the smiling faces and tales of family fun and adventure when we return.  

The Lenten season began on Ash Wednesday, February 14. In classrooms, children are learning to follow in the footsteps of Jesus to get closer to God. Students are focusing on prayer, fasting, and giving to others.  We look forward to continuing the Lenten journey when we return to school. 

Yearbook preparation is coming up! We have reached out with Dropbox requests for photos to fill our yearbook class pages. Keep the photos coming!

Reminders: 

Re-enrollment forms for the 2024-2025 school year were delivered to families via email this week.  Forms are due March 15, 2024. Please keep in mind: 

• In order to apply for tuition assistance, families must complete a tuition assistance application and submit it to our needs-assessment provider, FACTS Management
• Financial awards are calculated annually and are therefore not renewable - families must re-apply each year  
• Financial assistance may also be available to you through your parish. Once you complete your FACTS application, contact your parish for more information about their application requirements for additional tuition subsidy  
• If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the office.  We are happy to help!

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, 
God lives in us and His love is made complete in us.
