Dear AS²A Families,

HAPPY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK! This week we recognize and celebrate the students, parents, volunteers, and community members who make up the All Saints STEAM Academy family.  We are so fortunate to teach and learn in a supportive environment that encourages and nurtures prayer.  The blessing of Catholic schools would not be possible without the deepest level of commitment from our parents, teachers and staff, volunteers, local churches, and broader communities.  Thank you for entrusting us to partner with you in the faith formation and academic development of your children.

THANK YOU for the hundreds of cereal boxes you donated for the hungry families of our community!  On Monday, we will have an all-school assembly with Ms. Alyson Novick, Director of Development for the Martin Luther King Center.  She will explain to the students where their donations go and how they benefit needy families.  We look forward to her visit as we learn the value of serving others.  

On Tuesday, all are welcome to join us as we celebrate our faith with an all-school Mass at 9 am at St. Lucy’s Church. Grade 6 students will host and provide the readings.  We look forward to seeing you there!

On Wednesday, AS²A celebrates our students with a Movie Day!  Please watch your email for movie permission slips.  Popcorn and movie theater treats will be provided.  

AS²A morphs into a museum on Thursday, February 1st for the much-anticipated History Night at the Museum!  At 6:00 pm, the hallway vignettes open, and then at 6:30 pm, the vignettes shut down and the classrooms open to feature the students’ research on Turning Points in History.  We hope you will join us for the evening - it is a highlight of the year!  

On Friday, with the help of our PTO, we will celebrate the commitment and efforts of our talented staff and faculty with a luncheon at school. Thank you to all who have volunteered to help with the festivities!
