The annual AS²A Spelling Bee was held on Wednesday, January 18.  We are proud to announce sixth-grade student Anne Tauer as the Champion Bee and seventh-grader Rose Morrissey as First Runner Up.  Both girls will represent AS²A in the Regional Diocesan Spelling Bee held on February 1 at St. Mary’s School in Cranston.  Congratulations and best of luck to our Super Spellers!

The excitement is building for Catholic Schools Week.  Students are busy researching for their History Night at the Museum projects.  Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 2nd at 6:00.  All students and families are invited to attend. Don’t miss the fun!

If you are a sports fan, or live with one, you may have seen the College Football Championship game on Monday night pitting the University of Georgia Bulldogs against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.  The “Dawgs'' prevailed thanks to the help of offensive lineman and ASA alumnus, Xavier Truss, #73. Xavier visited AS²A in May of 2022 and was incredibly kind and patient answering the many questions from the awe-struck students.

Happy New Year! Classrooms are alive with talk of new beginnings and resolutions.  Let’s all promise to welcome this new year with a happy spirit and encourage each other to share kind messages with our classmates, read more often, listen well to our teachers, and see the good in others.
