From Mrs. Blake,
Hello Families! I hope everyone had a very relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving
break!
As Advent begins, please remember to talk to your children about this special time as
we prepare for the birth of Jesus.
Advent comes from the Latin word meaning “coming.” Jesus is coming, and Advent is intended to be
a season of preparation for His arrival. While we typically regard Advent as a joyous season, it is also
intended to be a period of preparation, much like Lent. Prayer, penance and fasting are appropriate
during this season.
ASCS Saintly Notes
December 02, 2015
Advent is not as strict as Lent, and there are no rules for fasting, but it is meant to be a period of selfpreparation. The purple color associated with Advent is also the color of penance. The faithful should
fast during the first two weeks in particular and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The color of the Third Sunday of Advent is rose. This color symbolizes joy and represents the
happiness we will experience when Jesus comes again. The Third Sunday is a day of anticipatory
celebration. It is formerly called “Gaudete” Sunday; gaudete means “rejoice” in Latin.
Finally, Sundays during Advent, just as during Lent, should not be given to fasting, but instead to
celebration because we celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord every Sunday. It is important to
remember, however, there are no particular rules for how the laity should observe Advent.
Below is a link with some cute activities for you and your families.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
Blessings! Mrs. Blake
Gentle Reminder
Even with the dropping temperatures, the students will be going out for recess when it’s
dry. Please send your child to school dressed appropriately for the weather conditions
they’ll encounter at recess. Also, due to temperature fluctuations in the building, a
sweatshirt or sweater may be needed. Please keep in mind and remind your child that
only uniform approved sweatshirts and sweaters may be worn in the classroom. ASCS
sweatshirts may be purchased from our spirit wear if you need one and sweaters can be
found at Academic Outfitters. Thank you for your cooperation.
Inclement Weather
In the case of inclement weather All Saints Catholic School will follow the
Plano Independent School District weather closings. Please watch/listen to
your local news stations for weather updates and closings for PISD.
Since we have families traveling from significant distances we always encourage you to
make your best personal decisions for travel on the roads during inclement weather.
Beta Club Movie Time Gr. 33-5

watch our afternoon movie, Rio 2, on Thursday, December 3 from

The ASCS Dad’s Club is sponsoring our ASCS entry in the

people treats and dog treats to the crowd. The band, drill
team, Cub Scouts, and Girls Scouts are braving the cold
weather, and we would love even more participation! If

How Participation In Wrestling Can Benefit The Football Player
by Robert C. Loveless,
Instructor of Health, Physical Education and Recreation /
Wrestling Coach, Thiel College,
Greenville, Pennsylvania
In this, the era of sport specialization, many young men feel that in order to excel in one individual sport; they must devote their entire
training regime to that particular sport. This concept is indeed unfortunate to many athletes in the sense that skills associated with one
sport may compliment the skills associated with and demanded by an entirely different sport.
No stronger correlation exists between that of football and wrestling. Far too often the football player can be found in the weight room
concentrating on developing upper body strength through such exercises as curls, bench presses, etc., after the completion of the
regular season. Now obviously, weight training conducted in the proper manner serves as an excellent supplement to any training
program. Unfortunately, however, in many cases the athlete who is constantly "pumping iron" may be the same athlete who is
neglecting such developmental areas as agility, reaction time, flexibility, balance awareness and cardiovascular endurance.
The sport of wrestling, therefore, can be of particular value to football players. Wrestling not only provides a more qualified
football candidate, but it also gives him a unique kind of training he can receive nowhere else.
The following nine reasons should be considered by football candidates in regards to why they should participate in
wrestling. (particularly in the high school level):
1. Wrestling helps eliminate fear of harsh body contact.
2. Wrestling maintains muscle flow and supple pliability.
3. Wrestling teaches the athlete to roll with a fall and avoid injury.
4. Wrestling will help the athlete in the development of timing.
5. Wrestling will aid in the development of coordination.
6. Wrestling will improve one's sense of balance.
7. Wrestling will provide flexibility and stretching of the muscles for bulky linemen as well as lean running backs.
8. Wrestling serves as an excellent cardiovascular endurance training program during the "off season" (this aspect is often neglected
by the football players who feel that power lifting is the cure for all problems). As one great Olympic weight lifter once said, "It does me
absolutely no good whatsoever if I have a million dollar body with a ten cent heart." This could be one of the reasons why every football
season it is not uncommon to hear of players passing out and dying during pre-season workouts. Certainly it gives one something to
think about and raises many questions in the area of cardiovascular conditioning required for football.
9. Wrestling starts the athlete thinking about moves to counter his adversary.
Now granted, wrestling is not the solution to all conditioning and training problems, but it comes pretty close. Certainly it is an
alternative which should be considered by the high school football player who is too short for or has no desire to play basketball and is
seeking a way to add to his weight training program in a way that will in turn assist him in the development of skills associated with
football. Success in wrestling is dependent primarily upon strength, agility and endurance, in addition to knowledge of the correct
techniques. If a person is strong and agile, it is likely that he can develop into an excellent wrestler. In addition to the physical
benefits one will experience through wrestling are the “side effects" that also develop within wrestlers. Such characteristics as
self- discipline, nutrition awareness and self confidence. This is valuable training that is found in wrestling perhaps more than any
other sport. So, football players, after you play your last game of the season, when you’re on your way to the weight room, don't pass
by the wrestling room too quickly, as you may also be passing by a great opportunity to develop valuable skills used in football.
