knowledge – character – compassion… in a tradition of faith
February 2, 2011 Feast of the Presentation of the Child Jesus “KNOWLEDGE – CHARACTER – COMPASSION… IN A TRADITION OF FAITH” Dear parishioners and friends of All Saints: Our children are important and have a special place in our parish. Our school is one of our greatest treasures and so we generously contribute in a festive way tonight on behalf of our children who God has entrusted to our care. This year we take special pride in the recognition of All Saints as a BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE and “CATHOLIC SCHOOL OF THE MONTH” by the national publication “Today’s Catholic Teacher”. I am delighted that you are here tonight to celebrate Casino Night and Auction 2011. A special ‘thank you’ to the PTO Planning Committee for their wonderful work in helping make this evening a success. I continue to be inspired by the parents, faculty, administration and staff who make All Saints School a place of excellence in faith and learning and of course, our children, for whom we gather tonight. Your support of the school is greatly appreciated. Let us celebrate together, and enjoy this evening in thanksgiving to Almighty God for our families and parish. Love and Blessings, Fr. Bob Cilinski Pastor 1 A Message from Our Casino Night & Auction Committee Chairperson Dear Parents and Friends of All Saints School, It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 2011 All Saints Casino Night & Auction. We have a wonderful evening of games and entertainment planned for you. I thank you for joining us to celebrate and support our wonderful Catholic School. Regardless of the activity, I am always struck by the unbelievable generosity of the All Saints community, the process of coordinating tonight’s Casino Night & Auction was no exception. Along every step of the planning process, parents, teachers and staff of All Saints constantly surprised me with their giving of their time, talent and treasures. Their generosity has made the process of creating tonight’s event feel effortless. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Conroy & Father Bob for their leadership & unwavering support; to Ann Potocnak for her many talents, ideas and enthusiasm; to the Auction leadership for their dedication, professionalism and collaborative spirit; and to all the Auction volunteers who were willing to serve in any capacity needed. It was an honor to work with each of you and I thank you for being a part of tonight’s success. Most of the prizes and auction items for tonight’s event have been donated by members of our school & parish community and many surrounding businesses. It is though their donations that the PTO will be able to utilize the proceeds of this evening in support of the school. Thank you for being our guest this evening and for your generous support of the All Saints Catholic School. In Christ’s Peace, Carol Mirko Rice 2 February 12, 2011 Dear Parents and Friends of All Saints, Tonight it is my pleasure to welcome you to our Casino Night & Auction. We gather this evening in support of our commitment to excellence in Catholic education and we celebrate the fact that All Saints is a place where learning is integrated with the very best traditions of our faith. The success of All Saints is in great part due to the parish community and the PTO, for it is through their support that our students have access to state-of-the-art learning tools and resources. Through the generosity of our parent community, great things truly happen for the children of All Saints! One need only walk through our building and observe students working with ACTIV Board technology or view the sculptures fired in our school kiln to see firsthand the difference you make in the daily lives of the children. The funds raised from this year’s event will enable us to continue to provide our students a premier educational experience. The auction proceeds create a third source of funding in support of the operating budget and classroom resources. As such, we are able to continue our commitment to maintaining affordable tuition rates while investing money in the classrooms, directly impacting the learning environment. I wish to thank all of the individuals and businesses who have so graciously offered their support for this event. Such an occasion is only possible because of the dedication of many parents and friends within our community who have planned and worked diligently behind the scenes. In a special way, I wish to extend a word of thanks to Mrs. Carol Rice, auction chairperson, as well as the many members of the committee. Without their enthusiasm, creativity and generous sharing of time & expertise, such a wonderful event would not be possible. I also wish to extend a word of appreciation to all in attendance this evening. Through your participation in tonight’s event, you are contributing in a meaningful way to the continued success of our school. On behalf of the students and faculty, thank you for your support! With sincere thanks and appreciation, David E. Conroy, Jr. Principal 3 50/50 Raffle: $2 each or 6 for $10 Tickets available throughout the evening!

Please accept our apologies if we have inadvertently omitted you from this list. 8 A Message from Our PTO President Dear Friends of All Saints School, On behalf of the PTO, and the Auction Committee, I graciously welcome you to this year’s event. We thank you for your continued support of All Saints School. Tonight’s event is an example of community-building and fundraising combined, two of the PTO’s primary objectives. Thanks! With your support, the PTO is able to continue to complement the school in several ways. Among our student activities, the PTO sponsors the Christmas Parade entry, An Evening with St. Nicholas, the Eighth Grade Graduation, All Saints Feast Day and Catholic Schools Week ice cream, as well as Class Field Trips. For our teachers and staff, we help with start-up funds and Christmas bonuses, appreciation luncheons and, this year, a completely redesigned break room. As classroom needs arise, such as maintenance of the ACTIV boards, the PTO is there to help. Celebrations for the whole school community, such as the much-anticipated Back to School BBQ, are enjoyed by a growing number each year. Of course, none of the above would be possible without the generosity of time and talents of the collective family of All Saints: teachers and staff, children and parents, and our partners in the community. I would also like to extend a special thanks to Carol Rice and the Auction Committee for the months of hard work that make tonight’s event possible. Again, thank you for attending this evening and for your continued, generous support!
