Principal's Points
Hello Families,
Our staff and students have been blessed to be able to go outside for
recess recently, however many of our students arrive at school
insufficiently dressed for the weather. Please make sure that your
child(ren) arrives at school with adequate clothing to endure our cold
temperatures (above 20° including wind chill).
Today our students celebrated the Feast of St. Valentine with classroom
parties and much anticipation of the upcoming long weekend with no
school on Friday or Monday.
As we celebrate Valentine's Day this weekend, let us be reminded of the
true source of the love that we have been so blessed with here at All
rd
Saints Catholic. The following is a poem shared by our 3 grade
teacher, Mrs. Dittman, at our weekly staff prayer meeting.
God's Valentine Gift
God's Valentine gift of love to us
Was not a bunch of flowers;
It wasn't candy or a book
To while away the hours.
His gift was to become a man,
So He could freely give
His sacrificial love for us,
So you and I could live.
He gave us sweet salvation, and
Time Rescheduled
from Feb. 3
cancellation
Instruction, good and trueTo love our friends and enemies
And love our Savior, too.
Sat., Mar. 7
So as we give our Valentines,
Let's thank our Lord and King;
The reason we have love to give
Is that He gave everything.

experience Lenten spirituality by living in solidarity with people in need
around the world.

Market Day Fundraising and Kohls Volunteers
Thank you to everyone for your continued
support of Market Day Fundraising for our
school!
We wanted to share how Market Day has
impacted some of the opportunities we have been
able to offer to our students.
This year, we were able to purchase a Smart
Board for our preschool classroom from the
monies that were collected not only from our
Market Day Fundraiser, but also from the
participation of the Kohl's volunteer program
which awards ASCS with grant money each time
our Kohl's volunteers provide us with their
assistance.
Our goal is to maximize our funding resource
opportunities so that All Saints can continue to
provide the best education possible for our
students. Your participation helps to support
ongoing expenses here at All Saints.
Thank you for your continued support in making
All Saints...
ALL THE BEST!!
From the Clinic
We know that getting a good night's
sleep is important, but too few of us
actually make those eight or so hours of
sleeping a priority. For many of us with
sleep debt, we've forgotten what "being
really, truly rested" feels like. To further
complicate matters, stimulants like coffee
and energy drinks, electronic devices,
social media, televisions, and alarm clocks
interfere with our natural sleep/wake cycle.
Sleep needs vary across ages and are especially impacted by lifestyle
and health. To determine how much sleep you need, it's important to
assess not only where you fall on the "sleep needs spectrum," but also
to examine what lifestyle factors are affecting the quality and quantity of
your sleep such as work schedules and stress. In the "brown envelope"
this week is a Sleep Duration Recommendations Chart from the National
Sleep Foundation.
