Mrs. Lake's Weekly Update
March 31, 2024
Dear All Saints Families,
He is risen! Alleluia! Happy Easter to all of our families and congratulations to those who received partial sacraments or fully entered into the church at Easter Vigil. I also want to extend my congratulations to our 8th grade class who did an amazing job presenting, Mary's Way of the Cross on Good Friday. Many thanks go to Mrs. Rehmeyer who spent countless hours rehearsing with the students, outfitting the costumes and refining the script. Her dedication to the spiritual growth of these amazing students was evident to all who attended Friday's presentation.
This week we look forward to seeing students in grades 3 - 8 perform the musical, Once Upon a Parable. There is a show Friday night from 6:30 - 7:30 pm and again Saturday afternoon from 3:00 - 4:00 pm. Under the direction of Mrs. Duron and Mrs. Hancock, the students have been working for weeks to bring you this special production.

Spring is in the Air!
Weather permitting spring sports will start this Wednesday, April 3. The coaches are as follows:
Baseball Team: Andy Newell

We currently have 30 players signed up for the track team. If you are available to help in any way, please reach out to Daniel Forbes at daniel.forbes@portlanddiocese.org.
Practice times, meets, and game times/locations can all be found on the FACTS calendar. We will do our best to keep this as accurate and up to date as possible.
When the weather causes us to cancel practices or games, we will communicate it to families through our FACTS alert system and post it on facebook.
Looking forward to the warmer weather and another great sports season!
Early Release on Monday, April 8
On Monday April 8th, we will have an early dismissal in order to allow families the chance to travel into the path of the upcoming solar eclipse. SJC will dismiss at 11:30 am, and SMC will dismiss at 11:40 am. There will be no lunch served that day and all those who had ordered have been issued a refund. An intercampus bus will run between the two campuses that morning and at the early release time. Extended daycare is available for those who sign up in advance.
For those who are interested, we are offering a special solar eclipse viewing event for students and families of All Saints Catholic School. This will be an optional after school event at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Lincoln, Maine (about one hour north of Bangor). We are allowed to use the parking lot and indoor bathrooms from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. The full eclipse will happen at 3:30 in the afternoon. There will be no school transportation provided since this is an after school event.
If you would like to join us, please sign up at this link and indicate the number of people attending, as well as the number of solar viewing glasses needed. Mrs. Rehmeyer has about 100 glasses available for $2 each, payable on the day of the eclipse. The eclipse glasses meet or exceed the International Standard Association (ISO) and American Astronomical Association (AAS) requirements. It is important to never look at the sun with bare eyes!
The Hannaford helps program is back again for another year. The program allows shoppers to earn 3 School Dollars for every 4 participating products purchased. This year at checkout, customers will receive a School Dollar printout they can use to donate to any school enrolled in this program.
To redeem School Dollars towards All Saints Catholic School, all shoppers need to do is enter the unique printout code and store number on the Hannaford Helps Schools program website and select their school. If instead you chose to drop your receipt in the place provided by Hannaford, the total School Dollars collected will be evenly distributed among all participating schools in the area.
Just a reminder that the Attic is open for donations from 10am - 12 noon every Wednesday and Saturday should you have items you no longer need.
Thank you for your support of our thrift store!
