FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Tomorrow, we celebrate the Feast Day of Oscar Romero, Patron Saint of All Souls School. Here is the biography about the life of Saint Oscar Romero.
Yesterday we celebrated the academic awards ceremony. It was wonderful to see so many of our students receive either an Honor or a Principal award. We also recognized students who were awarded recognition in the Mercy Art show and the Mercy Science Fair, along with students who participated in the Academic Decathlon from 7th and 8th Grade. We also received honorable mentions for students who participated in the Respect for Life essay. Isaac Borneo took out the Grand Prize for Grade 1.

St. Patrick’s Day Band
We are very proud of our school band who performed in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Our students were one of 6 schools who played together. It was a wonderful experience for the students performing in San Francisco on such a great day. Our band was nominated first place in the judging of the bands that participated in the parade. Many thanks to Mr. Frye our band teacher for all his inspiration and passion for the band and transferring it onto our students.

Cafeteria Payments
Dear All Souls Families,
You can now pay and add credit to your child/children's cafeteria account through SchoolSpeak. Your payment will be processed through PayPal with a 3% convenience fee for all transactions.
Sign-in to your SchoolSpeak account and select "Lunch Order" in the quick links menu on the left. The "Pay" tab will direct you to your payment options. You may pay the cafeteria balance through your existing PayPal account or as a guest using your credit or debit card. You may also add credit to your child/children's cafeteria account. If you wish, you may still make cash or check payments to the school office.
Please note, for the families that have a credit card on file I will no longer be charging your credit card for lunch payments. You are responsible for paying and adding credit to your cafeteria account.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Regards,
Ms. Escobar
