Mrs. Lake's Weekly Update
February 11, 2024
Dear All Saints Families,
This year Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday both occur on the same day. Therefore, in order to preserve the sacredness of Ash Wednesday all of our Valentine celebrations will occur on Tuesday, February 13. Students in grades K - 8 will celebrate Mass together at Saint John's Church on Wednesday at 9:30 am. We invite all our families to join us for this special time of fellowship and receiving of Ashes.

Athletics & Extracurricular Activities
This week, cheer wraps up for the season with two final competitions. Wrestling and spring musical practices continue and robotics has some extra practices to prepare for states. For the most up to date information on practices and competitions, including where and when, check out the calendar on FACTS! If you are having difficulty finding the calendar, please reach out to Terri Ward at (207) 942 - 09554. We are here to help!
Rice bowls for Lent
Lent is a time that we are asked to focus more intently on "almsgiving", which means donating money or goods to the poor and performing other acts of charity to the poor (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops). In order to encourage this with our families we will be sending a rice bowl home with the oldest child of each family on Monday. It is our hope that you will put it in a prominent place and fill it with change over the course of the next forty days. To learn about the impact your donation has please follow the link below. You will have the opportunity to return the bowls as we draw closer to Easter.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!
The Attic is in need of people to help on Saturdays from 10:00 - 12:00. Please sign up below if there is a week you can help out. This is an important time for the Attic as they take in items people are dropping off. Unfortunately, they have to shut their doors to donations if they do not have enough volunteers to help cover. Thanks in advance for the time you are able to give.
Lunch Orders for March
Lunch orders for March are due by Thursday, February 15. All ordering and payment is now done through FACTS. Reach out to Terri Ward at (207) 942 - 0955 if you have questions or need assistance with placing an order for your child.
