Saints Speak from Mrs. Marshall - 8/27/2026 - Parent and Teacher: Partnering for Student Success

I am sending Saints Speak bright and early today, as I will be out of the building most of the day for Diocesan principal meetings. It was great to see so many of you for Curriculum Nights this week. I hope you enjoyed visiting the classrooms, meeting with the teachers, and learning more about what to expect throughout the year. As always, please reach out with questions and concerns so we can partner with you to ensure your child has a great year.

Mass & Faith Buddies

If you plan to join us for Mass tomorrow, please RSVP here by noon today. Please note that we have also added the option to RSVP for our September Masses.

The students will also have time to meet with their Faith Buddies after Mass! Faith Buddies time is a favorite for our youngest and oldest students. It is a great opportunity for the older buddies to show leadership and for our younger students to get to know more students in the school. Starting in September, we will use this time to study a new saint and virtue each month.

Relics Presentation

We are very excited to offer our 5^th-8^th grade students a special opportunity on Tuesday, September 1^st. Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino, the retired Archbishop of Assisi, will be visiting All Saints Catholic Academy and bringing with him relics from St. Francis of Assisi, St. Clare of Assisi, and St. Carlo Acutis. Our 5^th-8^th grade students will participate in an afternoon assembly where they will hear from Archbishop Sorrentino, learn more about these saints, and venerate the relics. We are grateful to Fr. John Regan, our chaplain, for including ASCA in this opportunity!

While our afternoon presentation is not open to parents or visitors, all are welcome at St. Thomas the Apostle that evening (Tuesday, September 1^st). Click here for more information.

Attendance Reminders

At the Curriculum Nights this week, I mentioned the importance of consistent attendance and timeliness throughout the school year. We know that some absences cannot be avoided, and when your child is truly ill we want them to stay home, rest, and heal. However, we also want to emphasize the importance of attending consistently and arriving on time daily. Missing just two days of school per month might not sound like a lot, but it builds over time and equates to missing an entire year of instruction by the end of 8^th grade! Additionally, arriving late causes interruptions to your child’s day and the entire class. We appreciate your help with attendance and timeliness throughout the year.

Please also remember that if your child is absent for the day for any reason or goes home from school sick, he/she is unable to participate in or attend any school functions that afternoon or evening, including play or sports practices or games.

Upcoming Fall Fundraisers

All Saints has three fall fundraisers – the Fun Run, Trivia Night and Charleston Wrap sale. As a reminder, all fundraising opportunities are optional, and most are also focused on community building. Please participate to the extent you are able.

• Mark your calendars for the Fun Run on Friday, September 25^th! The Fun Run takes place during the school day, and all grades have an opportunity to run laps, collect pledges, and earn prizes. More information will be shared in September, but click here for a Save the Date flyer! 

• ASCA is excited to host a Trivia Night again this year! Trivia Night is Friday, October 2^nd, at 7pm (doors open at 6:30). This event is for adults only and is designed to be a FUN-raiser as well as fundraiser. Book your babysitter now and look for more information next week!

• All families are invited to participate in the Charleston Wrap sale, which runs until September 30 this year. Charleston Wrap isn’t a fundraiser for the school, it’s a fundraiser for you – all funds earned will come back to you as a tuition credit! Click here for more information, and keep an eye out for packets coming home soon. 

Athletics

Fall athletics are underway! Our volleyball teams and varsity flag football began last weekend, and JV football and cross country will begin this weekend. Best of luck to all our student-athletes!

We also were just notified that one of our 7^th graders, Max Marshall, set a league record in Track & Field last spring! Congrats to Max on his record 1600M run for the Suburban Parochial League!
