Mrs. Von Feldt's End of Year Letter
Dear All Saints Families,
As the school year comes to a close, our minds and hearts are
filled to the brim. It’s been a great year and All Saints Catholic School
is a great school! Together we’ve learned much and shared experiences
that will remain with us in the years to come. The strength of our
community and wholehearted passion to make our school a wonderful place of
learning for our children primarily but for all of us makes All Saints Catholic
School truly a special place.
Special thanks to all of you who have contributed in ways
small, large and unimaginable! Organizing at events, working at these
events, showing up to support your children, serving on committees, sharing
your talents, supporting our work in countless ways and providing the resources
to do what we dream and know what is good for children are just some examples
of how you have helped us. Thanks for getting your kids to school on time
each day, for kind notes of encouragement that mean so much, for making sure
homework gets done…and turned in. The most important way you have helped
us is your continued prayer for All Saints Catholic School. For
these and a million other things, we are truly grateful.
To those of you who are leaving us for new places and
adventures, we wish you all the best. Congratulations to our very capable
8th graders who are onto a new stage in their academic career!
Also we wish the best to Deb Frick who is also retiring after
teaching at All Saints Catholic School for 20 years. She has
certainly been a wonderful gift to us throughout the years. We want to
thank Rose Miller who has been our bookkeeper at All Saints Catholic School for
14 years. Rose is retiring and moving to Florida. We are
also saying farewell to Donny Linnenkamp our long time crossing guard, who has
worked so hard to keep our children safe. Donny is also retiring.
We are also so excited to announce that All Saints Catholic
School has received a $62,073 grant from the Scott County Regional
Authority. We will be having a zSpace Virtual and Augmented Reality
Learning Lab at All Saints Catholic School! We will be giving you more
information as we get closer to the beginning of the 2018-19 school year but
believe me this is very, very exciting learning opportunity for our student’s
grades 2-8. Our students Grades K-5 will be having all new Reading
Curriculum and Grades K-8 will be having all new Science Curriculum for the
coming school year. Can you tell that I am very excited?!! We are
able to purchase this new curriculum due to a gift from Monsignor Morrissey’s
estate.
Just so you can plan ahead…the first day of school begins on
August 23 for K-8th. Preschool will begin on August 27th. We will be having a
Pre-School Parent Meeting on August 20 at 6:00 pm if your child is enrolled in
either of the morning sessions. Afternoon Preschool Parents should come
on August 22 at 6:00 pm. Our Kindergarten Parent Meeting will be on August 9
from 6pm-7pm while our Unpack Your Backpack night is August 21 from
4:30-6pm. Also on August 21, we will be having an 8th Grade Parent
Meeting from 6:00-6:30pm. I am so happy to be the Principal of All Saints
Catholic School! This school is amazing and so are all of you!
God Bless You.
Mrs. Jeanne O’Brien Von Feldt
