Today our students celebrated the Feast of St. Valentine with classroom parties and much anticipation of the upcoming long weekend with no school on Friday or Monday. As we celebrate Valentine's Day this weekend, let us be reminded of the true source of the love that we have been so blessed with here at All rd Saints Catholic. The following is a poem shared by our 3 grade teacher, Mrs. Dittman, at our weekly staff prayer meeting. God's Valentine Gift God's Valentine gift of love to us Was not a bunch of flowers; It wasn't candy or a book To while away the hours. His gift was to become a man, So He could freely give His sacrificial love for us, So you and I could live. He gave us sweet salvation, and Time Rescheduled from Feb. 3 cancellation Instruction, good and trueTo love our friends and enemies And love our Savior, too. Sat., Mar. 7 So as we give our Valentines, Let's thank our Lord and King; The reason we have love to give Is that He gave everything. Reverse Raffle in McAlear Cntr.

We wanted to share how Market Day has impacted some of the opportunities we have been able to offer to our students. This year, we were able to purchase a Smart Board for our preschool classroom from the monies that were collected not only from our Market Day Fundraiser, but also from the participation of the Kohl's volunteer program which awards ASCS with grant money each time our Kohl's volunteers provide us with their assistance. Our goal is to maximize our funding resource opportunities so that All Saints can continue to provide the best education possible for our students. Your participation helps to support ongoing expenses here at All Saints. Thank you for your continued support in making All Saints... ALL THE BEST!! From the Clinic We know that getting a good night's sleep is important, but too few of us actually make those eight or so hours of sleeping a priority. For many of us with sleep debt, we've forgotten what "being really, truly rested" feels like. To further complicate matters, stimulants like coffee and energy drinks, electronic devices, social media, televisions, and alarm clocks interfere with our natural sleep/wake cycle. Sleep needs vary across ages and are especially impacted by lifestyle and health. To determine how much sleep you need, it's important to assess not only where you fall on the "sleep needs spectrum," but also to examine what lifestyle factors are affecting the quality and quantity of your sleep such as work schedules and stress. In the "brown envelope" this week is a Sleep Duration Recommendations Chart from the National Sleep Foundation.
