A Family Atmosphere
All Saints Catholic Academy began with a group of local families, bonded by a shared vision for their children’s education. That family feeling has never left All Saints! While our family is considerably larger than it was 25+ years ago, the school maintains its friendly community atmosphere.
All Saints families come from many towns, counties, and parishes, with varying socioeconomical, religious, and cultural backgrounds. But, they have something in common: They are always willing to lend a hand in order to provide the best experiences for their children. We actively seek to include
parents, extended family, parishioners and community members in our school through:
- Volunteer opportunities
- Back to School Night
- Homecoming
- Coaching and clubs
- Concerts and performances
- Weekly Mass
- Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Dessert
- Teacher Appreciation Day
- Art show
- Fun Day
Many of our annual events would not be possible if not for the assistance of dedicated volunteers! We are especially grateful for our flourishing Parent Teacher Organization!
Parents commonly assist one another with transportation, carpool to extracurricular activities, share their career knowledge or passions, pass down uniforms, and donate specialty supplies to classrooms. As they say, “it takes a village,” and our village is thriving!
Student Relationships
But, it’s not just the parents that are working hard to make connections and strengthen our community spirit! Students form lasting friendships in an environment that emphasizes kindness, empathy, and responsibility. Unlike in other schools, you will regularly see 7th and 8th graders assisting younger students with shoes, zippers, etc. Students are often paired with those of another age group:
Lower school students pair up with pre-school students for reading buddies, writing buddies, or STEAM buddies.- 4th graders and 2nd graders team up for “community helper” projects.
- Older students accompany younger students to Mass and morning assembly
This forms bonds across grade levels. Older “buddies” often feel admired, and are looked up to as role models, heroes, and supports.
