All Angels Episcopal Day School (AAEDS) is celebrating its 27th year of being an outreach ministry.  We were founded in 1988 to provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate early childhood experience to children of all abilities and faiths.  We currently have 55 children enrolled with a staff of 12 including a full-time Director.  This current year we will give out over $5000 in financial assistance to families who are in need.  We hold a National Accreditation from NECPA and have the highest star level given by the State of New Mexico. 

We have recently renovated the school by painting all classrooms and retiling the floors as well as updating furniture and materials.  We are now turning our sights on renovation of the school's playground and will focus our fundraising in the future on this effort.

Our students start each day in Chapel and are called to worship when a child rings the Chapel bell.  Our students also have music or art classes once a week and are learning Spanish in the Fall and French in the Spring. 

We feel very fortunate to have been so supported by the Parishioners of St. Michael and All Angels.  Especially during our major fundraiser, the Silent Auction that is held every year.  AAEDS is looking forward to growing our program not in size but in quality as we strive to be the best faith-based early childhood program in the State.

Casa San Miguel Food Pantry will host our fifth annual Burrito Breakfast Fundraiser on Sunday, October 18 .  This is our one and only fundraiser of the year and we want it to be a fun event for the whole church.  The cost this year is still $10 per burrito - same as all the past years.  We are buying the burritos from El Modelo - the best in town - and we will have both meat and vegetarian burritos.  We will sell advance tickets on Sunday, October 11, and the breakfast will be on the 18th.  You can take the burritos home or have them for breakfast in the church hall.  We will have tables set up and have plates and plasticware.  We will also provide coffee, juice, and salsa.  Please plan to join us on the 18th for a great family event.  Don't miss out.

The second Thursday of October falls on the 8th, and that is when St Michael's seniors will be getting together for the monthly High Scorers pot luck lunch in the church hall,  We gather at 12 noon, and new High Scorers are always wellcome.  It's informal, it's congenial, and it's fun.  No age limits, upper or lower.  If bringing a dish is a problem, come anyway; there's always plenty.  

The 2015 Jewelry Exchange was the most successful year ever for raising money for the building fund.  Our final total was $1,430.00!  Again, deep thanks to everyone who contributed and participated.
