LUNCH INFORMATION FROM MIKE O'DONNEL:

• Attached is the lunch menu for the school year. 
• Negative account balances have been much improved. Thank you and let's keep rolling that way. 
• Challenge to the parents - do you know how to check what your child is buying at lunch? Go to Payschoolscentral.com and check the account. If it says lunch that is the full program lunch purchase. Anything under Ala carte is snacks, milk, or additional protein purchases. 
• We have seen many kids not eating their lunch and then purchasing snacks and eating those instead. We are going to be cracking down on this and not allowing snack purchases if at least half their lunch is not eaten. If they finish later and there is still time, we will allow them to buy snacks. 
• It is a good time to talk to your children about the importance of eating a good lunch. 
• Also, I have seen students buying snacks and sharing with friends. This is not allowed and should also be discussed with your students. 
• As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me @ modonnel@allsaints.cc

CYSC (Catholic Youth Summer Camp)

Believe it or not, many camps for the summer of 2024 are beginning registration this fall! Damascus Catholic Youth Summer Camp (CYSC) just north of Columbus, OH has been established a solid reputation as one of the most sought after camps for Catholic families. Starting in 2001 with a group of parents who wanted an experience of the Catholic Faith that was dynamic, adventurous, and joy-filled for their children, they established CYSC. CYSC is in such high demand they have been able to expand to locations in Michigan, and Wisconsin and continue to grow. Check out the video link below and their website for more information. As spots fill up quickly, we are looking to reserve a block for All Saints students to attend this summer 2024. Students who are in 5th grade-7th grade are eligible. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Tony Haslinger tonehas@cinci.rr.com or Emalee Ridgway eridgway@allsaints.cc.
