Hi Friends,

I hope you have all had a wonderful week! I wanted to quickly remind everyone about a few things. First, if you are in 8th grade and plan to participate in the Rite 13 Ceremony, please register using the link below. The Rite 13 Rehearsal and Ceremony are beloved traditions at All Saints that celebrate and honor our 8th graders and their rite of passage moving towards adulthood. This is such a special time for this group and my hope is that everyone who is able to participate will do so. Additionally, please mark your calendars for January 30th...our first SNL together! Join us in The Attic for games and time to get to know each other. I can't wait to finally meet all of you next week!!

Enjoy your weekend!
 
Peace,
Hope
