Please tell your friends and neighbors about All Saints' Episcopal School. We would love to take them on a tour and tell them about our awesome school!

Thank you, thank you thank you!  On behalf of every parent at this school, I thank Jane Hopson for chairing this year's Extreme Rummage Sale!  You who donated items, set-up, worked the sale, and cleaned up, made over $7,700 for our school.  Many continue to ask what we do with this money.  Well, it pays for almost 3 months of our electric bill, or pays for one year of textbooks, or . . .

The point is that all of our institutional advancement (Annual Fund, Auction, Fall Ball, Golf Tourney, Fund Walk, etc.) make up the difference between tuition and what it really costs to run our school! 

Whether you are a highly visible volunteer or one of the many "behind the scenes" types, we thank you for keeping our tuition as affordable as possible. 

In God's name,

Henry G. Selby

Headmaster

Reminder to parents:  as you heard, in family chapel, all offerings from chapel will be sent for Haitian relief until the end of this school year.  If you wish to make additional donations you may place cash in an envelope and mark it "ERD Haiti"; make checks payable to ERD and write "Haiti" on the memo line.  Sandi Elfast in the business office will see that these donations are mailed to our relief organization (Episcopal Relief and Development).

Thank you to the PTSO who donated $50 to the Library for new books!  We are happy to have some exciting new titles coming soon!

Thank you to everyone who helped support PTSO by purchasing Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Our sale was a huge success!A special thank you to Annemarie and Sara Spain for making the early morning doughnut run to Knoxville to pick up the doughnuts.

Thanks, Anne
