April at a glance:

FITNESS FUN(D) WALK INFORMATION?..VERY IMPORTANT

On Friday, April 16th our school day will begin with drop off at Millstone Golf Club at 8:00 am.  Please note that permission slips for the Fitness Fun(d) Walk were sent home along with sponsorship envelopes.  Permission slips and sponsorship envelopes with all money collected must be returned to school by TODAY Monday, April 12th.  This is so we can coordinate transportation and count funds to present awards to the top fundraising classes and individuals the day of the walk.  We encourage all parents to participate in the walk.  If you do not want your child to participate, you must let us know so that we can make arrangements at school.  Early Learning Center students will only be allowed to walk at Millstone if one of their parents accompanies them on the walk and transports them back to school.  There will be an alternative course at school for the ELC students.  If you are able to help with the Fitness Fun(d) walk or have any questions please contact Amy Steisslinger or Elisabeth Brooks. 

Take Advantage Now:

Please remember reenrollment for the 2010-2011 school year has begun.  In the past few weeks we have been touring and/or sending out information to prospective students and have now enrolled some of those students.  We want all current students to be assured a spot for next school year, so be sure to return your enrollment agreements as soon as possible.  If you need any forms please see Nikki Wills or download them from the ASES website.

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!

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).

Library News

Thank you to those who have sent in their check for $15 to support our Library Birthday Program!  The books have been wonderful additions to our school library and the children have really enjoyed having the book presented in their honor at Chapel.  Remember, all you have to do is write a check for $15 approximately one month before your child’s birthday and Mrs. Spain will purchase a new book that is currently needed in the library in your child’s honor.

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!

PTSO:

Calling ALL parents:  Have you looked around at the fun activities hosted by PTSO and thought ,”Wow!, I’d like to be a part of that!” or maybe you have been considering ways to become more involved in the school. PTSO is looking for a few good parents to serve as PTSO board members or Parent Reps for the 2010-2011 school year. If you feel called in this direction, please contact Anne Sheedlo at 587-8643, e-mail: sheeds134@bellsouth. net or Renee Siddiqi at 277-6972, e-mail: reneesiddiqi@gmail.com.

Please start gathering up all of your box tops that you have been saving. PTSO will be having a huge drive after Spring Break and will be collecting them. These box tops help support our art program!

“Children’s Corner”:

If your son(s) or daughter(s) have an outstanding achievement you would like us to feature, email me at ktorres.ases@charter.net and include “Children’s Corner” in the subject line of the email.  We will pick a few every week to include in the newsletter.

Golf Tournament Info:

Parents,

Each family should have received a packet of information the week prior to spring break regarding the golf tournament.  (Permission slips are attached to the newsletter email).  The 15th Annual Masters Golf Tournament is scheduled for April 16th at 1.00 at Millstone Golf Club.  This is the afternoon following the FunWalk!  Please return the volunteer sheet or golf team sheet and/or sponsor form to the office as soon as possible as banners have to be printed and teams have to be organized.  If your child did not get home with a packet, there are extras in the office with Nikki Wills.  The golf tournament is our longest running fundraiser for the school and is essential to this year's operating budget, so please volunteer to help.  Please contact any of the following parents if you have questions.   Thanks so much to the golf committee....

Lindy Potter, Bob Vick, Paula Gibson, Randy Harville, Scott Kanipe, Sam and Amy Neill, Tina Murrow, Renee Siddiqi and Kathy Haun!!
