St. Al's Monday News

We are so excited to host our annual Hallowfest this Friday! Doors will open at 5:30 PM, and no tickets will be needed this year to participate at the booths. This is a wonderful community event and allows you an opportunity to get to know the families in your child’s class.

To help ensure your child's safety and well being, please note this is not a drop off event, it is important to accompany your child/ren to Hallowfest. The only cost to families will be for food and drinks in the cafeteria. A friendly reminder that all purchases in the cafeteria will be cashless (tap to pay).

The turf project on our outside playfield is underway, and we are excited that this will allow our students an area to play on during the winter months for both physical education classes and recess. We will keep you abreast of our progress.

As winter approaches, may we soak in the splendor of fall and appreciate the wonder of the leaves falling off the trees and the array of colors displayed all around us. God is in all things, especially the beauty that unfolds in the change of seasons.

Hope to see you at our All Saints Mass this Thursday, at 9:30 AM, at St. Aloysius Church!

In gratitude,

Angie Krauss & Dawn Manfred

Also, please send your child with a jacket for recess and ensure they have appropriate shoes for recess and physical education.
