All Saints Regional
Catholic School recently celebrated Catholic School’s Week with the
theme of “Catholic School’s Light the Way”. The week began on Sunday
with opening liturgies at each of the school’s five regional parishes,
St. Boniface Martyr, Sea Cliff,
St.
Hyacinth, Glen Head,
St. Mary, Roslyn,
St. Patrick, Glen Cove
and
St. Rocco, Glen Cove,
followed by Open Houses at our two
cam
puses for current and prospective
families.
On Monday, the
children focused on “Catholic School’s Light the Way” by donating food
to outreach programs at the school’s five regional parishes, collecting
gift cards for families of children being cared for at the Winthrop
University Hospital Pediatric/Oncology Unit, and displaying their
artwork at the Glen Cove Public Library. Tuesday, the students
concentrated on vocations as 8th grade students acted as
“Teachers for the Day” for the younger grades and clergy from the
regional parishes visited with students.
On Wednesday, All
Saints Regional Catholic School focused on the students with the
suspension of all daily homework and uniform requirements and an
assembly featuring the Simon Sez Show; this multi-sensory assembly
centered around the Simon Sez framework to promote better listening,
showing respect, staying focused, saying no to peer pressure and that
it’s OK to make mistakes.
The nation was the
focal point of Thursday’s activities as students prayed the rosary for
peace together and remembered our local soldiers. Students committed to
pray for specific community members in the armed forces during the year
by writing the soldier’s name on paper flags on display in windows
throughout the school. The day’s events were concluded in the afternoon
with the celebration of Spirit Day as the teachers and 8th
grade students engaged in a competitive volleyball game.
ASR concluded
Catholic School’s Week on Friday by centering activities on “Catholic
School’s Light the Way in Faculty, Staff and Volunteers”. A closing
Mass was celebrated with the entire student body and several parents; a
Volunteer Thank You Breakfast followed during which kindergarten through
2nd graders sang to volunteers. Later in the day, a special
luncheon was held for the school’s faculty and staff. For further
