Principal's Message
May the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ be always with you! I hope you and your families are having a wonderful summer. The faculty and staff of All Saints Catholic School is very happy that your child will be joining us this year as we start our 111th school year.
We have already been very busy planning for the start of school. As such, I would like to share some faculty updates. We welcome the following new teachers, Miss Maricela Olvera (PK3), Mrs. Katie Rodriguez (4th grade), Mrs. Marcy Allen (5th grade), and Ms. Sciortino (Computers). We also had some other faculty transitions happen over the summer. Mrs. Ruiz had a relocation happen within her family that moved them back to Mexico. She was very saddened to leave the All Saints community and sends her continued prayers and blessings for all of us. Mr. Jaime Martinez has been hired to take over teaching 1st grade. Finally, due to conflicting schedules for the upcoming school year, Mr. Murillo and Coach O'Malley had to step down from their positions at All Saints. We are currently looking at other options for our after school music program and we welcome Coach Romo who will take over for PE & Sports.
I am also pleased to announce that we are in our 2nd year of our Two Way Immersion program that now goes through Kindergarten. To further assist and support our strategic initiative with this, Boston College hired a support coach for us. We welcome Leticia Chavez, as our school mentor. Leticia is retired from FWISD and was a teacher and coordinator within the Bilingual Department. We are excited for her years of expertise and passion for bilingual education and Catholic schools that she brings to us at All Saints.
Great things are indeed happening at All Saints and I am honored and inspired to be your leader for this upcoming school year! Many thanks to you for making the choice for Catholic education and entrusting us with your children this year. Together, with God at our helm, we will embrace our school theme this year to "Look to Him and Be Radiant" in all that we do this school year!
Looking forward to meeting and seeing everyone in a few short weeks!
In Christ,
Ms. Prado
