Reenrollment Time is Here!
As we begin the reenrollment process for the next academic year, we begin with a huge thank you. Thank you to our families who entrust their children to All Saints each day. Our community makes All Saints a special place where we not only learn, we discover and foster talents, achieve goals, serve our community and build our faith.
What is reenrollment? Reenrollment is the opportunity for current students to enroll for the 2023 – 2024 school year. This window of time is exclusive to current students.
Why do we reenroll in February? We reenroll in February to plan for the next school year. Each and every family plays a vital role in that planning. All Saints is an amazing school and it is at its absolute best when the administration has time to adequately plan, and can therefore deliver the best education possible. Staffing, facilities, number of class sections, elective offerings and scheduling all depend on reenrollment. While the school is always anticipating and planning the next steps, the spring is a crucial time as the following year begins to take shape.
What are the dates for reenrollment? Keep an eye on your email because reenrollment links will be emailed on February 10th. Current families are asked to submit the reenrollment agreement by February 28th. Students who have pending applications will be able to enroll on March 1st.
Is there a reenrollment fee? A non-refundable fee of $350 per student will be billed to your account in April. If you would prefer to make another form of payment or have billing questions, please contact Dana McNeice in the Business Office.
Where can I find more information? Grade level meetings will be held beginning next week and continue through February 9th. Keep an eye on your email as meeting dates and details will be sent to parents in each grade level.
Third Annual Day of Giving - February 10, 2023
All Saints is known for its culture of community and there’s no better time to come together and celebrate than on our annual Day of Giving. February 10th will be a special day on which All Saints will be challenged to raise $30,000 in order to receive a matching gift. Every donation will be matched up to this amount which doubles the value of each gift we receive! We invite parents, grandparents, faculty, alumni, and friends to come together and help us reach our goal.
Thank You Van Donors
Special thanks to all those who contributed to the appeal made at Legacy for funds to purchase two new vans for the school. During the Legacy Event, Head of School Robert Brashear shared about the school’s need for additional transportation to be used by students in all divisions. Many student activities such as field trips, community service projects, competitions and athletic events, take students to a variety of destinations both in and out of town. A 15 passenger van can provide what is needed for many of those excursions. We’ll be excited in the coming weeks to announce the arrival of the vans when they are delivered.

PATRIOT SPOTLIGHT
Two Patriot Students Earn Eagle Scout
Congratulation to Junior Olivia Needham and Senior Rowe Osborne who both received their Eagle Scout confirmation at Scout Troop 157’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony held earlier this month.
Needham is one of two female Eagle Scouts in the area. She joined Scouts in 2019 and has served in many leadership opportunities in the BSA including helping start the first girls troop in Lubbock; serving as Senior Patrol Leader for over a year during COVID; serve as the first female Lodge Officer in the area; Section Officer in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana; and being one of the first female National Committee members of the entire Southern Region. Her leadership positions include everything from leading announcements for the troop to directing over eight hours of content for a YouTube Live/Show in Houston attended virtually by thousands of scouts.
She earned her Eagle Scout last April by completing the many requirements including the Eagle Scout Project. Her project was to give back to the Lubbock Moonlight Musicals Amphitheater by planting eight trees that will provide shade for audience members and block the sun for actors on the stage.
Needham is a member of the school’s National Honor Society, Speech and Debate Team, One Act Play Team, and Literacy Society Club. She has been a member of the National Charity League since the 7th grade and is a member of the Lubbock Symphony Guild and the Assembly Club.
Osborne has held various leadership positions within the Troop including senior patrol leader and assistant senior scoutmaster. In 2019 he was inducted by his peers into the Order of the Arrow. He then completed National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), a week-long leadership skills workshop with Circle Ten Council in Dallas. After being asked to staff the NYLT program with Circle Ten the following two summers his experiences inspired him to seek more advanced training with the National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE) at Summit Betchel in West Virginia in 2021.
For his Eagle Scout project, Osborne designed planned and organized the construction of cubbies for backpacks and gear at the John Wilson Boys and Girls Club. He researched options, materials and collected supplies and consulted with the Boys and Girls Club director regarding needs in order to bring the project to fruition. Osborne worked with troop volunteers to recycle a large shelf donated from All Saints as well as utilizing new lumber to build two 6 ft x 4 ft cubby systems. In addition, he provided online safety training for the children utilizing the cyber chip online safety program and a secure charging box for Kindle e-readers.
At All Saints, Osborne is a member of the National Honor Society, Student Council, High School Band, Jazz Band, Drumline, Varsity Basketball Team and Varsity Track Team.
Congratulations to both of you on this prestigious honor.
Lipe Wins Playbill Essay Contest
Each month over the past year, Prudential gave away free tickets to theatre fans across the country through their Standing Ovations Giveaway presented by Playbill. One of entrants who walked away with tickets was All Saints freshman Anna Lipe.
“I like looking at articles on the Playbill website for fun, and I saw a notice on there about the contest,” says Lipe. “I’ve always loved musicals and Broadway, so that was a large reason why I entered.”
For the chance to win, entrants answered the question “Which Broadway character or song inspires you, and why” in a short essay.
“A few months ago, I got to see the national Broadway tour of the musical Anastasia in Lubbock,” says Lipe. “I immediately fell in love with the character Anya because of how independent and confident she is. Her character really resonated to me, being someone adopted from Russia.”
At the start of the new year, Anna put her tickets to use seeing Beetlejuice four days before it closed. She credits her education at All Saints with helping her snag the prize.
“My teachers have helped me build my writing skills to the point where I feel confident enough to enter contets such as this one,” says Lipe. “It took me about a month to get my essay to the point where I was comfortable submitting it. I think this process took a lot of patience, not just on my end, but also my teachers and friends who helped me.”
“I’m extremely grateful for everything this experience has taught me.”

MS Basketball
The basketball season is winding down for our seventh and eighth grade athletes. It has been a great season with all of our young athletes competing well and continuing to improve their skills.
There are many competing schools that have not formed a seventh grade girls team this season. It has been unfortunate for our young athletes but our seventh grade girls haven’t missed a beat and continue to improve each day. Last weekend, they brought home their first big win of the season with a score of 38-7 over KPA.
Good luck to our Eighth grade boys and girls teams that will compete this weekend at the CTK tournament with the WTCAA Tournament right around the corner.

The AP Capstone Seminar and Research students will present their research studies to an audience filled with family and friends at 5:30 p.m. Thursday (January 19) in the school’s Band Hall. After their formal presentations the students will answer audience questions regarding their research.
The Capstone program is a two-year course with the first-year students enrolled in the Seminar class and the second-year students enrolled in the Research class.
AP Seminar is an interdisciplinary course that encourages students to demonstrate critical thinking, collaboration, and academic research skills on topics they choose as teams. The Seminar students spent one month writing reports about a problem they chose to explore as a team. Once their reports were completed; they spent two weeks creating a presentation focusing on a solution for the problem their team explored. Their team presentations are videoed and submitted to College Board for scoring.
The Seminar students are juniors Campbell Carper, Calvin Carpenter, Luke D’Alise, Joshua Eckert, Rohan Felton, Jeye Johnson, Cooper Locke, Caden Mead, Olivia Needham, Jameson Seal, Arch Underwood, Curtis Yates and Matthew Zhang. They are coached by Pam Ryan.
The Research students are seniors Abigail Barritt, Sara Carothers, Portia Clary, and Campbell Howe. They are coached by Dann Wigner.
