2020-21 Annual Fund Campaign
Each year All Saints invites our community to support the school’s academic and learning environment by making a tax-deductible gift to the Annual Fund. These gifts directly support student programming, technology, athletics, fine arts, and much more. Because tuition alone does not cover 100% of what is needed to educate a student, the Annual Fund provides the additional revenue needed.
Thank you to the following donors who have already contributed to the All Saints 2020-21 Annual Fund. Our campaign will continue through May 31. Gifts can be made online or contact Celeste Thompson at cthompson@allsaintsschool.org in the Advancement office.

Thankful for Faculty Campaign
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Parent Group is continuing our annual “Thankful For Faculty” giving that will run from November 9th to November 20th.
Due to limited interaction on campus, all items requested from faculty will be posted on Sign Up Genius. This will be a great way for every parent and faculty member to be included in this wonderful opportunity.
On Monday, November 9th, parents will receive an email with a SignUp Genius link that will have a list of faculty/staff and their individual requests. You are invited to select an item for the staff member(s) that you would like to appreciate.
New this year, students will be asked to bring the items directly to the faculty member. If the item requested is too large for a student to carry, your student is virtual, or for any other reason, the parent will need to drop the item off in the administration office (labeled with the faculty member’s name) and coordinate with the faculty/staff member when it is available.
If your teacher’s requests have been fulfilled, please consider helping the faculty who teach the “special’s classes” or the classroom helpers.
Parent Group hopes you will enjoy this opportunity to thank the All Saints Faculty and Staff for the valuable services they provide. Your contributions are very much appreciated! Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Somer Jaynes at somerjaynes126@gmail.com.

High School Coaches Corner
Cross Country
Congratulations to the All Saints high school boys cross country team and Coach Dino Jones on their Runner-Up finish at the TAPPS State Championship this past Monday in Waco. The boys team was runner-up for the second consecutive year. That is quite an accomplishment at the state level. All Saints was paced by sophomore Lee Taylor who was second overall and senior Ash Bumstead who was 10th overall. Both Taylor and Bumstead were named to the TAPPS All-State team, and Bumstead was also honored as a member of the TAPPS Academic All State Cross Country team. Other members of the team include Vincent Paone, Joseph Paone, Sebastain Whitaker, Diego Cervera and Owen Aycock.
Four girls, Campbell Howe, Ella Aycock, Chole Conover, and Abigail Barritt also competed in the state race. The girls were paced by Ella Aycock who was 23rd overall. Congratulations to these girls on a good season, and their commitment to running.
Volleyball
Congratulations to the high school volleyball team on their seventh consecutive TAPPS 1-2A district championship. The Patriots swept Southcrest on the road on Thursday, October 29th to claim the title. All Saints will host the winner of Longview Christian and Ft. Worth Covenant on Monday or Tuesday next week in the area round of the playoffs. Good luck to Coach Savage and his girls.
Football
The All Saints football team won an exciting district ballgame, Friday afternoon October 30th against San Jacinto. The game was originally scheduled to be played in Amarillo, but ice and snow made the San Jacinto field unplayable. In a last-minute scramble, the game was moved to All Saints. The Patriots prevailed 42-36 in an exciting game. All Saints will take the field again this Friday at 4:00 pm vs. Kingdom Prep at the Patriot field.
