Culture Festival

This year we celebrated our 8th graders, athletic teams, thespians, and competition students in the first annual All Saints Awards Assembly. Held in the gym during the school day, parents and students were present to recognize the many accomplishments of our middle schoolers. In addition to the athletics, drama, and 8th grade

The Future Problem Solving Team participated in the FPS State Bowl in Waco, TX and all received medals. Niels de Meyer, seventh grader, competed as an Individual and was a semifinalist in the Middle Division. There were two sixth grade teams that competed in the Junior Division. Ian Beall Teague Hanning, Winston Jepson, and Mason Matheny won Most Futuristic Team with their out-of-the-box solutions. Finley Fisher, Hampton Kelleher, and Benjamin McCormick worked as a three person team and placed 7th. Sixth grader Waylan Snider competed as an individual in the Junior Division and won first place. He represented the State of Texas at the International Conference on the University of Massachusetts campus and competed against students from around the world on the subject of Antibiotic Resistance. Waylan placed second in this worldwide competition.

patriot’s pen essay

The Patriot’s Pen Essay Contest, a VFW sponsored youth essay competition, gives students an opportunity to write essays expressing their views on an annual patriotic theme. The theme for 2021-2022 was How Can I Be a Good American? Seventh grader, Piper Lewis was our campus winner and was awarded a gift card by the local VFW chapter. Her essay moved on to be part of the national level contest.

Volunteer Hours

At All Saints, students in 7th and 8th grade are required to earn a minimum of 10 service hours. Due to the pandemic, that requirement was waived for the last two years. This year we were pleased to once again make service to others in the community and here at school a priority. As an 8th grade class, they logged 724 service hours, which is more than double the minimum requirement. Five 8th graders, Joshua Allen, Averly Hubbard, Jordyn Snure Zarrya Thornhill and Hadlee Treme were recognized for going above and beyond the requirement of 10 service hours. Each of them logged in over 45 hours of service during their 8th grade year.

Carson Scholar

Samuel Williams was recognized as the first All Saints Carson Scholar, due to the generous donation to the Carson Scholar Fund by Mr. Gene Badgett, our former band director. Samuel was awarded a scholarship to be used toward his college education. The Carson Scholar fund was begun in 1994 by Dr. Ben Carson and his wife to support the educational success of students who were recognized as scholars. Dr. Carson is a retired Johns Hopkins Pediatric Neurosurgeon and former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
