Inaugural Family Trivia Night Enjoys Success

After two years in the making, All Saints' First Family Trivia Night finally made its debut on Saturday night!

More than 40 teams, with names like "The Quarantine Quizzers," "One Roll Short of a 12 Pack," "Connecting...", and "Madden Family Lockdown," created team names with a wink to our Shelter in Place order.

Our host for the evening, Jeff Perry, dressed in a suit while seated in front of a Jeopardy backdrop. He expertly led the teams through seven rounds of trivia - a total of 70 questions!

Through the Zoom format, with questions flashing on computer screens every 45 seconds and committee members Kristy Sanko and Michelle Zyskowski frantically crunching scores in real time.....one team emerged victorious! At the conclusion of the night, the DiFranco Family, with their award winning name of "2 Wardens, 5 Inmates" pulled ahead of the pack with an impressive score of 59 total points!

Two teams--the Reising Family ("Old Man Dal & the Quarantine Quartet") and the Santillan Family--tied for 2nd place with 55 points. The Venier Family--"King, Queen and Jack of Harps"--rounded out 4th place with 54 points, and the Schwartz Family ("SchWARtZone") landed in 5th place.

The Trivia Night Committee wants to thank all of the families who enthusiastically and patiently participated in this fun, family-oriented event! They were thrilled to bring a fun night "in" to our All Saints families during these unprecedented times.

The Trivia Night Committee is already collecting new questions with the hope of bringing another Trivia Night to our All Saints Community next academic year. Stay tuned, stay safe.

Another Busy Week of Distance Learning

Mrs. Roose’s junior high religion classes played a virtual rendition of the old classic game show “Password” for Wacky Wednesday. Teams were split between 7th and 8th grades, and the students had to get their teammates to guess the correct password by giving a clue, and hope that they didn’t say the danger word! Mrs. Roose said the game was a lot of fun, and that it ended in a tie. Some of the password/danger word examples were: lettuce/salad, God/Jesus, llama/alpaca! BINGO!

All Saints Student Council is excited to announce theme Dress Down Days for each Thursday for the remainder of the school year:

• April 30: Disney Day

• May 7: Decades Day

• May 14: Pajama Day

• May 21: Favorite Book Character Day

• May 28: Superhero/Career Day

Watch Facebook and the All Saints Newsletter Email for a special Student Council video message! Student Council is also planning other fun activities. Stay tuned for details!

Send us photos of your students dressed in their Disney gear, and we may feature them on Facebook.

Student Council Hosts Dress Down Days

Fr. Mark hosted a special adoration session for Mrs. Roose’s junior high students on Friday afternoon. As part of Father’s reflection, he asked the students to consider the change for which they are hungry, and he read the story of the Prodigal Son. Fr. Mark also highlighted St. John Vianney’s quote: “I look at HIm, and He looks at me,” in reference to how the saint prayed. Father encouraged the students to picture a moment of encounter with God--His compassion, His love, ways to tell Him what’s been heavy on their hearts, and to ask Him for renewed change. Father reminded everyone that we truly get to experience the Church at home--the Domestic Church--during this time.

Please join the All Saints community in weekly Mass online every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. Tomorrow’s Mass will be provided via the All Saints and St. John Neumann Facebook pages.

Stay tuned each week for details, as our parishes rotate hosting our Tuesday Masses. We are using the online platforms with which our priest celebrants are most familiar, so the platform may vary from week to week.

Weekly Mass Available Online

Families in Prayer Returns on FridayJoin us online on Friday, May 1, at 8:15 a.m. for our weekly Families in Prayer session. Look for the Zoom link in Mrs. Pisarski’s morning email later this week. Start the month of May by praying the Rosary together!

Tuition Payment Plan Options

Annual Payment (one payment due by June 1, 2020 if paying by check, June 30, 2020 via FACTS) Monthly Payments (2, 4, 10 or 12 payments)

All Saints Catholic School will be using the FACTS Tuition Management program for electronic administration of our tuition collections for the 2020-21 school year. Families choosing multi-month payments must use this payment program. There is a one-time charge of up to $50 per year per family to cover the cost of administering the program for the year. Single payment contract options occur in June and have no administrative fee. All balances spread over two months or greater will begin payment withdrawals in July. You may choose to have your payment taken out of your checking or savings account, or charged to a credit card for an additional fee, on either the 5th or the 20th of each month. All charges are posted to the FACTS system, so a paper invoice will be issued only upon request.

Service Hours

All Saints Catholic School requires all of our families to participate in 10 hours of volunteer service (5 for single parent households) each school year. Uncompleted service hours as of May 31, 2021 will be billed to families at $20 per hour, payable before June 30, 2021. Please log hours at www.allsaintscs.com/service.

Grade 1-8 Family Assessment Fee (per family)

Families are required to pay an annual family assessment fee of $500 per family. This fee is an Archdiocese of Detroit requirement as each family’s contribution to pay down the building debt. This assessment is payable to All Saints Catholic School and subsequently submitted to the Archdiocese of Detroit. The annual family assessment fee will be invoiced in early fall and will be due by November 30th.

Families that still have a balance due under the prior system are expected to make a good faith payment toward that balance each year.

Tuition Policy

All previously invoiced tuition and fees must be paid in full by June 30, 2020 in order to be assured of re-enrollment.

Tuition payments begin in July for the 2020-2021 school year. Tuition paid is non-refundable. If a withdrawal is necessary due to a transfer out of the area or some other extraordinary event, pending approval by the principal, tuition will be prorated on a monthly basis. This proration will be based on the twelve month Archdiocese of Detroit school year beginning July 1st and ending June 30th.

Past Due Tuition Policy

1. The parent/guardian of the student who signs this Tuition Agreement is financially responsible for all tuition payments. In the case of divorced or

separated families, division of costs between parents, spouses, and others are between the parent/guardian and those other parties, not between All

Saints Catholic School and other parties.

2. All Saints Catholic School has the right to make all efforts to collect past due tuition and/or fees. A seriously delinquent account may be turned over tothe school’s attorney for collection.

3. It is imperative to meet with the school accountant in the event tuition becomes near 30 days past due. The financially responsible parent/guardian mustthen submit a remedial payment plan in writing to the accountant.

For any questions regarding tuition or assessment payments, please contact Jennifer Walker at jwalker@allsaintscs.com or 734-459-2490.

Enrollment in classes is contingent upon receipt of this completed tuition agreement form, payment of the non-refundable student fee, and satisfaction of all prior financial obligations to the school. Please sign this agreement and return to the school office. Thank you!
