CHAPEL NOTES~Happy New Year!The season of Advent is upon us. It is the first season in the Church year, which is why it is time for Happy New Year greetings. Advent is a period of expectant waiting and preparation, and is a season that last four weeks, leading up to Christmas. For many, the weeks leading up to Christmas include a great deal of preparation: shopping, cooking, wrapping, and often, more shopping. It is easy to get caught up in the commercialized “get-get-get” mentality. For children, it is easy to focus on simply what they want to “get.” During this hustle and bustle, Advent has great purpose in giving us time to pause and reflect on the what should be a paramount focus, the joyful expectation of Christ’s coming!

At All Saints, we strive to focus at this time of year on the opportunities to share and to give of oneself to others. The prayers our students share in chapel are rarely about themselves. Their sense of compassion and concern for the community is immense. As we wrap up the U-Can-Share Food Drive next week, our students have heard much about the gift of giving. We move into Advent ready and excited to share through our grade-level service projects.

There are many ways to celebrate the Advent season at home. Consider incorporating an Advent wreath of candles at your dinner table. A new candle is lit each Sunday during the four weeks, and then the same candles are lit each meal during the week. An Advent calendar is a great way to track the days of the season. A unique and specialized Advent calendar that can be used in the home is a Jesse Tree, which begins with the prophecy from the book of Isaiah that “a shoot will spring forth from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots.”

This year at school we have a “traveling” nativity set. The nativity figures are separated, and they “journey” to Bethlehem during the season. For example, Mary and Joseph start at one end of the school and make their way a little closer each day to the stables (Jones Gym). The shepherd, his flock, as well as the wise men, “journey” at their own speeds at the appropriate times.

If you have any questions or would like more information on Advent traditions and bringing them into your home, please just ask. And you are invited to share in the Advent season with us during chapel at All Saints. There is always room for parents and friends!

Peace -Chaplain Paige +

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING with Dr. Penny CarpenterIt’s Science Fair time! Students in fourth to twelfth grade are eligible to present projects. Middle School fifth and sixth grade students are al-ready in full swing preparing projects. They are using the computer lab, laptops, and iPads to prepare. A variety of science probes are available for data collection if they meet the needs of the experiment. Mrs. Lutrick or Dr. Carpenter can help with the use of the school’s probeware: temperature probes, heart rate monitors, light sensors, motion detectors, and pH sensors. December is the month to conduct experiments and the local fair is scheduled for January. Qualifiers may advance to the South Plains Regional Science and Engineering Fair in February.

HOUR OF CODEThe Hour of Code is coming! On Thursday, December 10 the fifth grade will host an Hour of Code event beginning at 6:00pm in Kirby Commons. Bring your smartphone, iPad, or laptop and join the hands-on coding activities.

BOX TOP FINAL RESULTSThe SUPER SUCCESSFUL Fall Box Top competition ended with more than 8,000 Box tops collected (which means more than $800 dollars raised for our school)!

Once again the Patriot com-munity came through in amazing fashion to raise money for our school - a heartfelt thanks from your Box Top committee. Keep clipping! The Spring competition is right around the corner!

DID YOU KNOW? Our student enrollment is expected to reach 477 in January. That’s a bunch of Patriots!

THEATER NEWSThe All Saints High School One Act Play defeated seven schools to win the 1A-2A TAPPS State Championship. Four cast members earned All-Star honors.

Students earning All Star honors are: senior Keely Umstot, All Star Cast; senior Matt Harper, All Star Crew; freshman Susannah Bumstead, All Star Cast; and sophomore Raymond Rider, Honorable Mention All Star Cast.

Paula Chanda is the director. Other cast members are: freshmen Abi Jordan, Meghan Mitchell, Kenyan Mortensen, Bri Sanchez, and Brooke Stevenson; soph-omores Joshua Duemer, Zac Paston, Mallory Staggs, and John Gamble Streit; and senior Alyssa Smith.

The cast performed the 40-minute one-act play, The Cau-casian Chalk Circle, written by Bertikt Brecht. The play is a parable about a Russian peasant girl who rescues a baby and becomes a better mother than its wealthy natu-ral parents. It is loosely based on the Biblical story of the Judgment of Solomon.

The contest requires all plays be performed in one act lasting no more than 40 minutes. Sixty percent of the scoring is based upon acting while 40 percent is judged on other elements like sets, costumes, and lighting.

Congratulations to Mrs. Chanda and the entire cast and crew for a job well done!

SECOND AND THIRD GRADE THANK YOUThank you to all of the parents who helped decorate and serve our Thanksgiving Feast.

TEACHER THANKSGIVING CLASS WISHESThe Parent Group Teacher Wishes campaign is almost over! Don’t forget to grab a sticky note so we may fulfill faculty classroom wishes. Our teachers have written on sticky notes an item or two that, if re-ceived, would enhance their classroom teaching. The Giving Boards are separated by divisions and located throughout the school. Please take a moment to come in and help make our teachers feel a little extra spe-cial. Here are the locations of the Giving Boards:

PLC = East PLC doors (doors facing courtyard doors) Lower School = 3rd and 4th grade arcade on window by courtyard Middle School = Southeast door closest to bus parking High School = Across from Mrs. Belk’s office

Thanks for helping take care of those who take care of our children! Have a wonderful rest of your week!

THANKS TO OUR D.O.G.S.A special thank you to our D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) group. These kind men installed new tether ball poles and balls for the Lower School Playground to enjoy! Thanks so much!

CHOIR NEWSSenior Keely Umstot, and sophomores Anna Arnett and Kenyan Mortensen sang in the TMEA All-Region Choir last month in Abilene. They competed against over 100 other singers in their sections and were among the top singers selected to participate in the All-Region Choir.

The High School Choir had oppor-tunities to sing in the Lubbock com-munity on Veter-ans Day. One of our stops was the

Bender Terrace Nursing Home where we were honored to sing for several of our veterans.

The combined Middle School and High School Choirs were invited to pres-ent a musical program at the Silent Wings Museum on Veterans Day. What an amazing experience! The choirs represented All Saints beauti-fully and were immediately invited back next year.

REPORTERS AND PHOTOGS WANTEDThe School’s social media accounts are a great way to communicate with our community about the great things that happen at All Saints. If you are at an All Saints event and snap a photo or two, feel free to send them to Paige McKay (via text or email.) She is always looking for more con-tent for our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter ac-counts. In particular, she would love a few parent or student ‘reporters’ for middle school athletics and other activities.

MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALLAll Saints Boys and Girls MS Basketball teams are off to a fast start this season with all four teams competing hard and posting good wins. On the Thursday before the Thanksgiving break all four of the MS teams were vic-torious against cross-town rival Christ the King. The boys’ teams are off this week, but both the 7th & 8th grade girls teams will compete in the All Saints 7th & 8th Grade Girls Tournaments on Friday, December 4 & Saturday, December 5. All Saints will host 15 teams in two concurrent tournaments played in Jones and Patriot Gyms.

The following weekend All Saints will host the All Saints’ Boys 7th & 8th Grade Tournaments on December 11 & 12. More that 20 boys teams will compete in the boys tournaments and both weekends will offer some great middle school basketball action.

The Girls and Boys Basketball Tournaments are a fantastic opportunity for All Saints to open its doors to the pub-lic as each weekend brings in several hundred athletes and more than a thousand spectators. It is a great time to raise funds for the athletic department as well as showcase All Saints to teams from Midland, Amarillo, Plainview and Lubbock. Please make plans to cheer your Patriot teams to victory!

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALLThe ASHS Boys JV team is off to a great start this season with wins over Floydada and Sundown along with a couple of close losses to Midland Classical. This is the fi rst year of a boys JV program at All Saints, and the future looks bright with these developing players!

Varsity Boys Basketball is off to a 2-2 start with 79-55 & 58-54 losses to #8 ranked Midland Classical and a 79-55 win over Floydada and a 70-29 win over Christ the King. The ASHS Boys Varsity Basketball team will get a chance to compete against some of the best teams in West Texas this coming weekend in the Lamesa Tournament where they will play Lamesa, Amarillo Caprock, Lubbock High, Big Spring and Ft. Stockton in round robin play.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALLThe ASHS Girls Varsity team is off to a strong start. On Nov. 17, the girls posted their fi rst win in their fi rst ever game, taking care of Talkington 48-34. Over the fi rst weekend of the Thanksgiving break, the team competed in the Wilson Round Robin Tournament, bringing home third place. After a losing last night to a scrappy Christ the King team, the girls now hold a 4-3 record. This weekend, the girls head to Anton to compete in the Anton Tournament, with Seagraves, Floydada, Hart, Tahoka and Anton. Coach Kyle Simons is working hard with the girls to make this fi rst year of high school girls basketball at All Saints a strong and memorable start!

DID YOU KNOW? All Saints will celebrate its 60th “Diamond” Anniversary next year! Go, Patriots!

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL ADVANCES TO STATE FINALSIn only its second year of fi elding a team, your Patriot High School Varsity Volleyball team advanced to the TAPPS 1A State fi nals on November 14 in San Antonio. After sweeping teams in District 1-1A, the team earned a bye in Bi-District, swept Wichi-ta Christian in the Area Finals, and defeated North Central Texas Academy for the Regional Championship. The win over NCTA punched the team’s ticket to State! The State semifi nal match was against defending state champion Waxahachie Prep. Win-ning this match earned the girls a trip to the State Championship! The girls played a tough state fi nal, and lost to a strong Mission Juan Diego team. Juniors Brook Bowman and Riley Higgins, along with sophomores Tatum Harper and Abby Macha, were named to the TAPPS 1A State All Tournament team. Congratulations to these four, along with Coaches Kimberli Swett and Hayley Clark and the entire high school team for a job very well done! Can’t wait until next season!

ADVENT OFFERINGSService to God in our community

It is a long-standing tradition at All Saints Episcopal School to ask students and their families to give of themselves so that others might catch a glimpse of the true gift of the Advent Season. We will continue this tradition with grade-level service projects.

PRESCHOOL, PRE-KINDERGARTEN and KINDERGARTEN are gathering items to be given to the children at Buckner Children’s Home at its annual Christmas party. A list of suggested items has been sent home. Items will be collected through December 15.

PRE-FIRST is collecting art supplies for High Point Village. The last day to contribute is December 18.

FIRST GRADE is collecting items for children visiting the Covenant Outpatient Cancer Center. A complete list of suggested items has been set home. Collection deadline is December 16.

SECOND GRADE will collect various items for Ronald McDonald House. Donations will be col-lected through December 16.

THIRD GRADE has ‘adopted’ a family in need. They are collecting gift cards for clothing and other items. Information has been sent home with students with suggestions.

FOURTH GRADE is remembering the patrons of the South Plains Food Bank during the Advent Sea-son. Students are bringing a variety of items, and a list was sent home with suggestions. Items are due on December 16.

FIFTH GRADE - has adopted two families from My Father’s House Lubbock. More information is being provided to the fifth grade families.

SIXTH GRADE - Sixth grade will remember the Salvation Army during Advent. They will stuff stockings for younger recipients.

SEVENTH GRADE completed a coat drive last month for Women’s Protective Services and Faith Promise. 91 coats were donated!

EIGHTH GRADE is assisting The Haven Animal Shelter. The Haven is in great need for pet supplies, and a list was sent home. All donations need to be at school by December 14.

HIGH SCHOOL - On December 9, the entire high school will help sort toys and fill orders for the annual Toys for Tots campaign. In ad-dition, the students are filling bags of personal care items for Lubbock Impact. Parents received an email about this today.

STAFF and FACULTY - This year, the school’s staff and faculty participated in a group Advent Offering as well. Participants donated money to provide small gifts to the staff/faculty of Bowie Elementary. Bowie school has a great group of employees who work hard to sup-port and provide necessities to students in need all year. The ASES staff wanted to help provide a small gift to their Bowie peers.
