We owe a big thank you to everyone who attended the Roots to Wings Gala on Saturday, April 20 at the Crow River Golf Club. It was a beautiful evening filled with good food and great company, all to raise funds for a cause that is close to our hearts – our school! We were blown away by the support shown before, during and after the event – a preliminary glance has us raising nearly $40,000!
Thank you to everyone who donated their time, talent and financial resources to help make this a successful event. We look forward to sharing the items we’re able to purchase for our classrooms thanks to the funds raised at the gala.

these trips have had on her life: “My name is Hannah Visser and I have attended the St. A’s mission trips for the past two years. The first one was to Nashville, Tennessee. This week opened my eyes and I realized that my faith is my life. I also learned that I love serving others and the importance of laying down your life for the good of someone else. Throughout this week I was also able to connect with other youth and leaders on the trip. By the end of the week we became a mission trip family. My second mission trip was to Alamosa, Colorado. I had some of the same experiences as my first mission trip plus more. I felt God’s presence like never before and that is a feeling that I will never forget because it changed my perspective on God. On this trip I started to realize what God was calling me to and what he has planned for me. This week was an opportunity for me to let God work through me and share my gifts with others. Spending a week focused on how I can grow and build my faith and surrounding myself with other people who shared that same passion, was exactly what God needed me to do. It changed my perspective and shaped my relationship with God. Thank you to everyone who has supported these past mission trips, they have been such a life changing experience for many. If you want to support this year’s trip, all donations and support are appreciated.”
