Dear Students, Parents/Guardians,
We begin National Red Ribbon Week from 10/23-10/31, and we encourage all our students to say no to anything that is not healthy for them.
There is also a wonderful incentive for you to refer NEW families to our school. If you love St. Anthony’s and want your friends to know about our school, we offer a $150 referral incentive per new family (not per student). We can credit that to your tuition/fundraising account or give it to you in the form of Scrip: $75 at Christmas, and $75 at the end of the school year in June. You must request this incentive if you have referred families who bring added value to our school –– it is not automatic. Thank you for help in growing our school to attract the best families around. We truly are the Best Private School in the South Bay, because of all of you and your children!
Thank you to Mrs. Nakayama and Lea Aguirre, from World’s Finest, for a successful fundraiser! We also thank all families for selling chocolates, and buying food and drinks at the Coastal Coffees and Tastyblock trucks, and buying lots of items at the Scholastic Book Fair! Last week, those who qualified for the BMX Bike Show had a blast!
For those of you want to purchase a Vicki Marsha Limited Edition grey FAST sweatshirt, we have extended the sale till Nov. 1. Thank you for supporting our school!
Mrs. Grey, Principal
