Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for making our Open House so amazing! Special thanks to all our parents and students who gave their time to make the day a huge success, especially to Mr. Grey for chairing the event. To our dedicated faculty and staff, I appreciate you for all you do! Mr. Pablo Flores, the Interior Maintenance PLC, and Trojan Cleaners, you made our school beautiful–thank you! St. Anthony’s is a warm and welcoming environment and Christ-centered community because of all of you. Happy National Catholic Schools’ Week!
Please see email from Room Parents and teachers for more information on dress up days and activities this week.
We are excited to have Special Person’s Day this Friday, January 31! We will have our 9:00am Mass that day and ALL students can invite somebody they consider “special” to them, an adult 18 or older. We will celebrate Mass together honoring that Special Person (it’s optional to sit together with your child and their class), and then you may have an early lunch with your child pn campus until 11:50 am in designated areas. Dismissal is at 12 NOON ON 1/31,and daycare is provided till 6pm. The “Special Person” will bring lunch for the student or order a pre-purchased lunch for $7 to help benefit the 8th grade. The 8th grade class fundraiser meals can be picked up in the Hall after 9am Mass. The Tastyblock truck will also be at school selling specialty drinks and desserts. Please support our school fundraisers! This will be a beautiful celebration and everyone is strongly encouraged to attend. Please let your teachers know in advance who your child’s special person will be.
