Dear Parents and Guardians,
Yesterday was Daylight Savings, so hopefully you have all adjusted your clocks to SPRING FORWARD! Last Thursday, we had our Talent Show, led by Mr. Perry and the Student Government, I was stunned at the courage and gifts of our student performers, and even more impressed at the way our audience sat respectfully and cheered on every act. Your children are reflections of you and you should be proud.
This Friday, 3/13, is our 2nd Trimester Mass and Awards Ceremony in the church after 8am Mass. All families are welcome to attend! Report cards will go home that day. At St. Anthony’s we love your kids as if they are our own. As we continue to work together to educate the “whole child,” we thank you for being active partners in education with us. Every day I see firsthand the way our dedicated faculty and staff work long hours, to ensure the best education possible here at St. Anthony’s. Catholic education is truly a vocation and a ministry, and I am aware of all the other choices in career opportunities available to our well-educated and experienced staff. Please be sure to thank our faculty and staff and show your appreciation to them for the selfless work they do for our children every day. I certainly appreciate each of them for their dedication and professionalism.
Mrs. Grey, Principal
