Paragon will be here on Thursday, September 15th at 2:00 PM to deliver items that were ordered. If you have any frozen items that were ordered, you will need to come to the front lobby to pick them up. All other items will be sent home with students on this day. The money for Paragon orders is due by Wednesday, September 21st.

I would like to thank the many “grandparents” who attended Grandparent Day on Monday. I was truly overwhelmed with the response. I hope you enjoyed the day and were able to see what a wonderful school that we have. Some grandparents were lucky and were able to see the Smart Boards which we purchased with our Annual Fund monies. With this year’s Annual Fund we were able to paint the second and third floor classrooms and hallways and we were able to put new carpet on the second and third floor. Thanks again for visiting our school.

We know that grandparents are an important and special part of our students’ lives. To celebrate Grandparent’s Day, we’d like to invite all grandparents to a special Grandparent Open House on Monday, September 12th. Grandparents may drop in any time between 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM to see what their grandchildren are learning at school. Many grades and special area teachers may even ask for some grandparent participation! We look forward to meeting them! Forms will be available for grandparents who are not currently on the list and who would like to get on our email list to receive the “Bear Facts” weekly newsletter.

The Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences will be held on Monday, September 26th and Tuesday, September 27th for the 7th and 8th graders. Conferences for the 4 year old Pre Schoolers through the 6th grade will be held on Wednesday, September 28th and Thursday, September 29th. These conferences are mandatory because we have some exciting new things happening at St. Anthony!
