***September 29th – October 28th*** It’s time to get fired up for box tops. It’s class competition time again!! The winning class will receive an out of uniform day as well as an ice cream party!! Please send box tops for education tops in a baggie or an envelope C/O of Abby Hoyland 3M in to the office with all children’s name and home rooms marked on the envelope or baggie (For example A Hoyland-3M, B Hoyland 1P, C. Hoyland KB). This way all 3 of those classes will get the points from your family. New this year is a bonus app to earn double the points. Download the app to any smart phone and get set up today. Last year we raised over $1000 for the school during our fall submission. Can we beat it this year? Let’s give it a try!
Fall break begins at the end of the day on Friday, September 30th. We will return to school on Monday, October 17th. Please enjoy the beautiful weather and the time with your family and friends.
September 17th will be the last home game for our eighth grade volleyball players. They will be recognized prior to their 4:00 PM game. Please mark your calendars to attend this event as we honor our athletes for their hard work and dedication to St. Anthony Athletics.
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!
