I would like to give a shout out to Mrs. Jennifer Kelly. The faculty nominated Mrs. Kelly for the Saint Theodore Guerin Excellence in Education Award given by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. As a candidate for this award, Mrs. Kelly represents the best in Catholic Education, serves as a model of faith in action, holds high expectations, and has proven results of excellence in teaching and learning. We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Kelly is one of the top 5 finalists for this award. Mrs. Kelly will now move on to the interview phase of the award process. Congratulations to Mrs. Kelly and we wish you the best of luck.

February will be the last time that the school and parish will participate in the Aluminum Can Drive. The can drive has been a part of St. Anthony’s for many years. Unfortunately, the income from the can drive has decreased over time. The handling of the cans has become very tedious and unpleasant. I will be working with our School Commission to come up with a new monthly program that will benefit our school community. The last aluminum can drive will be the weekend of February 2nd-4th.
