The Kindness Club is leading a Christmas outreach project and we could use your help. We wanted to do something to help others for Christmas. We contacted St. Elizabeth Charities and got a list of needs for mothers and children. We have various needs that we could fulfill, mostly clothes. The Kindness Club is asking for donations in the form of Walmart gift cards or cash in any amount. We will shop for the mothers and children so we don’t get duplicates. Any amount will be greatly appreciated! We would love to have the donations by Monday, December 2. You can send gift cards to the office in an envelope marked “Attention Kindness Club.” Then at our December meeting (December 3), the kids will sort, package and wrap the gifts for the St. Elizabeth’s families. Thank you in advance for your help and generosity!

Parents of kids in grades K through 4 interested in dance; we are still needing volunteers to coach. This could go towards your service hours for the year! If you are interested, please contact Jessica Goodman at Goodmanj1263@gmail.com.

It is that time of year again, the time for inclement weather. Remember that St. Anthony School is on its own in making the decision to close. We know that many of our students come from different locations and outlying areas, and we may still be in school when roads in your area may not be safe. While safety is our utmost concern, it is your ultimate decision if your child comes to school on a day when there is inclement weather. Please remember that our school closing will only be posted on WDRB Fox TV, St. Anthony Website, SAS Parent Facebook Page, or you can call the school. Also remember you can sign up for WDRB Snow Fox Alerts.
