Elks Free Throw Contest Every year St. Anthony’s participates in the Elks National Hoop Shoot Free Throw Contest. This is a great opportunity for the students to exhibit their talents for shooting free throws and, maybe, compete on a National basis. The contest is split into different age levels. We had 5 students who were our school level winners; these students went to Wilson Elementary to compete. Jimena Carrillo Jamila Carrillo Beau Simmons Reece McKee Cooper Abell I would like to recognize Reece McKee, who advanced on to the next round of competition. Reece shot 20 out of 25 free throws. We wish Reece the best of luck in the next round! Shout Out I would like to give a shout out to Aubrey Burton for all of her extra help in the preschool. She has done a wonderful job with decorating, preparing gifts and helping the preschoolers shop at Secret Santa.

I would like to send a shout out to Roxanne Reiter and her many elves for planning and organizing the Secret Santa for our students. It is such a fun event for the children. They love being able to shop for their parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special. Also thanks to Mr. Dino for providing breakfast and lunch to our helpers.

This month our trait is: Integrity. Students are asked to practice being a gracious winner or loser. If you win, don’t brag about it and if you lose, congratulate the winner. Make sure that you don’t take more than you give. Always be on the lookout on how you can help others.

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!

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.

Our SAS Jamboree on Friday showcased our athletics. Thanks for coming out, supporting and cheering them on! Good Luck to our basketball players, cheer and dance teams! Go Bears!
