G9 Morning Mass Reflection:
Our Gold in September Mass was tearful and inspiring. Thank you to Jamie Hansen for so beautifully giving us insight into Eli's journey, their reliance on God and prayer in this difficult time, and gratitude for the many things people do as service to others that make a huge difference and let people know they care. Fr. Tony blessed the Hansen family and the parents of Anna Snopek, who is also battling cancer right now.
This was a living testimony of the Gospel, where we are called to follow Jesus in good times and in bad.

From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Thank you for all you have done to make our G9 events a success! We collected $354.60 in out-of-uniform money for the Hansen family and our Penny War for the G9 foundation netted $750.73. The 4th Grade class came out on top and is the winner of the Penny War! The students tied 23 blankets to be donated to Children's Hospital and they each made beautiful, heartfelt cards for Eli Hansen. This is a wonderful testimony to the huge and generous hearts we have at St. Anthony on the Lake.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Hot Summer Slice this Friday!
Blessings to All!
Mrs. Knippel

Mrs. Danks brought naval action to the 7th grade classroom! Students played a game of Battleship to work with coordinate graphing. It helps to call out your points in the correct order or (x,y)!!
Pictured above: (on left) student helping another learn the game and (on right) the students
are in deep concentration - It's all about strategy!
Ms. Duellman-Arndt put her 8th graders to work creating 3D models of animal cells.
This helped the students learn the parts and their functions in the cell.

Gratitude 
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to our St Anthony family for an incredible morning of prayer, support & love. Eli was thrilled to receive a prayer blanket and the basket of goodies. These activities will come in handy during this hospital stay. And thank you for remembering the siblings with items in the basket and blankets as well. They are so happy. The gift cards are really helpful for our family and so very appreciated. We are so blessed!
In gratitude,
Jamie & Chris Hansen
