Morning Mass Reflection:
Today was our October birthday blessing Mass....
"...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, generosity,
faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control."
Galatians 5:22-23
Lists are often made to make a point. Today Paul's letter has a list of what the Holy Spirit can do for us. In it is faithfulness. Our BE Attitude for this month is BE faithful. We are called to BE faithful to God and to our faith. Fr. Tony gave us three suggestions on how to do this. Be loyal to God (don't give up), be prayerful (stay connected) and be friend the Holy Spirit (rely on the spirit to fill you). It is then, as we Be faithful that we will be making our own list of all the blessings that come.

From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
The next few weeks are going to be pretty busy around our School. Our theme for the month of October is BE Faithful. To immerse ourselves in this theme the 7th graders have been introducing the students to a saint each morning, along with a few words on how we can become more like the saints. They are doing an amazing job!
Congratulations to
Ryan Kopulos and
Cecily Henschel, two St. Anthony graduates who were recently inducted into the National Honor Society at CMH. We are proud of our graduates!
Mrs. Knippel

The 8th graders from
Ms. Duellmann-Arndt's class read their favorite children's book to their 4k buddies. Studies have shown that students in schools with a strong sense of community are more likely to be academically motivated, to act ethically and altruistically, and to avoid a number of problem behaviors. Keep up the good buddy work!
Mrs. Leslie's 4k friends learned about Johnny Appleseed during their Apple Unit. Perhaps you saw them "travel light" with pots for hats?
The third graders in
Mrs. Seller's class participated in a "reverse engineering" project by taking apart old electronic devices. Students came to an appreciation that things are made up of more than what is seen on the outside...and they have more perseverance and determination than they give themselves credit for.
