From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather - and getting your newsletter on Mondays! The week ahead will be a busy one! Today we held our student government officer speeches and elections. Congratulations to all of our candidates for running! The ballots are counted!
The St. Anthony Student Government Officers are:
President: Lauren Vollmer
Vice President: Abbey Tarwacki
Secretary: Emme Ohnmacht
Treasurer: Luke Danielski
Promotions Director: Abby Horning
Class representatives will be elected in the classrooms later in the week.
I also wanted to share with you the wonderful results of our Book Fair! We raised $1,641.08! We have, thus far, purchased seven different sets of classroom literature circle books. We are so grateful for your generosity! I had not budgeted for these extra sets of books for our teachers and students, so this was a wonderful and unanticipated addition to our classrooms!
Blessings!
Mrs. Knippel

What I Need - W.I.N. - Time!
Our Resource Specialists,
Mrs. Doll and
Mrs. Guthrie are thrilled to be continuing an initiative that is designed to meet the needs of every student. Cross grade level clusters of students (K5-2nd and 3rd-5th) meet each week in small skill groups to work on and achieve specific goals based on their current Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) results. This time is spent providing remediation or enrichment depending on the child's needs. Groups and goals change for each session based on current MAP data and progress monitoring.
