Did you know?
Reuben Garrett Lucius "Rube" Goldberg was an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor. His popular cartoons illustrated complicated gadgets performing simple tasks (the "self-operating napkin" to name one) giving rise to the term "Rube Goldberg machines". Goldberg won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 for a political cartoon called "Peace Today" which warned against using atomic bombs.

"The greatest and highest act of prayer." Those are the words Pope Benedict XVI used to describe the Mass. He also said that all expressions of prayer have their center in the Eucharist. This past weekend our parish held two teaching Masses. What did you learn at the teaching Mass? Let us know what you found interesting so we can share it with others. Many have said that the more they understand the Mass, the more meaningful it is.

We received a beautiful painting of the Blessed Mother from Padre Joe. It now hangs in the Eucharistic Chapel. Check it out!

From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
The next few weeks will certainly be busy ones! In today's newsletter you will find registration papers for the 2017-18 school year. We have been working diligently with the finance council to set next year's tuition with only a 2.5% increase over this year. I appreciate all of the time and energy that has gone into this process. I will be working on the final budget along with the school committee to set their budget in the coming weeks.
Catholic School's Week begins on Sunday, January 28th. Each day we will celebrate in a different way, who we are, as a Catholic School. The theme for this year (as you all know) is the "BE Attitudes". We have decided to carry that theme into Catholic School's week. You will be receiving the lineup for the week (along with the specific dress for each day) soon. I am still in need of students to read the introduction, Sunday readings and petitions for all of the Masses next weekend (January 28/29). PLEASE contact me ASAP if your child is available to help at any of the Masses. The 3rd and 4th graders are the greeters for this weekend. If you are going to be at Mass, you are welcome to do "double duty".
I'd like to take this opportunity to personally invite all families to Mostaccioli Madness, this Saturday, January 28th from 4-8pm. This is a fundraiser for the 8th grade trip to Washington, DC, which takes place in May. We encourage all of our families to help them out by participating in this event. Sooner than you think, YOUR child will be heading to Washington on their trip!
Finally, the teachers made sure that their classrooms were extra clean this weekend. We have had lots of students with strep and flu-like symptoms. Please remember the 24 hour fever and throwing up rule. Don't hesitate to call Bonita for details!!
Blessings to all,
Ellen Knippel

St. Anthony Open House: This year's Open House and Registration will be taking on a bit of a different "look". Our Open House for new families will take place next Thursday, Feb. 2, from 4-7pm. Current families are not required to attend, but we will be sending out a Signup Genius requesting help from students in grades 1-8 to "showcase" our school. Parents are asked to be in the classroom with their child (and child's teacher) to answer questions about our great school. Please watch for this Signup Genius and consider giving a short block of time to help make this event a success!
2017-18 Registration Papers
Open house and registration will be February 2nd, 4-7pm. Registration for current families is now open from today until February 1. Please print the registration paper and return with your deposit. Please include a New Student Questionnaire, if applicable.

School Supply Drive and SOUPER Bowl
This week we will be collecting school supplies for the Archdiocesan Sister Parish of Sagrada Familia in the Dominican Republic. Our Middle School will be attending Mass during Catholic Schools week at Catholic Memorial High School and these supplies will be presented to the Archbishop who is the main celebrant. We just received this request for
any type of school supplies. We certainly understand that this is rather late notice, so any help you can give is appreciated.
St. Anthony will host its second annual
SOUPER Bowl Drive next week, during Catholic Schools Week. Your child may bring in cans of soup to place under the goal posts of their favorite super bowl team.
I know it's not the Packers in the big game this year, but let's help out the Waukesha County Food Pantry with as many cans of soup as we can donate!
School Scrip Program Coordinator(s) Needed for Next School Year
We need volunteers to help fill the role of Scrip Coordinators for next school year. The current co-chairs will be transitioning out of their roles. If interested in learning more, please
email the Scrip Coordinators, Allison Tippery or Melissa Riley.
