From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Well, another Catholic School's Week is upon us! I hope your children enjoy celebrating this week as much as we enjoyed planning it. We have lots of
fun and educational activities planned for the week. Here at St. Anthony we have chosen to continue using our school theme of the BE Attitudes. I think it is nice to keep things continuously flowing through the school year.
An important event will take place on WEDNESDAY! We will be honoring all of our MANY volunteers here at St. Anthony. Our school could not run as well as it does if it weren't for our huge number of volunteers.
I ask that all parents/grandparents that volunteer here in ANY manner please join us for a special blessing at Mass at 7:45am on Wednesday and then come on down for coffee and treats. This is a Knippel Koffee day and all are welcome to stick around and chat a while. The students will also be joining us for a treat and they have a special surprise for our honored guests.
Thank you one and all for your generous outpouring of time and talent in support of our school!
Blessings to all,
Ellen Knippel
