40 Days Of Service Kick-Off
Last week, we helped Archbishop Gustavo with his "40 days of service" campaign. This service campaign, lead by Catholic Charities, provides opportunities for our community to be of service to others during this season of Lent. Antonian was very well-represented by students of different grade levels who generously offered a hand in different needs of the Guadalupe Community Center.
As part of this service campaign, Antonian is participating in the "40 cans for Lent" food drive. We ask you to help us help the hungry in our society through your generous donations of canned food during this Lenten season!
|
A Time To Give
40 Cans for Lent begins today! As we begin this Lenten season, we invite the Antonian community to join us in this very concrete way to practice almsgiving. We have partnered with Catholic Charities to help our brothers and sisters in the San Antonio community who go without food on a daily basis.
Students are asked to bring their donations of canned goods to their Theology classroom. The grade level with the most food collected will earn an extra spirit dress day!
"For I was hungry and you gave me food..." Matthew 25: 35

CONGRATULATIONS FORREST MCLAIN
We are proud to announce that our very own Apache, sophomore Forrest McLain, developed and published a history quiz app to the Amazon Alexa Store.
It took about two days for Forrest to design, compose questions and answers, and program the app. He used Java to code the questions and acceptable responses and submitted the app to Amazon for approval and publishing.
He designed it as a study aid for his 10th grade World History. The free Amazon Echo app is available by saying "Alexa, open Antonian History Quiz."
We are so very proud of Forrest's accomplishment. His Alexa skill app was accepted the same week Amazon hit 10,000 apps in the Alexa Skills Store.
Congratulations, Forrest! We look forward to many more accomplishments!
