From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
A few words of thanks are in order as we begin this week! First of all,
thanks to all who helped to make Teacher Appreciation Week special for all of us! It was a wonderful week all around with a culmination of beautiful notes from you and your children! Thanks to
Rachel O'Connor and her team for all of the planning and preparation.
Our Spring adult social was a success! Thanks to all who came out on Friday night for a little "Adult Fellowship". Thanks especially to
Becky Kohl and the Marketing Committee for planning this evening.
Congratulations to
Grace Packee and Kaitlyn Riley for presenting at the district Civic Oration/Modern Woodsman Competition. Both ladies did an amazing job! Special kudos go to Grace who placed 3rd in the district. She will represent our district in the state competition on May 18th. Good luck Grace! We are proud of you.
It is with sadness that we announce that our Middle School Math teacher, Mrs. Mary Stawicki, has decided not to return to St. Anthony next school year. We wish her the best of luck as she handles family situations.
The search is underway for a full time middle school math teacher for the 2017-18 school year. The opening is posted on the Archdiocesan website along with the parish website and Facebook page. If you know of a qualified candidate who may be interested in joining our staff, please direct them to me in the school office or any of these sites.
Reminder: Uniform shorts policy is in effect. Please remember that
shorts may not be worn on Mass days.
Finally, I will be traveling this week with the 8th graders and
Ms. Duellman-Arndt to Washington DC. Please keep all of us in your prayers for a safe journey.
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
