From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Happy May!! It looks like the April showers have definitely turned into May showers! We have just one short month of school left - but what a busy month it will be!
This week is Annual Teacher Appreciation Week. I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our teachers here at St. Anthony. We are so fortunate and blessed to have a faculty of caring, dedicated individuals! The hours they spend preparing and planning for your children go far beyond a 7-3pm job!
Thanks to all of you for helping to keep kids at school last week for IOWA Testing. We are just about finished with this testing. MAP testing for 5K - 8 will begin on May 15th. Please encourage your child to do their best on these assessments. We use this data to its fullest extent at all grades levels.
High Interest Day will take place next Monday, May 8th. We are still in need of people to help with the sessions. Please see the sign up genius for events still in need of help!
Blessings!
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
