From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal

Dear Parents,
This is a special time of the year here at school.  This Wednesday, we will have our annual May Crowning celebration following the  7:45 Mass. We hope for nice weather so we are able to crown our brand new Mary statue for the first time! 

On Thursday, we will have our Spring Concert for all students in 3K - 8th grade. The students have been preparing a variety of songs for your enjoyment. The concert will begin, in church, at  6:30 and will last about an hour. See below for more details.

Friday, May 25th, is Field Day here at St. Anthony. The entire school will participate in some fun activities in the afternoon. Pray for nice weather! Students will most likely get a little wet during some of the activities, so plan accordingly! We are in need of parent volunteers for the afternoon. If you are available to give us a couple of hours, please use the sign up genius or contact Jen Kadlec

Next week at the  Wednesday liturgy (May 30) is the Passing of the Light ceremony in which we pass the roll of leadership to our 7th graders for the next school year. 

8th grade  Graduation will take place on  Thursday, May 31, at 6:30 pm.
 
Finally, we announce today that Ms. Wagner, our 3K teacher, will be moving to Arizona this summer, therefore leaving our school. We wish Ms. Wagner the best of luck on her journey! Interviews will begin shortly for our open positions.

Blessings!
Ellen Knippel
