Dear St. Anthony of Padua Families,
As Catholics, today we celebrate All Souls Day honoring the dead. We believe that those who have died are cleansed of their sins and able to enter heaven through the prayers of the faithful on Earth. Traditionally, the entire month of November is the Month of Holy Souls as our prayers continue after today. This year, we would like to especially remember those deceased who are held in a special way in the hearts of the St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School community. Please go to this link:
https://staopcs.org/all-souls
and share the names of your beloved deceased. Each morning this month, the students, faculty and staff will pray for these souls, and all the Holy Souls of Purgatory.
Only by His Grace,
Veronica Tucker

BOOK FAIR - November 10-16
|
Welcome Lads and Lasses! We're having an Enchanted Forest Book Fair, where we can wonder into a whimsical forest of books waiting to be opened and read. Can we sprinkle some magic fairy dust inviting you to help for a short time? If you can contribute a little of your time, it would be very much appreciated! Classes visit the book fair throughout the week.
We are seeking volunteers to assist with this week! During your shift, you will help children make their Wish Lists and purchases.
We are also seeking volunteers to help with set-up and take-down!
All volunteers must be VIRTUS-certified.
Thank you for your help!

DROP-OFF REMINDERS
An important part of building responsibility in children is allowing them to experience logical and natural consequences. Per our Family Handbook and in partnership with us in teaching these important life skills, we ask that you
do not
bring forgotten items to school. A lunch will be provided for students who forget to bring their lunch to school. Classrooms will not be interrupted to deliver messages or items to students unless it is a medical or family emergency. The office staff is not responsible for calling classrooms, emailing teachers, or delivering forgotten lunches, homework, snacks, etc. Students may check the drop off table to see if something has been left for them. As parents, we recognize this can be a difficult thing to ask as it is tempting to come to the rescue. We also know that it can be hard to teach the natural consequence. Like you, we love your children and want them to grow in all areas including the areas of independence and responsibility. Thank you for partnering with us in allowing this growth to occur.

COUNSELOR'S CORNER
By Janay O'Connor
|
|
November greetings to all! After an action packed September and October, we transition quietly into November, as we prepare to give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. The character trait for November is
Caring
(Compassion & Generosity). Caring means to be kind and compassionate. It also means expressing gratitude, forgiving others and helping people in need. The social skills for November are
“How to greet others and introduce yourself”, “How to follow directions.”
November Highlights
- Many of the Catholic High Schools are hosting an Open House in November and December. All 7th and 8th graders who are interested in applying to a Catholic High School should consider attending. Please visit the high school’s websites for dates and times of their open house.
- Eighth graders who are interested in applying to the Catholic high schools should start working on their applications. Teachers will begin filling out recommendation forms in late November. Please contact Mrs. O'Connor if you have any questions.
