From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal

Dear Parents,

This week we celebrate Safe Environment Week here at St. Anthony on the Lake. Every April, catholic parishes and schools across the United States participate in National Child Abuse Prevention Month. During this month, special emphasis is placed on the importance of protecting the vulnerable. Many of our students are wearing blue today as wearing blue helps remind us and encourage others to prevent child abuse and support healthy children and adults. Throughout the week we will be identifying different forms of abuse (i.e. mobile device safety, saying “no” if you feel uncomfortable, bullying). We will pray daily for healing. Please see additional flyers in todays newsletter.

This week we also celebrate Administrative Assistant's Day. Please join me in thanking Ms. Rebekah for all she does for us! She has done an AMAZING job her first year with us! Thank you Rebekah! You are a Blessing!

Blessings,

Mrs. Ellen Knippel

We will celebrate our April birthdays at Mass on Wednesday of this week. Students with an April birthday may have a "dress-up" day (no jeans or sweats please!).

Fall Athletics and Athletic Committee

We are hoping that Fall will bring Athletics back to our schools (grades 5-8). We need to reconvene our athletic association since we haven't met in almost a year. We need to regroup, recharge, and recommit our committee. NOW is the time to join. We cannot have an athletic program here at SAL without parents to serve on this committee - even though Athletics formally begins in grade 5, parents of students in any grade are welcome to join. An organizational meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 27, at 6:30pm in the Science Room. Please enter through the kindergarten doors. This meeting is for members who wish to continue to serve on athletics along with new members.

Olympic Day, May 28

It's back! Friday, May 28th is our planned Olympic Day for our students. If you are interested in helping plan and or work on this day, please contact the office. This is an exciting and fun day for our students! Please let us know if you are able to help us out.
