From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal

Dear Parents,

Thanks so much for your words of care and encouragement. Having COVID is no fun and games but I am doing better. Our numbers for the week are still holding steady at 1 positive student case. Many of the students in quarantine will be returning this week (if they haven't already).

Trunk or Treat: Information will be coming out soon for our Trunk or Treat evening. This event will take place on Friday, October 29th, outside from 5-6:30pm in the lower parking lot. We will forgo any inside activities this year. Make plans for your exciting car decorations!!

Soles for Education: once again, we are accepting donations for our virtual Soles for Education Walk. All monies collected will go directly to Tuition assistance here at St. Anthony on the Lake School. We have generous donors in our Archdiocese that match our donations up to $5,000. Each year we give around $10,000 of tuition assistance to our school families. Monies come from our Endowment fund and from our Soles donations. If you can donate this year, please go here.


Blessings,
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
