From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal

Dear Parents,

Happy Catholic Schools Week! As you can well imagine the students were very excited to “Show their SAL Spirit” this morning! Be sure to ask what surprise they had when they walked into their classroom this morning! All week we will be conducting our SOUPer Bowl! We will collect cans of soup to be donated to the Pewaukee Food Pantry. The Student Council has set a goal of 350 cans of soup. Students may place them under the goal posts and vote for their favorite team to win the Super Bowl. We all know that St. Anthony on the Lake students will be the real winners of the SOUPER bowl! As always your generosity is greatly appreciated!

Attached below, you will find a letter from the Waukesha County Health Department regarding Covid information. Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, just as an FYI, regardless of what decision comes from our legislature regarding masks, we will continue to follow the protocols we have put in place for the 2020-2021 school year. We are very pleased with the protocols and we feel it is in our best interest to continue to follow them.

Saints and Souls! Please join us in any way you are able! There are some great auction opportunities!

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for entrusting your children to us at St. Anthony on the Lake School. This has been a year like none other and I appreciate the confidence you have put in us! As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, we continue to proudly proclaim that we are St. Anthony Families!

Blessings,

Mrs. Ellen Knippel
