From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
We have a busy week ahead! Tomorrow, September 29, we will have an out of uniform day for Childhood Cancer. Since we are unable to do other activities this year we will only be taking up a collection for the Hansen family. Please be as generous as you are able. We all understand that these are difficult times for some. We are NOT keeping track of who is able to give and who is not!
On Friday, our 8th graders will have their Day of Reflection. Please pray for them as they participate in this day of prayer. This is their first step to Graduation!
Finally, there have been a few questions about virtual learning when a student is out for a day or an extended amount of time. As you know, we made the decision that we would not be going virtual unless a student was in quarantine for an extended amount of time. We are just getting the cameras into the classrooms (equipment has been extremely hard to come by). We are set up for virtual learning for extended periods. It is very difficult for teachers to teach virtually and in-person (providing quality instruction) - not to mention the distraction in the classroom. Therefore, if your child is out sick we prefer they take the day to get healthy and return to class. If we know they will be out for an extended time, we will provide a google meet to virtual education. We have successfully done this and will continue on this path.
Blessings!
Mrs. Ellen Knippel

Childhood Cancer $1 Dress Down Day, Sept. 29
Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 29, we will honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by participating in a $1.00 (ANY donation is welcome) out of uniform day. Students may be out of uniform (jeans or sweats are acceptable) for a donation to this cause.
St. Anthony Face Masks, Now-Oct. 1
Still interested in ordering a St. Anthony school mask? Please place your order by October 1st. Mask Order Form (also on website and in the bulletin)
Pet Blessing, Oct. 2
 We will celebrate the Feast of St. Francis with our annual Pet Blessing on October 2, at 2pm on the playground. All pets must be leashed and everyone participating must wear a mask. We may be done a few minutes before the bell so you may take children home after the blessing. Buses will run as usual for students without pets. Unfortunately, if the weather doesn't cooperate, we will have to cancel this year's Blessing. Pray for sunshine!
Mission Wear Day, Oct. 7th Students should wear their red "Called to be Strong in Spirit" mission shirts with uniform bottoms.
School Photo Proofs Due, Oct. 14th
Many of you received an email with proofs of this year's school pictures. A hard proof was sent home last week. If you did not receive a proof email from Scholastic Reflections and would like a digital option, please send them an email. Order pictures on line or through the school by Oct. 14th. If you don't plan to order, or intend to do a picture retake, send the proof back with a note. Picture retakes are scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 8th.
Parent/Student conferences, Oct. 13th or Oct. 22nd
The first conferences of the year will be held virtually. We will be sending home conference slips for you to choose a convenient time for your child's conference. Conferences will be held on Tuesday, October 13th and Thursday, October 22nd from 3 - 7pm. Your child's teacher will then send home directions for a Google meet or ZOOM call for you and your child. Students are expected to attend conferences in grades 2-8. This is a new way of conferencing, but we are confident this can be done successfully.
