KEEPING ALL OF OUR STUDENTS SAFE
Read the labels at each purchase! Manufacturing processes change!
 Avoid items with allergy and ingredient alerts such as: "May Contain Peanut or Tree Nuts" "Processed on shared equipment with Peanuts or Tree Nuts" "Manufactured in a plant with Peanut or Tree Nuts" "Contains Peanut or Tree Nut Ingredients" Your diligence is keeping an allergic child safe at school.

From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
As we begin our 13th week of school, I am happy to report that we have had no additional cases of Covid in our school. We are still at 3 student cases which is phenomenal! When I converse with other principals, I hear of MANY schools going virtual because of the many cases in their school. As we approach the holiday season, it is important to reflect on how each of us will continue to protect all members of our school, parish and local community.
The data we receive from our local health department verifies that, to date, there have not been any positive cases of Covid-19 transmitted from student-to-student in our school. This is excellent news and a testament to the safety measures taken to continue our commitment to in-person instruction.
The data also tells us that cases that have caused quarantines in school have generally been traced to family members and activities that increase risk of transmission. We ask that you prayerfully consider how you will celebrate the holidays and activities your children will participate in when they are not in school. We all need to keep our teachers, staff and fellow students healthy for our school to remain open for face-to-face instruction five days per week.
Our administration and staff will review our numbers daily after Thanksgiving. If our positive cases and exposure-related quarantines increase dramatically, we may be forced to begin virtual instruction for the safety and well-being of our students and staff. This will be an all virtual or all face to face decision.
We appreciate all you have done and will continue to do to support our work. The gratitude we have experienced and the joy of everyone in school each day is the greatest gift of all.
Blessings!
Mrs. Ellen Knippel

Thank you for signing up for your two required volunteer slots per trimester. If you still need to sign up for Trimester 1 which ends Nov. 20, or are available to fill open slots, please sign up. The Trimester 2 sign up is also available.
Birthday Blessing , Nov. 18
This week Wednesday, we will celebrate  our NOVEMBER and JULY birthdays at Mass. Students with birthdays in these months may have a "dress-up" day (no jeans or sweats please!) All students will be named (those in church will come forth) and will receive a special gift from the office. As always, parents are invited to join us at Mass in person or virtually (Ellen sent the link last week).
Spirit Wear and End of 1st Trimester, Nov. 20
 Can you believe we will have completed 1/3 of the school year on Friday?!! We will have a SPIRITWEAR DAY to celebrate!! Students may wear St. Anthony tops with out of uniform bottoms. Report cards will be coming home the week after Thanksgiving!
Christmas Concert Taping Attire, Nov. 23
Students in grades 3K, 4K and 5K are asked to dress in their Christmas best on Monday, November 23. Please refrain from wearing ribbons, bows and headbands. Special headbands will be given to them to wear.
Students in grades 1-8 should wear their white on top and black on bottom. If your child has no black bottoms, school uniform bottoms are perfect. Please have boys wear dark shoes. Dark tennis shoes are fine!

Fourth Grade News
Fourth graders are reading a narrative nonfiction article and are identifying how humans' leaving garbage in national parks changed the behavior and well-being of grizzly bears. In writing, the students are in the process of writing an opinion piece on "Do Manners Matter?" For religion, they are currently focusing on the first three commandments. The next social studies lesson will focus on our responsibilities as citizens.

Due to the COVID-19 situation and lengthy protocols that we would need to put into place or to practice, or play this year, the Athletic Board has made the difficult decision not to participate in the 2020-2021 basketball season.
