The ties have FINALLY come in. Global School Wear has increased their price, new price is $20. Please either come by the office to purchase or send money with your child for purchase. Effective October 5th, if your child comes to Mass without a tie, they will be given one and your FACTS account will be charged $20.

We have had a few of our one-to-one device screens shatter due to students not being careful with them. Unfortunately this means an out of pocket expense for the parents. In order to avoid having to pay for a broken computer, an option would be to purchase a protective cover. These devices will follow students from grade 3 through 5 and grades 6 through 8. The cost is nominal for the cover as opposed to the cost of a new computer.

Here is an Amazon link to a cover that would work for grades 3 - 5.

Gardening Angels!

We had an eventful meeting on Sept.6th. Our cantaloupe vines are finished producing for this season so we cleared away the cantaloupe vines and will prepare the soil for our next crop. We harvested our watermelons, 3 sugar babies and our very large icebox watermelon. All gardening angels should know how to tell if a watermelon is ready to pick!  We checked on our many pumpkins and we discovered that we had one hidden in the center of our tomato vines! We are hoping to harvest these pumpkins at our next meeting. We found 4 loofah sponge gourds, and will be looking to do a bit of research on how to dry these.

We finished our meeting by eating 2 of our watermelons, and they were delicious!  We gave one to Mrs. Dickert as a thankyou for letting us grow so many good things this summer.

We will meet again on September 20th and hopefully by then the pumpkins will be ready to harvest!

Thank you Gardening Angels!

Looking forward to God's harvest!

Mrs. Parnham

Attention all Gardening Angel's!

Most of our pumpkins were harvested and will be given away to members at the next meeting on September 20th. There are still a few that are green and will be ready later on.

See you soon!

Dear St. Anthony's families,

This year has been off with a whirlwind. We want to say thank you to all of you for your continued support and involvement. We love the sense of community we are feeling on campus, within the church as well as with our CYO families! Due to a scheduling conflict, we've cancelled our monthly PTG meeting for September 20th. We are blessed to share many ministries on campus, however, there are times when we need to pivot due to unforeseen circumstances. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our October PTG meeting on October 18 at 6 PM in the library.

We are seeing involvement within our community such as Alter servers, Choir service, Garden club and CYO that are record breaking... so wonderful to see so many of our children and families involved.
