Medications For Students

If you have registered an over-the-counter or Rx medication for your child, please make plans to pick up the medication personally from Mrs. Glorioso, R.N., by the end of the day on Tuesday, May 21.  No medications of any type will be released to children or sent home in backpacks.  If you choose, you may leave non-prescription medicine in our locked cabinet over the summer; if not expired, it may be used for the student again upon receiving a new 2013-2014 Medication Authorization form in the fall.

Ending Our Year With God!

WOW!  The year will be coming to an end on Thursday, May 23!  On this day, we will transport all of the children to St. Francis of Assisi for our final Mass honoring our departing 6th grade students.  Please make plans to attend the Mass with your child as dismissal will be directly from St. Francis following the Mass.  Remember there is no ACE on this day, so you must come to St. Francis to pick up your child who will be dismissed directly from Mass.  Please refer to Edline for the carpool procedure for dismissal following the Mass at St. Francis.

Rainforest Adventures!

As spectators watched, Franklin drifted off to sleep and awoke in the rainforest!  With the assitance of his class’ pet iguana, Rex, Franklin finally found a home in the rainforest.  Following their production, the characters found their habitats within the St. Anthony rainforest in order for all rainforest visitors to get a first-hand understanding of each creature.  Congratulations to all of our rainforest friends!

Learning Is Fun At St. Anthony!

Each day students at St. Anthony Catholic School grow and express their knowledge in unique ways, allowing each child to grow in confidence and understanding of the world in which they are a part.

Third grade student, Caroline Bounds, helps to create a board game which will reflect on a particular topic the students have learned about during the school year. Students must come up with their own questions and answers, design and make the board, write directions, and teach another group how to play the game.

Our 4th Annual Via Creativa Night proved to be a huge success!  This past week, talented Eagles delighted the audience throughout the evening at the St. Joseph Fine Arts Center.  Guests were welcomed into the Visual Arts Gallery with individually selected pieces students created throughout the year.   Once the performances began students proudly showcased their musical talents in singing, percussion instruments, piano, band, and strings.  Performances in dance, improvisation, and karate also delighted the crowds.  Congratulations to all of the Eagles who participated in the Via Creativa programs, the instructors, and Mrs. Glorioso who coordinates the Via Creativa program!
