Dear
Parents & Guardians:
At the
beginning of our staff meetings, we all have an opportunity to share our
victories, and to give thanks for the blessings He bestows upon us. In addition,
we take time to rejuvenate and remind ourselves of our mission as educators, so
I would like to share with you something we read during our meetings:
Let my teaching drop as the rain,
My speech
distill as the dew,
As the
droplet on the fresh grass
And as the
showers on the herb.
For I proclaim the name of the Lord;
Ascribe
greatness to our God!
--Deuteronomy 32:2-3
During
this weekend’s reunion, some of the junior high students will be assisting with
tours of the building and answering questions. It is a prime opportunity for us
to share and shine. Our students reflect our mission. They are a shining example
of the greatness of Christ’s love in our school. Deo gratias!
We are in
the process of planning for High Interest Week classes again this year. These
classes provide students an opportunity for immersion into topics of unique
interest. They are scheduled for Tuesday, October 21 through Friday, October 24
from 1:30-3:00 p.m. If you are
interested in teaching (or team teaching) a class, please complete the attached
form and return it to the school office no later than Wednesday, September 24.
For those
of you who work at Wal-Mart, or who have family and/or friends who do, they may
participate in Wal-Mart’s “Volunteerism Always Pays Program” in which employees
may volunteer their time at St. Anthony Catholic
Paul
Schmidt of Radio Shack has donated a 50-inch RCA HD DLP TV that will be raffled
at the Gala September 27. Tickets are $25.00 and are available in the school
office should you like to contribute your time or treasure in that way. Of
course, we still have Gala and dinner tickets available in the school office for
you to purchase or sell, also.
Again,
remember, the last Safe Environment training will be held in
We offer
our thanksgiving to the Bank of Colorado for its donation of popcorn bags to the
school, and to Madeline Korbe for the writing pads, rubber bands, and spiral
notebooks that she donated to the school.
As we
approach the mid-quarter next week, continue to keep our St. Anthony family in
your prayers as we give thanks to God for His blessings and opportunities for
growth, and for the wonderful opportunities unique to our school.
Pax et lux,
Joseph
