Hello Families!

We are looking for someone who would like to showcase their artistic talents and create an advertisement for our wonderful school! St. Anthony High School has given us the opportunity to place an advertisement for St. Anthony Parish School in their 2024 souvenir game day program guide for their upcoming football and cheer season. If you are interested in creating this advertisement, please let Miss Dueñas know as soon as possible. You would receive 5 service hours for completing this task! The advertisement would need to be 7" inches wide and 5" inches tall and it would take up half a page in the program. An example of last year's program has been attached to use for reference.

Though we can't wait for school to begin, we hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far! We would love to know what our St. Anthony families are up to this summer break! If you are interested, please share your summer adventures with Miss Dueñas (via email) so that they may be posted on our school's Instagram. Let's make our feed as fun and sunny as your break! 🌴😎✨

This week, members from the high school, parish, and our school met with Commander Stephanie Hall and two of her deputies to discuss the issues around those inhabiting Gumbiner Park. With the high school's new remodel, they will be adding lights around the gym and behind the Parish Hall which we hope will help light up the park and keep those who are inhabiting the park from vandalizing and doing other things. We are doing what we can do keep our community safe. We will be having a follow up meeting in a couple of months. In addition, there has been conversation about fencing the park and having it open only certain hours to deter from the forming of encampments. We will keep you informed!

If there are an issues you would like Miss Dueñas to address to Commander Hall, please send me an email and I will reach out to her. Together, we can help keep our Saints community safe!

Tuition is due the first of every month. If you have not yet paid tuition, you can pay online, call the front office, or come in and pay in person. If you have already paid, thank you so much!

Additionally, if you have not yet registered your child/ren you can do that as well. Registration is $350. Your child will not be on the class roster until registration is paid.
