St. Anthony Catholic School celebrates each individual as a unique child of God, provides a safe, Christ-centered environment that promotes cultural diversity, academic achievement, and challenges each of us to serve the school, parish, and community.
More than a school, we are a family.
Our 2020-2021 theme is Anchored in Faith
3rd Week of Advent
Lord, we’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting. Christmas seems so far away. Thank you for wanting to be with us always.
Help us to make room inside for all your love. Please help us right now to make a silent space inside just for you. Come Lord Jesus. We are waiting for you.
Amen

December Calendar
Advent Time, Talent, and Treasure
Advent, November 29-December 24, is a busy time with many opportunities to share our
Time, Talents and Treasures!
Our Catholic Social Teachings remind us that God made us to be part of communities, families, and countries, so all our people can share and help each other. This year as we are learning about Advent, we are focusing on the ways we can open our hearts and prepare for the Birth of Jesus.
This week we are collecting baby or toiletry items.
We have collected 70 pair of shoes and 110 pajamas. Thank you!
The Great Ornament Adventure
Each family is invited to create one ornament and bring it to school to hang on the office tree. The ornaments should reflect the theme.
What does your family have to give during this Advent and Christmas Season?
VIRTUAL STUDENTS
If you are a family receiving scholarships from the state, and your child is learning from home, this important message is for you! Please remember that late this summer, the scholarship organizations announced that they WOULD offer scholarship dollars for students who choose to learn from home through December. Under emergency order, the FDOE is allowing for scholarship students to continue remote learning. Mrs. Becker will be scheduling a Zoom meeting with Virtual Learners' families to discuss progress and the second half of the school year on Zoom.
Please reach out with any questions.

Working together, we can keep students and staff healthy.
