In compliance with Archdiocesan policy, all paid faculty and staff, youth ministers, volunteers, field trip chaperones, coaches, and other adults who work with children, are required to complete Safe Parish Training. The training is a forty-five minute online program designed to assist adults in protecting all children from harm, particularly from sexual predators. A background check of all those completing the training will be generated. It takes approximately TWO WEEKS for clearance to be granted by the Indianapolis Archdiocese. https://www.archindysafeparish.org/ Password Archindy2021

Water bottles have become a major distraction here at school. We are having issues with spills and leaving class multiple times a day to refill the bottle. We will still allow water bottles, but here a few changes and/or reminders: Only water may be in the water bottle, students may not have powdered drinks, flavored water, or sports drinks. They will be asked to pour these out. Water bottles MUST be filled before arrival to school. Students will not be allowed to fill water bottles in the morning. Students will only be allowed to refill water bottle before or after lunch. Students will not be allowed to leave the classroom throughout the day to refill water bottles.
Please mark your calendars for Friday, April 7th. That is Good Friday and we will be dismissing early at 1:45 to allow families to attend the Good Friday Service at 3:00. There will be NO After Care on this day!

Since its formation, Right to Life of Southern Indiana has been dedicated to developing principled and passionate pro-life leaders among Southern Indiana’s students. Through direct involvement with many community organizations, Right to Life of Southern Indiana has seen first hand the energetic and exceptional leadership of pro-life students. It is more important than ever to teach our children and young adults about the ‘Value of Life’. We want to empower our students to fight for the moral and ethical state of our nation. St. Anthony’s was very fortunate to have our 7th and 8th graders participate in the Value of Life Oratory and Essay Contest. Students had to research and write an original PRO-LIFE Essay on one of the following topics: abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, stem cell research, the Supreme Court’s historic reversal of Roe v. Wade, or the local resources that are available for women and babies in our area, such as pregnancy help centers, Choices Life Resource Center, St. Elizabeth’s Maternity Home and Safe Haven Baby Boxes. If they were part of the Oratory contest they also had to read their essay the night of the contest. We are happy to announce that we had many winners in both the Essay and the Oratory Contest.
