I would like to give a shout out to our Preschoolers for a wonderful Thanksgiving Feast. Also a shout out to Mrs. Stuerer, Mrs. Lynch, and Mrs. Farris for putting together such a wonderful program. They all did a fantastic job.

St Nicholas' Day is an observance of European origin that is celebrated in some American communities on December 6th. The legendary figure of St. Nicholas is derived from Nicholas of Myra who officiated as a bishop in 4th century Greece. During his lifetime he developed a reputation for gift-giving by putting coins into other people's shoes, which accounts for many of today's Christmas traditions that involve leaving gifts in shoes or boots. Some Europeans who immigrated to the United States brought with them beliefs, customs and practices associated with St Nicholas' Day. Children in families who celebrate St Nicholas' Day receive treats - including candy, cookies, small toys, or fruit - in stockings, socks, shoes or bags on December 6th. Some churches have special services dedicated to the feast of St Nicholas on this day.

The outdoors in winter is enjoyed most when children are dressed properly. Please keep in mind students will be going outside for recess if the temperature is above 32 degrees. It is important to be aware of the daily weather forecast. Students will need a jacket for school and may also want to bring gloves, hat, and scarf.

I want to give a Shout Out to Mrs. Anabel Cano, Mrs. Jennifer Vizhnay, Mrs. Esperanza Angeles, Mrs. Anavel Bernal, and Mrs. Juana Angeles for helping with our Latino Outreach to St. Mary’s Of New Albany. They did a wonderful job of sharing the story of St. Anthony’s School. We appreciate your time and your support of St. Anthony.

It is that time of year again, the time for inclement weather. Remember that St. Anthony School is on its own in making the decision to close. We know that many of our students come from different locations and outlying areas, and we may still be in school when roads in your area may not be safe. While safety is our utmost concern, it is your ultimate decision if your child comes to school on a day when there is inclement weather. Please remember that our school closing will only be posted on WDRB Fox TV, St. Anthony Website, SAS Parent Facebook Page, or you can call the school. Also remember you can sign up for WDRB Snow Fox Alerts.

We will be out of school on November 21st, 22nd, 23rd for Thanksgiving Break.
