The infamous packed “Summer Packets” will be available for pick up on Tuesday, August 4th and class assignments will also be posted at that time.  Please note that tuition is a twelve-month program commencing June 1st. Your tuition must be current in order to pick up your packet.  Remember that tuition envelopes are now available in the school office if you would like to mail in your payments over the summer.

We will attend a Prayer Service and then hold our end of the year awards.  Please remember that our teachers believe very strongly in recognizing all students for their achievements.  Many awards will be given out in the classrooms prior to Thursday’s awards.  The awards on Thursday are reserved for those students earning the highest grade point average in each subject area.  Students are invited to wear nice free dress (church attire).  Appropriate length shorts that are not longer than the knees or shorter than four inches above the knees are fine.  We should conclude our morning and dismiss the students at approximately 10:30 a.m.  Please note that there will not be any Campus Care on the last day of school.

This week’s Tuesday letter is now online here.  View archived letters on the Tuesday Letter page.

Beginning next week, we will observe our summer office hours.  We will be open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00am to1:00pm.  Please feel free to come by and purchase scrip, pay tuition, say “hi”, etc.

You won’t want to miss our awards on Wednesday, May 27th at 1:15 in the Community Center.  Socco, softball, boys volleyball, tennis, boys golf and track athletes will be recognized for their participation in after school sports.  Spring coaches are encouraged to attend in order to recognize our athletes.  The 8th graders will be recognized with their awards for perfect attendance, CJSF, and Honor Roll as well as those who participated in cheerleading, SAINTS Service Leaders and Student Government.  The Yearbook dedication will also be announced. We will also recognize our 3rd graders who participated in the Oral Interpretation Peach Blossom Festival at CSUF.  It’s always nice to see parents attending and supporting their children in their school activities.

Please mark your calendars for one of the most memorable school Masses of the year.  This Friday, May 22nd, we will be having our Farewell Mass (outside of rooms 9, 10 & 11). This is the day to remember your tissues because the 1st graders will be saying goodbye to the 8th graders.  It completes the circle that began in the fall when our 8th grade welcomed our 1st grade to St. Anthony’s.  When the tears are dry, our famous Play Day begins.  The students are divided into four teams and they play games all day long. Volunteers are still needed to help supervise this huge event.  Please sign up in the school office. We ask that volunteers arrive by 9:45.  The games begin at 10:30 and finish up with the tug-of-war around 2:00.  If you would like to help, please sign up in the school office.  Please plan to join us for a day of fun!

Play Day Scrip - If you have not already returned your Play Day Scrip Order form please use the one in this packet. Cash is not accepted on Play Day, only Scrip.  In addition to the 8th grade snack bar, the Snack Shack will also be open and will only accept Scrip.  Both the Snack Bar and Snack Shack will be open after lunch.
