We are still in need of volunteers for this year's planning committee, specifically in the areas of Finance, Silent Auction, and Live Auction. Committee members do not have to be school families to help...planning is already underway so it would be great to fill these roles as soon as possible! Can you help? Email Andrea Wojcinski.

 Dear Families,
Help your child avoid the summer slide: encourage them to stay active physically, academically and spiritually. Use the
summer enrichment monthly cards given to students on Wed. (may be in a bag yet?) for a variety of challenges and enrichment. There are "your choice" squares for them to fill with their own ideas. Below are many options, and we know the children are very creative! Have them mark off as many challenges each month as they can, and return their sheets on orientation day so we can celebrate their enriching summer at the beginning of school. One student asked if they could use dots so they can use the square more than once...absolutely! Use the sheets however they are useful and encouraging for your student!
Nurture your child's inner "Book Worm" this summer; they can use their
bookworm bookmark to record some of their favorite books.
Our hope is that your child spends the summer reading, playing, praying, and enjoying the long summer days. In this newsletter you will find several resources, links, and ideas for your family.
Please take a photo of your child reading or doing an enrichment activity and send to the
school communications email or post on facebook and tag St. Anthony on the Lake School. We would love to see the fun things you are doing to stay active academically, physically, and spiritually this summer!
Enjoy the summer!

Thank you to all of our teachers and staff! We greatly appreciate all you do for our children! Thank you to Fr. Tony for the opportunity to affirm them at Mass!
We said good-bye, or see you later to five of our teachers. We wish them well in their future endeavors.
Two of our teachers leaving have been here for many years and their legacy will continue with items purchased for our school. Three chicks will live in our parish garden for the connection they have had with it and for the memory of hatching chicks in the 3rd grade classroom with Mrs. Sellers. A Wisconsin flag will now also hang on our flag pole in gratitude for all we've learned about Wisconsin history over the years with Mrs. Krahn. Thank you so much for your dedication to our students!
