Advent Begins on December 1 | The first week of Advent centers on the theme of hope, and is marked by the lighting of the first candle on the Advent wreath, often called the “Prophecy Candle.” In this initial week, Christians reflect on the prophecies of the coming Messiah and the hope that these biblical messages inspire in their faith. | | |

Uniform Reminders from Mr. O | |
|
As we enter into our winter months, temperatures will drop. Please be reminded that we must all remain in dress code compliance.
On "regular dress days," students are allowed to wear Varsity Cardigan Sweaters obtained through Flynn O'Hara or the official Antonian-branded outerwear sweatshirts obtained directly through our Antonian Trading Post. Other forms of outerwear may be worn to campus, but must be removed/taken off while inside of the school buildings.
On "mass/formal days," students are allowed to wear a navy blue sweater, navy blue fleece jacket, or navy blue Antonian signature sweatshirt as outerwear. Other forms of outerwear may be worn to campus, but must be removed/taken off while inside of the school buildings.
*In addition to the appropriate outerwear attire, students are also permitted to wear Antonian letterman jackets, Antonian hoodies, and other TAPPS related outerwear.
If you are found to be in violation of our campus outerwear requirements inside of our school buildings, you will be required to remove/take off that article of clothing for the remainder of the day.
Slippers of any kind (classic slip-ons, moccasins, house slippers, UGG slippers, etc.) are not allowed at Antonian during any school day.
Antonian will classify the UGG slippers according to the official UGG website. Should you have questions regarding UGG slipper footwear clarification, please refer to the UGG website at https://www.ugg.com/women-slippers/ and filter "Slippers".
