Parents,
Through love and prayer we are united. We thank our community for showcasing our strength as we came together this past weekend in a show of support for the Erevelles family. Many of you have asked how we can help the family and in this newsletter, you will find such a way that you can. We thank you for your love and support.
As we move through the next few weeks, we do so with hope and the desire to bring hope to others as we welcome the upcoming holidays.
Our Student Council is working together to host our school wide food drives. This year our participation is more important than ever, due to the effects the pandemic has had on many families in and around the community.
We encourage you to participate through these various opportunities.
Blessings,
Mason Finch
Director of Communications

Antonian Standard: Respect |
|
|
|
This week, we honor Antonian sophomores, Jacob and Katherine Bergeron. Their submission was sent to us and we thank them for being representative of what this standard means.
"Respectful twins, that’s what these two kids are! Not only do they refer to adults as ma’am and sir, they are kind and generous to everyone! Jacob is often found holding the door open at school for the students and his twin sister, Katherine, is a well-respected student by her teachers."
Our faculty could not agree more with these statements and we thank the Bergeron twins for upholding the Antonian Standard.

Faculty Spotlight: Jasen Anno and Jenny Russell |
|
|
|
Our Student Council moderators, Coach Jasen Anno and Jenny Russell, have dedicated their time and resources to cultivating a program that meets our standards.
They work with the elected officers of each grade level to help the students understand the importance of leadership.
As we acknowledge Breast Cancer Awareness month, Coach Anno, Ms. Russell, and the Executive Board stepped up to start a school-wide fundraiser to give our students the opportunity to donate to a worthy cause.
And finally, with Homecoming on the horizon, the Executive board has planned a fun and robust set of spirit activities designed to be suitable during this time of pandemic.
We thank them for their time, love, and leadership. Student Council is a wonderful representation of our students and our community.
