Message from the Principal

SAS Family,

Thank you for an incredible first week of school! It was wonderful to see you at Back to School Night. We have so much to be grateful for, and we are fortunate to partner with you and your children as they grow in faith, academics, and socially.

There are many exciting events coming up, and I look forward to seeing you all there. The best way to make this year successful is to get involved. The PTO has many incredible events planned, and I encourage you and your families to be a part of them.

A quick reminder: there are some forms that need to be submitted:

1. Handbook signature form to your child's classroom teacher.
2. Title forms to the office.
3. All sports paperwork to Mr. B.

With Gratitude,

Myka Chambers

Carnival - Save the Date!

Get ready for the biggest event of the season—St. Anthony’s Fall Carnival is almost here, and this year it’s going to be better than ever! We’re kicking off the fun a little earlier at 4:30 PM to give our littlest Raiders more daylight to safely enjoy all the excitement.

There’s something for everyone at the Carnival: bounce houses, food trucks, a beer and wine garden, a cake walk, face painting, a balloon artist, Lucky Lotto, and tons of games and activities for the kiddos. But that’s not all—one lucky participant will even get the chance to slime Mr. B! You won’t want to miss that!

To make this event a success, we need your help! We’re looking for volunteers to assist with set up, help out during the event, and pitch in for clean up afterward. If you’re available, click the link below to sign up and be part of the fun.

So, gather your friends and family, and join us on the blacktop for a fun-filled night you won’t forget. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details. See you at the Carnival!

Snack Shack

The Snack Shack is officially opened today, Tuesday, August 20th!

First through sixth graders can swing by during morning recess to grab some tasty treats. Prices range from just $0.50 to $2.00, so there’s something for everyone!

But we can’t make this magic happen without our amazing parent volunteers! We need your help to set up, sell snacks, and tidy up afterward. You'll be working alongside our awesome 5th and 6th grade Student Government officers—what a great way to get involved and interact with the kids!

Snack Shack runs Monday through Friday, from 9:40 AM to 11:00 AM. All volunteers need to be cleared by Mrs. Stone in the office, so make sure to get that done if you haven’t already. Ready to join the fun? Sign up using the link below!

Friday Ice Cream

Sweeten up your Fridays! During Friday lunch recess, our first through sixth grade Raiders can purchase a delicious ice cream treat from the Snack Shack. What a perfect way to celebrate the end of the week!

We’re looking for awesome parent volunteers to work the Ice Cream Shoppe alongside our dedicated Student Government volunteers from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM every Friday. It’s a fantastic opportunity to make someone’s day a little sweeter and connect with the kids!

Ready to serve up some smiles? Sign up to help today!

Yard Duty Volunteers

Calling all SAS parents and grandparents! We are in need of volunteers to help assist at morning recess and lunch on the blacktop and playground. Volunteers will receive hours towards the required parent volunteer hours.

This is a great opportunity to interact with the kids outside of the classrooms!
