Message from the Principal

SAS Family,

I hope you and your family had a wonderful three-day weekend. It's hard to believe we're already in September and almost a month into the school year. As I mentioned at Back to School Night, the year goes by quickly, so please get involved as much as you can to enjoy our school community. We have some amazing events coming up, and I hope to see all of you there.

Please remember that we do not allow food delivery services for students. We want to keep our campus safe, and we don't know the drivers who come to our campus. If you forget to pack a lunch, call us, and we can coordinate with Mrs. Montes to ensure your child has a meal.

As always, if you need anything, please make sure to first talk with your child's teacher. They spend most of the school day with your children and are happy to help. I am also available if needed, but we want to ensure we're communicating in the best way possible for your child's success.

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

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!
