CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WALK

We had a great time last week at our Catholic Schools Walk! Thank you to the families who were able to join us and support our mission. Our buddy classes walked together while reflecting on five core values of St. Francis's teachings. Funds will go towards tuition assistance at St. Anthony's.

HALLOWEEN DRESS UP AT SAL

This year, we will continue the tradition of wearing costumes here at SAL. All students are invited to be out of uniform on Friday, October 30th. Students in grades K3, K4, and K5 are welcome to come to school in their costumes for their morning parade and party. Please have the children wear approved out-of-uniform clothing underneath their costumes for an easy switch! Students in grades 1–8 will change into their costumes after lunch for their parade and parties in the afternoon.

When choosing a costume, please keep a few things in mind. We are a K3–8th grade campus, so please do not choose a costume that may frighten our younger students. If your costume includes a mask that completely covers your face or any accessories, those items will be used only for the parade portion of the day. And, as always, please refrain from any costumes that include any depiction of a weapon.

COSTUME PARADES

We will have two costume parades during the school day on Friday, October 30th.

The first parade is for our 3K, 4K, and 5K students. Beginning in the lobby outside their classrooms, parents are welcome to line the lobby so that they can see their child right at the beginning of the parade! Your child will head through the hallways, various classrooms, and even through the parish office! This parade will begin at 11:00 a.m. and should last approximately 15 minutes.



Our second parade will involve students in grades 1–8. Beginning at 1:00 p.m., students will participate in a hallway parade that will eventually exit the building and pass by parents gathered on our school playground. Parents will cheer and clap as they celebrate all our adorable children in their costumes! Please look for specific classroom communication regarding party logistics and item sign-ups.

Scrip

Scrip is one of the easiest ways to raise money for St. Anthony on the Lake AND is a key part of our fundraising activities. (See this great instructional video for information on Scrip and how to get started with your orders.) Money raised from SCRIP has been used to help support the purchase of curricular resources, for tuition assistance, and classroom supplies.

So how does SCRIP work? You buy either a physical gift card or e-gift card at face value. For each purchase, both you and St. Anthony earns money back. Earnings vary based on the rebate percentage offered by that merchant but range from 1.25% to 22%. Of the rebate earned, 50% goes back to the school and the other 50% is distributed at your discretion to one of the following:

· Credited to your family’s (or another family’s) tuition in the following academic year

· Donated to St. Anthony’s on the Lake School

· Donated to St. Anthony’s on the Lake Choir

· Paid to you as a cash rebate (2025-2026 rebate was paid out in July 2026)

Last year, some individuals earned over $300 in tuition credits and received over $400 in cash rebates!

The easiest way to purchase SCRIP is via the RaiseRight App. The RaiseRight App offers instant e-gift cards from over 1000+ merchants. You can purchase e-giftcards oftentimes in $5 increments while checking out at a store and use it instantly. For a list of merchants available through the app, visit https://www.raiseright.com/brands.

You may also purchase physical gift cards either through the app or using the Scrip To Go Order Form. The gift cards can be sent home with your child at school or picked up in the office.

Reach out to scrip@stanthony.cc for further questions.
