Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week we are collecting items for our Parish Thanksgiving Drive. We applaud you for sharing your wealth and bringing in non-perishable items for our drive this week, benefiting people in the community that are in need of food this holiday season. We will begin compiling and distributing baskets in the Hall next Monday and Tuesday, 11/25 and 11/26. Lunch will be outside on the benches on those 2 days. Then Wednesday, 11/27 is NOON Dismissal.
Last week you were given at least $200 worth of Hawaiian Raffle tickets per family, which are to be sold between now and noon on Monday, December 9 (the day of our drawing, which will take place after the annual Christmas program in the Church). The monies for these tickets are due by Friday, December 6, and are part of your mandatory fundraising requirement for the year. Please feel free to sell to family and friends during the Thanksgiving break to give them a chance to win a trip to Hawaii!
This Friday, 11/22, is our 1st Trimester Mass and Awards Ceremony. Hope to see you at our 8am Mass!
Mrs. Grey, Principal

SCRIP
One easy way to help you reach your $500 financial commitment is to purchase Scrip throughout the year. We accept credit cards in the office for your orders making it easier than ever! It’s basically buying gift cards to purchase things like groceries, gas, gifts, or things you need and want on a daily basis, but you can get fundraising credit for a portion of every gift card you buy! Work smarter, not harder! We have Scrip for Starbucks, Vons, Albertsons, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Gardena Supermarket, and so much more!
KINDERGARTEN EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION IN DECEMBER 2019
In December, we will be offering EARLY BIRD applications to St. Anthony Day Nursery Families and siblings of current families for incoming Kinder students for the 2020-2021 SY! Open Enrollment for other families begins 3/1/20. Applications are due by 12/13/19, and testing is on Saturday, 1/11/20.
REFERRAL INCENTIVE
There is a wonderful incentive for you to refer NEW families to our school. If you want your friends to know about us, we offer a $150 referral incentive per new family (not per student) who is accepted and remains in good standing. We can credit that amount to your tuition/fundraising account or give it to you in the form of Scrip: $75 at Christmas, and $75 at the end of the school year in June. You must request this incentive if you have referred families who bring added value to our school –– it is not automatic. Thank you for help in growing our school to attract the best families around.
St. Anthony – Pray for us
