APRIL, 2008
Even though it doesn’t quite feel like spring yet, the trees are beginning to show some green, daffodils and tulips are creeping upward, and daylight savings time gives us more opportunity to enjoy God’s gifts of nature.

in the lost/found box. If your child is
missing anything, please encourage him/her to check in the cafeteria. On Monday, anything unlabeled will be sent to
Good Will.
DRESS DOWN COUPONS
From
the last Home-School general meeting were distributed before the Easter break
and are good for Friday, February 11.
Requests for Fridays being the better day for dress down have been
honored, hoping to make your end-of-week a little easier J!
And
finally, I received a lovely note from Brittany Hanks, class of ’07, now
attending Delaware Military Academy.
She credits her success there with the foundation she received
here. Moreover, she is working with
students helping them to prepare for Model UN.
She’s well suited to it, since she was one of our “stars” at St.
Anthony’s.
FROM THE PEN OF SAINT FRANCIS DE
SALES:
Don’t lose any opportunity,
however small, of being
gentle toward everyone.
Don’t rely on your own efforts,
but only on God’s help.
God’s
blessings on you and your families,
