SAS SAINTLY NEWS

Halloween excitement continued last week with the SAS 4k and 5k classes participating in the downtown Pumpkin Parade. Local businesses generously handed out treats to costumed school children as they all enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. SAS appreciates all participating establishments for including St. Anthony School in this wonderfully generous event.

Last week was Red Ribbon Week and Saints were busy saying “NO” to drugs. Each day presented students with a theme to help understand the danger of drugs. Saints dressed up for each theme day, and the morning announcements reinforced that day’s topic to the student body. “Drugs are Spooky” and “Dreaming of a Wonderful Future” were just a couple of the ways in which students were reminded about the risks of drug use.

Basketball practice has begun, and the Saints will host St. Joseph of Yoakum in their home opener on Monday, Nov. 10 starting at 5:30 p.m. Last Thursday, SAS PE coach Sarah Moore held a basketball skills contest for Saints in grades 3-8. Participants were judged on their skills in passing, dribbling and shooting. Winners (7th/8th grade): 1st - Cormac Barten (also Overall Winner), 2nd – Landry Venghaus, 3rd – Indy Espinosa. Winners (5th/6th grade): 1st - Khloe Warschak, 2nd – Taitlyn Beauchamp, 3rd – Hayes Kridel. Winners (3rd/4th grade): 1st – Carys Barten.

SAS Junior High Ambassadors have started their Munchoes Apples fundraiser. The delicious, decorated caramel apples come in many different flavors, including fun Christmas designs. The sale runs through Nov. 20 with delivery on Dec. 4.
