SAS SAINTLY NEWS

Last Friday, St. Anthony School recognized the men and women who have served our country during a Veterans’ Day program that followed the weekly Children’s Mass. After the program (put on by 6th grade), honored guests and their families were treated to a reception (put on by 7th and 8th grade). Junior high students spent time talking with the veterans, and thanking them for their service to our country. May God bless all veterans and their families!

Hoop-de-doo! Basketball season is here! Saint teams took on St. Joseph in Yoakum last Monday in their season opener. This Saturday, Nov. 15, the A team boys will participate in a tournament at Nazareth Academy in Victoria. Next home games will be on Nov. 20.

Recent SAS field trips have focused on area Catholic church history and those that have received a calling to serve it. On Nov. 4, SAS 5th grade visited the Incarnate Word Convent in Victoria to learn about the different vocations in the Catholic Church. Yesterday, SAS 6th grade toured the famous Painted Churches scattered across the countryside in our area, learning about each one’s history and beautiful intricacies.

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 November 20th with delivery on Dec. 4. Funds raised support the weekly elective program for junior high students.

Upcoming events: Advisory Council meeting on Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. SAS welcomes all to attend Children’s Mass each Friday at 8:15 a.m.
