Last Month of School! May 2019

Dear St. Anthony Trojan Families, Spring is here--well, under the rain, at least! April came and went, and the

students, faculty, and staff at St. Anthony School certainly filled every minute of a

short month at school!

We have much to be thankful for here at SAS. The month started with a successful

session of student AIR testing. The first week of April was full of activity! Our

junior high school students enjoyed attending “Our Town”, a play at Magnificat

High School in Rocky River. Then, Mrs. Huss and the SAS Pre-School took a field

trip to explore the Lake Erie Nature Center! It’s hard to believe, but we rounded

off that weekend with the last Open House of the year on April 6! On Sunday,

April 7, St. Anthony School was honored by Bishop Perez’s presence at Mass for

Confirmation. It was a beautiful and heartfelt Mass with many memories.

Before Easter, Mrs. Delgado held Kindergarten screenings for new families, and

Ms. Wachholz and the fifth grade class presented the Stations of the Cross. Many

thanks to our PAC for a successful Easter Egg-stravaganza and for all of their hard

work on the Malley’s Fundraiser! Thanks for all that you do! We send a special

congratulations (and wow!) to our very talented students who auditioned for the

SAS talent show! We completed the month of April with a thoughtful school Mass

on April 29, just before beginning MAP testing.

May will bring our school year to an end. We have already celebrated First Holy

Communion with our 2nd

graders. It was a wonderful occasion! We are looking

forward to celebrating the Pre-School and Eighth Grade graduations. Finally,

Spirit Week will be an exciting and fun last week of school!

With many blessings,

Dr. Lucia Heddleson

Best of the Month in Pre-School & Kindergarten

Pre-School goes on a Field Trip!

The Pre-School class took an amazing field trip to The Lake Erie Nature and Science Center! The

students not only met, but also got to pet, some of the resident animals living at the center! The

animals included a rabbit, a snake, an owl and a chinchilla! Wow, they all felt so different! After

learning about and touching the smooth scales of the Corn snake, it was time to say goodbye. All of

the students stood up and stomped their feet so that the snake could feel their goodbye vibrations!

The students did this because the snake does not have ears for traditional hearing. It was SO fun!

Our Kindergarteners are

almost 1st Graders!

Greetings from Kindergarten! The month of April

just flew by and now we are in the home stretch

heading toward 1st grade. We are working hard and

trying to make every day count!

Our reading and science units in April were both

about weather. We learned about all of the many

different kinds of weather we have here on the lake

in Ohio! We learned about rainbows and how they

are formed and what the various types of clouds

mean. Our weekly “meteorologist” enjoyed sharing

the forecast each day.

We also used water color paints to create these lovely

Easter eggs. Such amazing artists!

Stay tuned for a very busy month of May!!

Best of the Month in Primary – Grades 1 & 2

1st Grade learns about plants!

We have been learning about plants this past month. We are learning the parts of the plants and their

function. We have learned what plants need in order to survive. This week we will be planting seeds and

writing our observations in a journal.

2nd Grade Measures Up! The Second Grade Class has started a Math chapter on measurement. We will be learning about estimating,

measuring, and what measuring tools would be appropriate for measuring objects. We will look at the

measurements of inches, feet, yards, centimeters, and meters.

Best of the Month in Middle School – Grades 3-4 3rd Grade learns about our Presidents!

This month third grade worked on researching presidents of their choice. They then had to design a stamp

for the president that they chose. Their stamp needed to have a design that incorporated an important part of

the president’s life. They were creative and did a great job with this.

4th Graders look closely at the 10 Commandments! In 4th grade, the students worked on a Ten Commandments mini project. They took a deeper look into

the meaning of each Commandment by applying it to their own life. It made them examine how they can

live the Commandments better and helped them identify things that could keep them from following

them. The 4th graders also had a chance to make illustrations either in the form of a bumper sticker, a

comic strip, or a picture showing how to live the Commandments. The goal of the activity was to make

the Ten Commandments relevant to their life so they can become closer to God.

Most of the fifth graders and two fourth graders (whose help was greatly appreciated) prayed the

Stations of the Cross by presenting the stations through the thoughts of the real people who witnessed

Jesus' suffering and death. The entire school was present, and the students did an amazing job of

conveying the various feelings of both Jesus' followers and His enemies. It was a moving spiritual

experience, and I am very proud of the seriousness of how they approached this prayer.

6th Grade creates

Hamsa Art! In the Middle East Hamsa Art is

very popular. It is beautiful but

also has a purpose. This art

features a hand with an eye on its

palm. In the folklore of Iraq and

surrounding areas the Hamsa is

supposed to protect people from

the curse of the Evil Eye. 6th grade

beautifully replicated these designs

using crayon and paint.

5th Grade shares the Stations of the Cross in a new perspective!

Best of the Month in Middle School – Grades 5-6

Best of the Month in Junior High – Grades 7-8

7th Grade teaches the

1st grade! 7th Grade spent some time with their

1st grade friends before Easter Break,

during Holy Week. We worked

together making a bracelet with the

Jelly Bean Prayer. Eight different

colored beads with special meanings

were added, one at a time, to a string

to complete the prayer. When we were

all finished, each student was able to

wear their bracelet and take a bag of

jelly beans home to talk with their

families about what we did in class.

We all had so much fun!

8th Grade shows what true leaders of the School look like! 8th grade has had a busy month! This month the 8th grade students were Confirmed by Bishop Perez,

which was a beautiful and memorable day for them. They also were in charge of helping Mrs. Hunt work

the book fair! It was so much fun having Clifford come to all of the rooms to take pictures with the

students. Then in Language Arts, they wrote a short story and converted it onto a Scratch presentation

where they coded conversations, actions, and story lines for their characters. Only one more month until

Graduation and this class is enjoying every opportunity that they are given to grow and spend time together.
