St. Anthony Grade School to Hold Open House

 

The open house will be held at the grade school at 405 N. Second St. in Effingham and is scheduled from 4 pm to 7 pm Wednesday, February 7. Families with students interested in attending preschool through eighth grade are encouraged to attend.

 

“We are very proud of our school and our students, and we invite parents to visit our school to see what sets us apart from other programs,” said Sturgeon. “Most importantly, every day is filled with prayer. Academically, we also offer the benefit of smaller class sizes, so students receive the individualized attention they need to excel in school.”

 

During the open house, participants will have the opportunity to visit with administrators; talk with teachers; tour the school with current students; receive information about the school; and experience the school’s integration of technology, including 1:1 iPads for students in grades three through eight and the new STREAM Makerspace accessible to all.

 

“As a Catholic school, our main goal is to teach our students the importance of faith and character, but we also challenge our students on an academic level,” said Sturgeon. “Our programs are designed to lead our students to success and to prepare them for high school.”

 

St. Anthony Grade School offers an average class size of 18 students; daily prayer and religion class, with all faiths welcome; strong emphasis on moral character; and technology in the classroom, with students in all grade levels using iPads regularly to learn and complete work.

 

No RSVP is required to attend the event. For more information, contact Principal Sturgeon at (217) 347-0419 or at msturgeon@stanthony.com.
