I would like to thank everyone for a really wonderful Education Week. Everyone was so welcoming, and activities like the volunteer appreciation event were truly unique to the St. Anthony community. There were activities and disruptions every day, but you all rolled with the schedule and made sure your kids enjoyed all the events that we collectively put on for them.
Our children and parents are very fortunate to work with such a committed and caring group of educators. Your dedication to our students and families makes St. Anthony a very special place to work. St. Anthony is a community of people who care and this came out so many times throughout the week. I had a great time and feel blessed to be able to be part of such a unique group of people.
While there is lots more to come in the next few weeks, I really think that this past week was one of the true highlights of the entire year. Thank-you for all you continue to do to create an enriched, caring atmosphere at our school. It is truly amazing what a small group of educators can accomplish!
Have a great (and quieter) week this week
Paul
St. Anthony This Week
Monday, May 11
Shaun Elie (Masc) Workshops begin
Let’s get animated!!!
Focus on the tools and techniques required to create a ‘stop animation’. Students will understand the fundamental aspects of an animation, design concepts, construction techniques, voice over and audio editing procedures and most notably the importance of how to transform creative ideas into expressive works of art. For residencies of five days or longer, a workshop series in artistic video creation and editing is also available. This dynamic video-making project will teach students a comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental aspects of making artistic video and how to see through the lens of a camera.
