A Message from the Executive Director
As St. Anthony School Programs concludes another school year, I would like to thank you for your generosity and support of this unique program. Our uniqueness has led us to be a national model, as well as a pacesetter for special Catholic inclusive education. Our program is founded upon the premise that every student at St. Anthony's is capable of learning, living, working and playing in his or her school or community. By providing a wonderful and specialized educational program, our goal is to provide each of our students the capability of becoming an active participant and contributing member of society. We don't have the luxury to cut corners on our students' education. We are asking for your support. A gift today is an investment in the future for our students. My best regards, Gary D. Lasinski Executive Director St. Angela Merici Welcomes St. Anthony ProgramAfter more than 100 years of educating students, St. Colman's School will be closing its doors at the end of this school year. In response, St. Anthony's will be relocating our Resource Room to St. Angela Merici in White Oak. In preparation, St. Anthony Staff has been working closely with the St. Angela Merici staff to ensure a smooth transition for our students. Our staff has spoken at parent meetings, staff training sessions, and in May conducted a disability awareness training for the St. Angela Merici students in order to give them a better understanding of our program and students. Soon our students will be visiting the site to have a tour of their new Resource Room and meet some of their new classmates. The Principal and staff at St. Angela Merici have welcomed us, and our students and staff are looking forward to being part of this outstanding school.Summer CampWith another school year coming to an end, it's time for our families to turn their attention to summer activities. St. Anthony's is pleased to be able to provide a second location for Summer Camp this year. Joining the camp already in place at Word of God will be a four-week camp program at Saints Simon and Jude. We are able to provide this camp free of charge to our students, thanks to the generosity of our donors. Last year, camp participants visited the zoo, had a swimming party and ended the summer with a talent show. This year's camp staff is already gearing up for another great summer of field trips, crafts, and special activities.Bowl-a-thon
Golf InvitationalWe were blessed with another beautiful day for our golf outing held April 17th. This sold-out event welcomed 120 golfers to play one of the most premiere courses in the country—Oakmont Country Club. Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Rocky Bleier participated as a celebrity golfer. He teed off with each of the foursomes as they made their way around the course. Rocky added a fun twist to the day and many of our golfers were able to go home with an autographed golf ball. The 2006 Golf Committee, chaired by Board Member, F. Duffy Hanna, solicited sponsors, gathered donations for the silent auction and sold ads—making this our best golf outing ever. Thanks to everyone who supported this event, and we hope to see you back again next year.Save the DateOpportunity Award DinnerFriday, November 3, 2006 Westin Convention Center Cocktails 5:30 p.m. Dinner 7:00 p.m. 84 Lumber Classic
Happy 10th Anniversary
Please HelpWhether it is academics, after-school sports or cultural activities, our inclusive program gives children with mental disabilities an opportunity to experience all that life has to offer. This year, a student played Joseph in his school's Christmas play, and another student gets 100 percent on his weekly spelling tests which he takes with his first grade class. Did you know that 87 percent of the students completing the Duquesne Program go on to be self-sufficient, working at paying jobs and/or living independently?These are just a few examples of our students' successes. Our students have much to do and learn, but they are fortunate that they don't have to do it alone. They rely on support from their families, the experience of the St. Anthony School Staff and the kindness of friends who remember them through their charitable gifts. As you know, we rely on our donors to help us reach our goals each year. We ask that you consider making a charitable gift to St. Anthony's so that we may continue with our mission of providing a loving, inclusive Catholic educational setting for these special children. An envelope has been provided for your convenience. Thank you in advance for your support. Please remember our children in your prayers. They remember you in theirs. Congratulations Graduates!
We also congratulate David Bechtold, Eddie Belasco, Devin D'Amico, Joey Dragan, Paul Groark, Kaila Marshall, John Mozeik and Kristy Swencki for completing the High School Program. We are excited that many of you will be continuing with St. Anthony's by attending the Post Secondary Program. |
