🌱✨ FACTS Seeds of Wisdom 2025 ✨🌱
Our St. Anthony School staff joined fellow experts and educators at the Koʻolau Ballrooms for a powerful day of professional learning at the FACTS Seeds of Wisdom Conference.
This year’s theme focused on closing opportunity gaps for students through culturally responsive teaching, tech integration, student-centered learning, and social emotional learning. 🌍📚
We left inspired, equipped, and ready to plant seeds of academic success and belonging in every classroom we serve! 💙❤️
🌿 Waikalua Loko I‘a Field Trip Highlights from Summer School! We will continue the learning this school year!
📚 Learning Moments:
• Students walked along the historic stone wall (kuapā) and learned about the mākāhā sluice gates that control water flow and allow fish like mullet and milkfish to be raised naturally.
Big mahalo to the Pacific American Foundation for your hospitality during our visit this summer!
Our students explored the water cycle by building creative models using sand, rocks, and natural materials—shaping mountains and digging trenches to mimic how rainfall flows through streams and rivers, eventually returning to the ocean.
Our 5th Graders are ready. Welcome to the new 5th Grade team, parents and 6th and 2nd Grade teachers at SAS!
🎉📚 Back to School Bash 2025! 🏫✨
Our St. Anthony School community kicked off the new school year with excitement and joy at our annual Back to School Bash! Students met their teachers and classmates, dropped off school supplies, and explored their new classrooms—setting the stage for a year full of growth and learning. 💙❤️
Happy 1st Day of School at St. Anthony School The car line gates are open to welcome students and families!
Dear Lord,
As our students begin a new school year,
I pray that you will keep them in your care.
Send your Spirit to open their minds
to all that is true and beautiful and good
Help them to see the gifts and talents
you have given them and to use them well.
Help them to grow in knowledge and wisdom.
Help them to be kind to others
and lead others to be kind to them.
Give their teachers patience and understanding
and help them teach what is just and true.
Send your angels to guide and guard our
children and to keep them from all harm.
Open their young hearts to your presence
and enfold them in your peace and protection.
Hold them in the palm of your hand
and bring them home safely at day’s end.
Amen.

☀️🌊 Beach Day Fun at SAS Summer Program! 🌊☀️
This day was all about sunshine, sand, and smiles! From snacks, beach clean-up, and games to soaking up the joy of God’s creation, every moment was filled with faith-filled fun. 🏖️✝️
💦Water days are always fun filled with laughter, sunshine, and joyful memories!☀️

🍦SCIENCE + SWEETS = SUCCESS! 🧪
Our Summer Program students had a cool time making ice cream in a bag! Not only did they get to enjoy a delicious treat, but they also discovered the science behind it — including why adding salt to ice helps lower the freezing point to create that perfect creamy texture. ❄️🧂🍨
Learning has never been so tasty!
🤔 Did you know? Salt was once so valuable in ancient times that it was used as currency — that’s where the word “salary” comes from!
💥 FLASHBACK to FIELD DAY FUN May 2025! 💥
