Dear St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School Families,

Happy May! This month we have so many things to celebrate! We opened with May Crowning when we celebrated the queenship of our Blessed Mother. Our first communicants looked so beautiful and handsome as they processed into church with their roses while the choir sang “Hail, Holy Queen”. Today, the learning extends beyond our school subjects as students look towards the future and learn about career choices they may have never even known existed. We are so grateful to our many community partners and parents who took time out of their busy days to share their occupations with us. As this month begins, we also look forward to our upcoming graduation celebrations for our wonderful Class of 2019! While we know these countdowns are on, we also know we have a lot of great work to do before these next 20 days of school pass! We are so proud of your students. Please thank them for their hard efforts and encourage them to finish strong! 😊

Only by His Grace,

Veronica Tucker
