Dear Families of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School,
Hello! Happy September! This past week, you should have received a letter from our Advancement Office promoting the Fund for St. Anthony. I want to take a moment to explain the importance of this Annual Fund. The Fund for Saint Anthony is the philanthropic priority of our school. The money raised through the Fund for St. Anthony helps bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each student. 100% of the donations raised through the Fund for St. Anthony go directly to our students. Your generosity through this fundraising effort supports academic programs, extracurricular opportunities, our campus ministry program, our new Second Step Social Emotional Learning program, technology, professional development for faculty and staff, tuition assistance and much more.
Our goal is 100% parent participation.
Thank you to those who have already given. Thank you, in advance, for those considering a donation. I appreciate all the ways you support our school.
Only by His Grace,
Veronica Tucker
P.S. Pre-K Parents
--- Please don’t forget to mark your calendar for this Wednesday’s (September 11th) “What’s Brewin’ with the Principal”. I’m looking forward to chatting with our Pre-K parents in the library on Wednesday. Please join us for Mass if time permits!
