Dear Families of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School,
Hello! I was able to visit the campus yesterday and walk through with the Facilities team. We are so fortunate that our only water issue was with the downstairs bathroom that has access from the playground. The rooms were repaired and continues to have dryers on them today and tomorrow. The rooms will be reassembled this weekend and will be ready to welcome students on Monday. The building now has access to water. A big thank you to our parish Facilities for acting quickly! While our building has fared well, I know that many of you are experiencing challenges and major damage to your homes due to this unprecedented winter weather. You are in my prayers. If there is anything we can do at school, please reach out.
Additionally, the superintendent has shared that the missed days this week are being waived by TEA so we will be able to move forward with our current calendar without major changes. Hooray! Missed events last week are in the process of being rescheduled.
Finally, continuing with our mission to celebrate diversity this month, I am excited to share with you that we are having a virtual event this Wednesday, February 24th from 8:15 am – 9:00 am. Mrs. Daphine Sands will be leading a discussion on diversity awareness and the importance of a common language of respect as the foundation for understanding. Please plan to attend if you can… And don’t forget you can log this for a Paduan Point!
If you have trouble with this link, please go to meet.google.com and enter meeting code uia-hhdc-fnm.
The faculty, staff, administrative team and myself are excited to see you and your dolphins on Monday!
Only by His Grace,
Veronica Tucker
Principal

“The Rosary is the best therapy for these distraught, unhappy, fearful, and frustrated souls, precisely because it involves the simultaneous use of three powers: the physical, the vocal, and the spiritual…” - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
ENGLISH ROSARY REMINDERS
Just a reminder that you are invited to join other parents in praying the rosary for our school every Monday afternoon at 2:30 pm inside the church. The English Rosary Group meets at 2:30 pm every Monday that school is in session. Drivers in the front carline have permission to park in line and leave for the rosary, as long as the orange carline number is displayed. We are typically finished by 3:05. There is no sign-up, and children are welcome. Masking and social distancing are required inside the church.
During this Year of St. Joseph, which began on December 8, the English Rosary Group will read the attached St. Joseph prayer at the end of our rosary. Also attached are this month's intentions--please feel free to send any additional intentions you'd like us to include to Denise Nahigian at neesta85@aol.com.
