Dear St. Anthony of Padua Families,
What an awesome Red Ribbon Week we have had! A BIG thank-you to Mrs. O’Connor for her efforts in making this week educational and fun! I hope your students have shared with you the happenings on campus this week. From our Monday visit from Orbit who shared with us the importance of making safe choices to the student-made posters adorning the upstairs hallway to daily morning messages reminding us of our responsibility to take care of the bodies God gave us --- the week has been full of vital messages for all students to hear. Interestingly, as reported by the Red Ribbon Campaign, “Children of parents who talk to their children regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don't, yet only a quarter of teens report having these conversations.” Thank you for partnering with us in educating our students about the value of their minds, bodies and their futures as they make positive decisions throughout their lives.
Only by His Grace, Veronica Tucker

The month of October is dedicated to the Rosary, and after the Mass, the Rosary is the most powerful prayer at our disposal. St. John Paul II often said that the Rosary is a prayer of peace, and he encouraged families to pray the Rosary together. There is still time to set aside time as a family and pray the Rosary together this month!

We have had concerns brought to our attention regarding the unsafe and distracted driving of some of our parents and caregivers who are utilizing our parking lots. The safety of the students is our top concern; please always use extra caution in our lots.
- MIDDLE SCHOOL PICK-UP: Please be aware of students who are walking out to cars and mindful of their safety. Entering & exiting parking spots and our lots at high speeds endangers students.
- CELL PHONE USE: Texas Law prohibits the use of cell phones in school zones unless the vehicle is stopped or a hands-free device.
