Dear Families of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School,
This week, I am called to simply send a thank you for the tremendous graciousness of each of you. One cannot work at St. Anthony of Padua and not notice all those who contribute to this wonderful place. As I write this, the usual morning carline crew is pulling up outside my window ready to open doors, tie shoes and help with backpacks. This week, we have had volunteers in the library, Pre-K parents attending our first What’s Brewin’ Principal Talk this past Wednesday, our Gala Committee planning a fantastic event for this spring, donations coming in for the Fund for St. Anthony and so much more.
Additionally, this past week, many of you have reached out to offer help to the Perera family and to the school so that we can be sure our dismissal runs smoothly and does not interfere with the funeral honoring the life of one of our fathers. These are the things that I know set our school apart. Thank you for helping us live our faith and carry out our mission in big ways and small ways.
Only by His Grace,
Veronica Tucker
