NEWS AND EVENTS
Message for Padre Sports Spectators

Attention Padre Fans: Sports are in effect at Serra and we are so happy to have our student-athletes competing. While we love hosting our Padre fans on campus, due to facility capacity limitations and current California Department of Public Health spectator guidelines, we are only allowed to host immediate household members of athletes who have been provided tickets and are approved to attend events on campus. We look forward to a time when it is safe to gather in person to root for our Padres.
Save the Date for Pandemic Prom On May 15

Senior Prom will be held on Saturday, May 15 at the Courtyard of the San Mateo Events Center. Seniors will spend an “Evening in the French Quarter.”

Although this will not be a traditional prom, it will be an evening for the seniors and the guest of their choice to celebrate the class of 2021!

Please look for more information in next week’s Spotlight, it will include the parent prom permission as well as the date and time for the senior student meeting regarding prom. We are currently planning and working on the health and safety protocols for this event. Thank you for your patience as we plan an event that is safe and fun for our graduating seniors!

During the month of December, we showcased Padre family-owned businesses. We had an overwhelming response to this effort and have decided to continue to showcase these businesses.

We hope this year, you'll shop local and patronize these Padre businesses!

Check out our impressive list of Padre Family businesses and if you know of any other Padre family business that are not on our list, please let us know!

Thank you for your community support and remember to shop small, shop local, shop Padre!
