Dear Parents of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School,

Happy Last Day of School! 

What a year! Among the admin, faculty and staff we have often said that while this year has had its challenges, it has been a great year. I have never seen this community so close, so hard-working, so supportive and so connected. I LOVE our St. Anthony of Padua family! It is such a celebration today to be able to have an all-school Mass together in the church. What a perfect way to end the school year --- gathered together to worship! In addition to Mass, we enjoyed our DNN Awards Ceremony and Step-Up Day! Just a wonderful day! We have so much to celebrate and so much to look forward to! 

I want to take a moment to thank our faculty and staff who have hit special milestones in their service to St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School:

  • 5 Years: Nestor Cayanan, Kathy Graff, Katie Tressel
  • 10 Years: Emily Domingo
  • 15 Years: Arlene Failde, Heather Koett
  • 20 Years: Charlotte Aldrich, Colette Carson, Laura Foy

One of the hardest parts about closing the school year, is saying good-bye. We are sad that some of our families must continue next year in another school. We wish them all the best. We are excited for the Class of 2021 as they start high school, but we know our hallways won’t be the same without them. And, we are also disappointed to say good-bye to Mrs. Kathy Graff and Ms. Kaitlyn Schmidt who will not be returning next year. Good luck to both of them as they say good-bye to St. Anthony and start their next adventures. They will be missed. Mrs. Missy Guion will join Mrs. Michelle Ramirez next year in teaching our 5th grade dolphins. We look forward to Mrs. Guion joining our St. Anthony family. We hope to have the counselor position filled soon. 

My prayer is that you have a relaxing, healthy and safe summer as we look forward to our 2021-2022 school year. As I have more information on protocols for next year, I will share those with you over the summer. Take care and see you at Meet the Teacher on August 10th!

Only by His Grace,

Veronica D. Tucker
