Dear Families of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School,
As we look forward to the upcoming year, I want to take a moment to thank all the members of the School Advisory Council who have been a support to me this year: Catherine Miller (Chair), Liz Flores, Michelle Little, Clay McCollor, Dan O’Neil, Miguel Otero and Carmen Qadir. We will have a couple of openings for next year’s council. The School Advisory Committee works to further the advancement of Catholic education for our children by providing leadership, direction, and support to the Pastor and the Administration. Areas of advisement include: general and strategic planning, policy development, budgeting, marketing, fundraising, program development, and facilities planning and management. The Council meets five times per year and attendance is mandatory. If you are interested in being considered for membership, please send a cover letter and resume to me at vtucker@staopcs.org. These will be reviewed by myself, Father Jesse and the Council. If you have questions, please reach out.
Only by His Grace,
Veronica Tucker
Principal

For Grades 3-12, FCWC provides a unique setting in which children can learn the power of words, gain practice in self-expression, and expand their creativity while having fun. Hesitant writers bloom in the supportive environment as they experience different ways of writing and develop the confidence to think of themselves as writers. Children who already see themselves as authors develop new skills, stretch their creativity, and enjoy inspiration and mentoring from professional faculty writers.
