Dear Families of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School,

What a week! I’d like to take a moment this week to brag on our Middle School Students as they had an excellent week this week! Some of you who have only Early Childhood and Elementary students may not be aware of our extensive Middle School electives program. Students choose from a variety of choices: Theatre, Percussion Ensemble, Studio Art, Stock Market, Catholic Art, Martial Arts, Robotics and so much more. In the Debate class this week, Admin and other teachers visited the Debate class in which students argued topics such as: phones in school, value of video games, free field trips and more. They are really learning how to see both sides of an argument and defend either position. Our 8th graders had their annual Egg Drop on Tuesday. This is one of my favorite days! The students build contraptions based on what they’ve learned in class in the hope that when they are dropped off the roof, the egg won’t break. And I get to help drop the eggs from the best view on campus. 😊 The students did very well with only a few eggs broken. And, this week, our Navy Baseball Team has represented us well making it to the Championship Game on Thursday night at Strake Jesuit and putting forth such amazing effort. We are so proud of being #2 in the entire Archdiocese! So, if you see a Middle Schooler please give them a high five and thank them for representing us well! 

Only by His Grace,

Veronica Tucker
