Dear Parents and Guardians,
First off, I wish to send a heartfelt thank you to all the students, parents, faculty, and staff for making my birthday a memorable one. It was a beautiful tribute after Mass on Friday and the entire staff and student body really made me feel so special. What a wonderful reminder of why I do what I do each day. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the cards, gifts, flowers, and kind gestures of love and appreciation. It is a tremendous blessing to be here at St. Anthony’s. I thank the Lord every day for the opportunity to lead this school and be a part of our outstanding community.
Second, I want to say a huge Congratulations to our Theater students, and especially Mrs. Garcia, Ms. Lozano, Ms. Mahar, and all our Musical Theater parents for putting on a spectacular showing of Aladdin, Jr. this past weekend! It was a treat to spend my actual birthday on June 1 watching the students perform. Our small class shows were also a highlight of the past week. Excellent job to all our student performers!
Finally, I want to say how proud I am of our Student Government officers. They served us well and honorably this year. Last Friday, we had the Installation of our new Student Government officers. The torch was passed on, and it was touching to see leadership blossom in our youth. Thank you to Mr. Perry for spearheading our Student Government this year!
This is our 8th graders’ last week of school. Our prayers go with them as they prepare for graduation (this Friday 6/7) and beyond. We pray that they continue to represent our school and their families well. As a special remembrance, students will have time to sign each other’s yearbooks before graduation. Congratulations to the winner of our yearbook contest, Milania Ballesteros! (8th gr.) If you haven’t purchased one for $40 yet, please order your copy in the office today. First come first serve, until they run out. Thank you to all the 8th graders who came to our last 11am Sunday monthly family Mass of the school year. You and your families will be greatly missed!
God bless,
Mrs. Grey, Principal

STUDENT GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION 5/31
Our current student government has raised almost $600 from our recess snack cart this year! We are grateful to them for their leadership in creating multi-grade famliies for our school and for using this money raised to buy a microwave for daycare, a ball pump, and sports equipment for our school! Our new Student Government was announced last Friday, 5/31 after Mass. Thank you to Mr. Perry for spearheading our Student Government!
St. Anthony of Padua, Pray for Us
