All Catholic Schools Band
This past Saturday, members of the St. Anthony of Padua band program had the opportunity to attend the All Catholic Schools Band Day at Bishop Gorman High School. Students and directors from Bishop Gorman, Our Lady of Las Vegas, St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton, and St. Anthony of Padua came together to put on a joint concert. Each school group performed, and, all of the schools combined forming a Mega Band of over 100 students to perform the final song of the program. Our very own Mr. Fox was given the opportunity to conduct the Mega Band this year! Our students received high praise from the other school directors for their performance, and the students represented our school well!

Lifeskill of the Week
Our Life Skill for this week will focus on "Sense of humor: laugh and be playful without hurting others." God gave us the gift of laughter and joy. Having a sense of humor is a great way to spread that joy to others. We always need to make sure that our sense of humor is never used to make fun or hurt one another. One of the best ways to experience joy is to spread joy!
