Our Foundation Gala Is Just Around The Corner!
The much-anticipated Annual Foundation Gala is rapidly approaching, set for Friday evening, April 26th. This event holds a special significance for our community and the mission of our school. Through your support, the proceeds from this event will go directly to the St. Anthony of Padua Legacy Fund to support families who want to provide their children with an exceptional Catholic education. The remaining proceeds will be applied back to our school to enrich the programs we provide for our students.
Please remember, this is the only mandatory fundraising event required of our school families and there are numerous ways to contribute:
- Purchasing individual seats or a table
- Volunteering to assist with set up and cleanup
- Donating items for our Silent and Live Auctions (LINK to Acknowledgement of Charitable Donation Form)
- Assembling Class Baskets (please see all of the terrific themes for this year - included below and linked here!)
- Selling Foundation Raffle Tickets – the minimum of raffle tickets each family is expected to sell is $200.
This week our Raffle Ticket Competition will begin! In addition to the competition, this year we've added something new: for every book of 10 tickets a student sells, they will receive 2 free dress passes!
In addition, when each student in a family sells all 4 books, the family will be entered into a special tuition drawing for the 2024-2025 school year! Two separate drawings will be held: one for Pre-K through 4th Grades and another for 5th-8th Grades. Each drawing winner will receive $3,000 in tuition assistance. The drawings will occur during the Gala, however, families need not be present to win.
Your participation, in any form, truly makes a difference. We greatly appreciate the generosity of our amazing community and look forward to welcoming everyone at this year's Gala! Additional Gala News is included below!

Life Skill of the Week
Our Life Skill for this week will focus on "Prayer: talk and listen to God." What a perfect life skill to focus on during this Holy Week. Prayer is our lifeline to God. Be sure to pray often and with intention this Holy Week. Also, set aside time to find a quiet place to sit and listen for God. Let's give ourselves opportunities to be open to receiving God's message in our lives. Holy Week is all about God's love for us and all that Jesus did for our salvation. Let's be sure to remain in a state of prayer this week as we look forward to the culmination of Holy Week and Jesus' Resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Sister Marguerite Visits 3rd Grade
This past week, Mrs. Kline and her 3rd grade students had the delightful opportunity to host Sister Marguerite in their classroom. Sister Marguerite shared insights into her spiritual journey and the captivating world of dedicating oneself to the church and God. Her story left a lasting impression on our students. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sister Marguerite for sharing her inspiring narrative with us.
