Dear Parents and Guardians,
Yesterday we celebrated Mothers’ Day, and we hope all our moms felt special this weekend! It was heartwarming to see so many families last Friday at Muffins with Moms, after sitting together and celebrating Mass as a school community. Thank you to our Dads for serving our mothers in the Hall. Many thanks to our wonderful parent helpers for coordinating such a beautiful event and to Mrs. Pattie Padilla and Ms. Gricel Guzman for leading it. We also thank Mr. Pablo Flores for setting everything up. We hope you made some great memories! This weekend, we had a May Crowning “Santacruzan” Celebration at the LA Cathedral, and several of our students represented St. Anthony’s so well, in honoring our Blessed Mother. Today is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima and we ask Mother Mary for her continued protection over all of us.
Thank you for making National Teacher Appreciation Week so special for our faculty and staff! We are all so grateful for the outpouring of thanks, love, and support! The gifts and kind gestures were well received. Thank you!
