Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy Memorial Day! On this special national holiday, all our prayers and gratitude go out to those who have selflessly served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Our thoughts are also with those who have lost loved ones. With our faith, we live in hope that we will be reunited with all our family and friends who have gone before us, in heaven one day. Enjoy your long weekend and we will see you back at school tomorrow.
Our annual Spring Musical, Aladdin, Jr. is coming up this Friday and Saturday, 5/31 and 6/1! A huge “Thank You” to Mrs. Garcia, Ms. Lozano, Ms. Mahar, and all the amazing parents who make up the Musical Theater Committee. Please join us on Friday, May 31 and Saturday, June 1. Parents with children in the play– Please have your children at school no later than 6:00pm on May 31 and June 1 in order to have them ready for a prompt start time. Doors open at 7pm. If you haven’t purchased tickets, do so for $8 presale or at the door for $10! VIP tickets are $20 and your seats in the front, and come with food and drink. You don’t want to miss out on this amazing event! We are so proud of all our students for their hours of dedication to the play. We will also have food and drink vendors on campus both nights.

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 will be announced next Friday, 5/31 after Mass. Thank you to Mr. Perry for spearheading our Student Government!
St. Anthony of Padua, Pray for Us
