Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope you all had a restful weekend. Last week’s May Crowning Drive through was simply beautiful. Please see our Facebook page for photos and videos. Just a friendly reminder that May 22-25 is our 4-day Memorial Day weekend, so please enjoy it!
June 2 is our New Parent Orientation for new and Kindergarten families entering the school next Fall. Vicki Marsha will have uniforms available online. Please see Mr. Aguilar to purchase Vicki Marsha Scrip. Do take the time to vote for our school online for the Daily Breeze Readers’ Choice Awards. More info is below. If you are so inclined, please also take a moment to contact your Members of Congress to ask for emergency aid to Catholic schools and our families in the next COVID-19 Legislation package. Our requests include: equitable access to K12 federal funds for Catholic schools, direct funding to families for tuition aid and tax breaks for K12 tuition payments. Thank you in advance.
Mrs. Grey, Principal

SERVICE HOURS
Thank you to all families who have served their 25 family Service hours this year or who paid in advance ($10/hr) for those hours. Any hours that have not been served will be invoiced. You have the option to roll it into FACTS for the remainder of the year. Some families have signed up to help Mr. Flores with projects around the school to earn their service hours. If you want to help, please email the office and we can have you work your hours. If you want to make a donation to the school to earn your service hours, we are in need of gift cards, specifically from Home Depot for paint and supplies to beautify our school. Thank you!

It is imperative for parents of returning students to complete the Registration process ASAP. We are in open enrollment and if you have not registered for next school year, your child will be waitlisted. Should you have any questions, please contact me via email at agrey@stanthonygardena.org.
