Dear SAP School Families,
Thank you to all who took the time to vote for St. Anthony of Padua School as the Daily Breeze’s BEST PRIVATE SCHOOL IN THE SOUTH BAY once again! Voting ended on May 2. This award truly benefits our school and our children. We appreciate the support.
Congratulations to our school students who received their First Holy Communion this weekend! May this be the first of many that you receive throughout your life, as you grow every day in union with our Beloved Jesus in this Blessed Sacrament.
A friendly reminder that Our 3rd and final mandatory General Parent Meeting is scheduled on Zoom for May 5. Please look out for the link via email.
This week is National Teacher Appreciation Week! Please show your teachers how thankful you are for educating and caring for your children. This can be done in the form of letters, cards, emails, photos on social media #sapschoolgardena, or even purchasing gift cards for them via ShopwithScrip.com. Also, this Sunday, May 9, is Mother’s Day. Happy Mothers’ Day to all our wonderful moms! We will miss Muffins with Moms this year, but we celebrate all that you are to your families and to our school.
The last day to buy Scrip for this year is May 17 before we close out all accounts. This deadline has been extended, due to no FIESTA this year. Please contact Mr. Aguilar if you have any questions about Scrip.

RE-REGISTRATION
We continue our planning process for the 2021-2022 school year and have been accepting new students, even in these circumstances. 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. We are praying that you all remain safe and healthy.
SCRIP
One easy way to help you reach your $500 financial commitment is to purchase Scrip throughout the year. We accept credit cards in the office for your orders making it easier than ever! It’s basically buying gift cards to purchase things like groceries, gas, gifts, or things you need and want on a daily basis, but you can get fundraising credit for a portion of every gift card you buy! We have Scrip for Starbucks, Vons, Albertsons, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Gardena Supermarket, and so much more.
YEARBOOK $40
Get your school yearbook for $40! You won’t want to miss this year’s once in a lifetime edition, thanks to Sr. Tho and the Yearbook committee!
St. Anthony – Pray for Us
