GRATITUDE REPORT 2019-2020
FROM OUR PASTOR, PRINCIPAL, & SCHOOL ADVISORY COMMITTEE What a school year we completed! As a year with many ups and downs, it is more important than ever to take time to appreciate and recognize our school families and generous benefactors. We are pleased to present the St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School Gratitude Report, an account of the generosity bestowed on us during the 2019–2020 school year. Throughout the school year, we have been collecting anecdotal stories from our families about the beautiful impact that our school has had on them. We would like to share one with you that highlights the mission of St. Anthony: “I would like to say a word of thanks to you and your team for their selfless dedication towards our children. When this unexpected and unprecedented pandemic occurred last academic year, your team reacted very quickly and our kids had their materials ready to be brought home and the teachers found new ways to teach each of them despite all the difficulties. Thank you again, for all that you and your team has done and are still doing. I’m really glad that my child is a student at St. Anthony of Padua.” We have been blessed with courageous founders, generous benefactors, energetic and gifted teachers, attentive and hardworking students, and supportive parents, all of whom have been willing to make numerous sacrifices in order to further the cause of Catholic education for our students. During our 2019-2020 academic year, we added many programs. We adopted a new English Language Arts curriculum for Kindergarten – 8th grade requiring even more rigorous critical thinking and skill application. We implemented our Second Step Social Emotional Learning Program helping our students form more deeply the skills they need to be good friends and citizens. We worked to strengthen our community during our school year themed “Belong” as we added a Running Club, Father/Daughter Dance and Mother/Son Dance! All were huge successes which we look forward to establishing as traditions. Thanks to generous support of the Fund for St. Anthony, our first ever virtual A Million Wishes Gala, other advancement programs and our school’s ongoing focus on moderating operating expenses, we were able to maintain a balanced budget in 20192020. While our surplus was minimal, we were able to complete upgrades to technology, our campus facilities, and support tuition assistance. Your dedicated support is a blessing to all of us as we work to nurture the souls and enrich the minds of our children. Our mission to continue this tradition of educating responsible, faith-filled young people is possible because of your willingness to invest in our future. Thank you sincerely for all you do to support our mission.

FUND FOR ST. ANTHONY The Fund for St. Anthony is vitally important as St. Anthony relies on income from charitable contributions to help reach a balanced budget each year. The Fund for St. Anthony is the primary avenue through which we fill the gap between the cost of providing an exemplary education for each student and the amount paid for tuition. The Fund for St. Anthony is made up of hundreds of gifts from St. Anthony of Padua parishioners, parents, alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends.
THE LEADERSHIP SOCIETY The Leadership Society is a group of lead benefactors to the Fund for St. Anthony, who through their generosity demonstrate a commitment to the ideals and mission of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School. All individuals, companies and foundations are invited to join as members by making a gift of $1,000 or more to the Fund for St. Anthony. We are blessed and grateful for the devotion of the many members of The Leadership Society.
PADUAN PATRONS Gifts from Paduan Patrons provide major support for ongoing development at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School. We are grateful to all who participate in the life of our school by making a commitment to the future of our outstanding students and faculty.
