Dear Panther Families, 
 
October is my absolute favorite month. While apple season, cooler weather, and fall leaves are factors, October is actually the time I get to do one of my favorite “principal things.” Each October we ask students and families to nominate a teacher for the Christ the Teacher award. It is such an honor to read these nominations and hear how the hard work, dedication, and passion of our teachers is being recognized. 
 
While only one teacher can be designated for the award, nominations are a special way to recognize and thank our staff. This year, we are including a space to give kudos to a staff member who may not be eligible for the Christ the Teacher award, but who you would like to express special appreciation. Students are invited to submit nominations as well! 
 
We are blessed with a staff who are truly committed to our mission of knowing each child and supporting him or her as they grow their gifts. It is always a privilege to read how their work is appreciated beyond the school building itself! 
 
Please join us for Mass this weekend at 4:15pm on Saturday or at 8:15am or 10:30am on Sunday. We would love to see and worship with you!
 
St Anthony de Padua; pray for us!
 
Mercy, Grace, and Peace, 
Mrs. Karen Bogol
