Week of October 13th, 2025
*Happy Feast of the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima!*
1. October is not only the month of the Holy Rosary, it too, celebrates two very important Marian Feasts: The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Feast of the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima. These special days go hand in hand because when the Blessed Mother addressed the crowd in Fatima, she said: "I'm am the Immaulate Conception and I want you to pray the Rosary in my honor each day." What a beautiful way to celebrate Mary, our Mother! She continues to guide us and protect us each and every day. Blessed Mother, Pray for Us.
2. The Padua Panthers are really enjoying a Spook-tacular month! From special school events, to fundraising, to awesome lessons, and all of the smiles in between, October is shaping up to be a pretty spectacular month. I am really proud of how hard our students have been working to be the best they can be each day. Keep on shining, Panthers! You are the best!
3. Special Thanks to all Families that purchased tickets for this Friday's Padua Panther 3rd Annual Halloween Table or Treat Event on Friday, October 17th! This event is always such a BOO-tiful one and we are really excited to come together once again for safe and family-oriented Halloween Fun! Parents, your support means so much! Thank you for all that you do! See you at 5PM on Friday evening!
4, Note: All students and their families must present their tickets upon arrival on Friday at 5PM. There will be no admission to our party without a ticket.

5. Thank you to all Padua Panther Students and Parents that sold chocolate throughout this year's World's Finest Fall Chocolate Drive!

7. The First Trimester is moving at lightning speed! There are lessons to learn and fun to be had! Let's keep up the fabulous work, Padua Panthers, and keep on making me proud by being the best you can be each and every day. We have the best students in the whole world and you are shining brightly like the stars you are! Remember: Team work always makes the Dream work!
8. We could never have too many love, hugs, or prayers in our life and we ask our Patron Saint, Saint Anthony of Padua to watch over us always. How lucky are we that he protects us and cares for us each and every day both while we are here at school and at home. Saint Anthony of Padua, Pray for Us.
*Love is Patient, Love is Kind...*
*God Bless You!*
