Dear Parents,

Spring is only a few weeks away and it can’t get here fast enough.

We ask you to continue to pray for the St. Anthony of Padua Parma Community. SJJ will be giving back to St. Anthony of Padua within a few weeks. Thank you for your support and prayers!

Today, we had a special day at SJJ. We celebrated Mass as an entire SJJ Community all together in the church for the first time in two years. It was truly amazing to see a packed church and the students singing with their hearts.

We also had two special helpers in the Main Officer today. We had 5th grader Zach G. as Assistant Principal and 7th grader London C. as Principal. These students were able to see what happens day to day behind the scenes at SJJ. They won this opportunity during our PTU Homecoming Event from the fall. Zach and London have decided to allow an all school dress down on Monday, February 28. Thank you to Zach and London!

Next week, we look forward to Mass on Wednesday as we begin our Lenten Journey for Ash Wednesday. As always, parents are welcome to join us at Mass, which begins at 8:05am.

Our Power of the Pen team competed in the district tournament on February 5.  The team placed 7th overall out of 20 teams. Congratulations to August M. who placed 4th out of a total of 74 writers in the 7th grade.
