Personnel Updates 

Each year, parents who send their children to Catholic schools in Delaware save the state an estimated $150 million while supporting Delaware's public schools with their taxes. In return, the state gives these families a stipend to reimburse them for a small percentage of their transportation costs. Now, that stipend is in danger of elimination. We are asking that you take time each Wednesday in May (May 7, 14, 21, 28) to tell the governor and your representatives in the Delaware General Assembly that families who sacrifice to send their children to Catholic schools deserve to keep their transportation reimbursement stipend.  

Parent Volunteers Needed For Funnel Cake Booth

St. Anthony's Italian Festival June 8th-15th

Please consider volunteering just two or three hours of your time for this very fun and important fundraiser.  Padua Academy has been in charge of the funnel cake booth for many years. We profited over $10,000 at last year's booth.  A large percentage of that is designated to advance technology at the school.  A smaller portion is donated to the After Prom Committee, but ALL is used for our students.  We need batter help, fryers, sugar assistants, cashiers, and a clean-up crew.  Again, please consider helping in this fun and profitable endeavor.  All volunteers will receive a free t-shirt and free admission to the festival on the day they volunteer. 

This site is for adults only, students must register with Mrs. G. in the PE Office. If you have a t-shirt from previous years, please wear that when you volunteer.  Please refer all questions to Mrs. Rainbow Shaw-Giaquinto at rshaw@paduaacademy.org. Click here for the online form.

On Saturday, June 14th, 2014 at 3:05 PM, the Men of Padua are once again sponsoring a great opportunity for Padua dads and daughters to spend a memorable and exciting afternoon at Citizen's Bank Park cheering on the Phillies with other dads and daughters.  We will be sitting in section 425 (above the third-base line).  Tickets are $35 each.  This event is reserved for Padua students and their dads/grandfathers/uncles only; sorry no moms or sons.  There are a very limited number of tickets available, so it will be first come, first served.  To purchase your tickets, simply fill out this form along with a check made out to "PADUA ACADEMY." Have your daughter return these to Mr. Cross.
