We are delighted to announce that we will be presenting two awards at the The One Gala on March 1, 2025.



St. Anthony of Padua Founders Award

Our school annually honors and celebrates an individual, couple or group who has made a significant impact in our school community. This prestigious honor is reserved for those who have been instrumental in the success of our school and our mission to share the Gospel message and the love of Christ with all. Honorees have demonstrated dedication and commitment to St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School and our vision. This year's Founders Award will be presented to Jill & John Harris.

St. Anthony of Padua Community Partner Award

Our school honors and celebrates businesses or organizations in our community who are investing in our school and greatly enhancing our mission and vision. The prestigious honor is given only when a business or organization is identified for their exemplary dedication and commitment to St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School. The honorees’ contributions to our school enhance and enrich current programming and inspire us to reach higher levels of performance and achievement. This year's Community Partner Award will be presented to America's Family Dental-Dr. Diego Flores and Liz Flores, Realtor.

Investing in the Future of Our School

This year, your generosity during "Raise the Paddle" will directly support projects that enhance the safety, security, and educational opportunities for our students.

• Safety First: Help us install new security glass for our front desk area to ensure the safety of our reception team and entire school community.
• Enhanced Security: Support the upgrade and expansion of video cameras across our campus to provide a secure environment for students, faculty, and visitors.
• Marian Garden Renovation: Join us in revitalizing our beloved Marian Garden by adding planting containers. These will allow us to bring back our student garden club and incorporate hands-on gardening activities into classroom curriculums, enriching our students’ learning experiences.

Your contribution will leave a lasting impact, protecting our students and staff while providing meaningful opportunities for growth and learning. Together, we can make a difference—one paddle at a time!

SILENT AUCTION

Our silent auction will open for online bidding on Friday, Feb. 21! With many amazing items this year, please check them all out!  If you haven't used our Gala website before, please consider pre-registering on the site or text: apschool to 76278. You do not need to be present at the gala to bid in our silent auction - it's all online!

SINGLE BID VS. AUTO-BID: A single bid can be placed as a one-time bid for any amount. An auto-bid can be placed and set at the maximum amount you are willing to spend. With auto-bid, our system will place your bid at the minimum amount needed to lead. When you are outbid, our system will automatically bid for you until your maximum is reached.

WHO WINS? When two bids are placed for the same amount, the bid placed first, based on the timestamp, wins. Timestamps are set when the initial bid is placed, for auto-bids this is when the initial maximum bid was set. TRANSLATION? If you really want an item in our silent auction, consider placing an auto-bid, and place it early!

Auction will close on Saturday, March 1 at 9:45 PM and 10:00 PM!
