Seniors Receive Prom Letters from Grade School Students

Padua seniors realize
now more than ever – they have younger peers who care about their actions.

Grade school students from St. Anthony of Padua
wrote letters encouraging prom-goers to be safe and make good choices on
prom weekend.

“Please be safe,” said a grade school student who hand-delivered letters with his classmates on Wednesday, May 8, 2019. “Remember don’t drink and drive or text and drive,” said another student.

Teachers and administrators at St. Anthony of
Padua and Padua Franciscan High School organized the Prom Letter Project. This
has been a long-standing tradition with the partner schools. Every year the
letters are very impactful on Padua’s seniors. They enjoy reading them and
meeting young students who look up to them. It makes students think twice
before driving under the influence.

About 175 prom-goers received
letters ahead of the dance, which is on Friday, May 10, 2019.
