PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Last week we celebrated our school with prayer, academics, service and spirit. We weathered the challenge of the two delays and the reschedule of the parent appreciation day in true St. Ann style.  Thank you for the great support and participation in all that we do at St. Ann. We are truly blessed with the best students, teachers and parents! 

I would like to express my thanks to the parents and relatives who supported our Open House last week.  Your willingness to speak with so many visiting families is the best marketing for St. Ann.  My gratitude to the many parents and relatives who also decorated, cooked, served and watch over classrooms so that teachers could enjoy lunch together.  The flowers received and the donated food and beverages were greatly appreciated by all of us.

This week, there will be two student experiences presented by Arts For Learning CT.  These performances will complement the science curriculum in grades K - 4 and build an appreciation for the African culture among our students in

grades 5 - 8 during Black History Month.

Forty-five more chrome books and a cart arrived last week at St. Ann.  I am grateful to the Catholic Academy Board which has provided these to us. The board has made a financial investment in the future of our students through their generosity.  We are excited to get these into the hands of our students to enhance learning and increase student engagement.

Enjoy the week ahead.

Mrs. Griffin

BEE DAY

Congratulations to all students who participated in the Spelling, Math and Science Bees last week.  Your sportsmanship was remarkable and your knowledge truly amazing!  All students will receive a certificate of participation later this week.

                                               

Masquerade Valentine Dance 

It's still not too late to get your family's reservation in for the dance this coming Saturday night.   Last minute preparations for a great event continue throughout this week.  Donations are still welcome.

Please join us along with your relatives and friends for a fun evening!

LOOK WHO HAS ARRIVED at ST. ANN

He doesn't have a name yet, but will pretty soon if students have any say in the matter!  Our new friend made his appearance in each class on Friday to the amazement of all!

With every ticket sold for the Sonoma Wine Tasting, a raffle ticket will be given to each child in a family to win this over-sized monkey with tablet. Co-chairs, Valerie King and Christine Stafstrom  hope to turn your winter doldrums into a warm evening with friends, food and fun.

With the assistance of Mo's in Fairfield and food from some of the best restaurants in the area, this event should be one not to miss.  Send your tickets and money in with your child clearly marked to get in on the fun!
