Principal's Message

Dear Parents,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at Back-To-School Night. I hope that you enjoyed meeting with your child's teacher and hearing about the upcoming school year. This Wednesday is the first Home School Association meeting in the school library from 7:00PM - 8:00PM. I hope that you can join us as we come together to discuss upcoming school events and the need for your participation.

As you entered the building the other night you were greeted by thirty large boxes at the front door. I hope that your children told you about what those boxes held. On Friday, each student at St. Ann Academy was gifted a Catholic Academy of Bridgeport backpack. These backpacks were made available to our students by WEBE and will be proudly used by students in grade 4 - 8 as they change classes each day. Managing the books, binders and supplies will be much easier for our students thanks to this gift. Our younger students will be using the backpacks for field trips and at the Wildcat-A-Thon in October.

This week, we also had a student workshop for Wingman. Miss Pesta, Miss Maloney and Miss Titus along with sixteen Wings of Light leaders met on Thursday in the library. Teachers and administrators from Bethel Middle School came to St. Ann to understand the program through the eyes of our students. These professionals were very impressed by the connections, thoughts, reflections and collaboration that students shared in this training. The official St. Ann Academy KICK-OFF for WINGMAN is scheduled for Wednesday, October 12th. More information regarding this event will follow.

Our first full week of school was busy and filled with many surprises. This week we look forward to honoring our dads on Thursday evening with our First Annual Dogs and (Root) Beer with Dad. This is a fourth grade sponsored event. I hope to see many students and their dads for a fun night.

Enjoy your week!

Mrs. Griffin

BASKETBALL COACHES are NEEDED!

There are 24 students hoping to play basketball this year and only two parents who have indicated that they may be willing to coach. If you signed your child up on Back-To-School night to play, please consider becoming a coach or an assistant coach. Each team needs two Virtus certified and background checked adults to coach.

Mrs. Griffin needs to register teams by Wednesday this week with the St. Ann Parish League. The cost to play will be $90.00 for the season. Uniforms will be given to players when the season begins.

There are 7 JV Boys, 6 JJV Boys and possibly a JV Girls team comprised of 7- 5th - 8th grade girls.

We would certainly like to add more students to these teams so if you did not sign your child up but want to do so, we need to hear from you by Tuesday. Please email Mrs. Griffin at pgriffin@catholicacademybridgeport.org with your child's interest.

REMEMBER THAT WE NEED YOU TO COACH or ASSIST in order to make this happen for our students.
