Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
It has been difficult keeping up with all the news at St. Ann. We have had several busy weeks with something for everyone. Election Day did not go unnoticed at St. Ann. Last week, our students in kindergarten and grade two enjoyed voting for their favorite book characters. DUCK won hands down in kindergarten while Strega Nona was the winner in second grade.
Since character elections were so stressful, many students and their parents returned to school on Wednesday to enjoy a few spirited games of Family B-I-N-G-O! Thanks to Mrs. Petrino for organizing this event. If she ever decides to retire from teaching, she can definitely become a caller at a Bingo Hall! Thanks also to the kindergarten parents who donated the refreshments and prizes for the evening. As the night went on, there was much fun and some students were seen trying to stare down the number that they needed!
It was a pleasure on Thursday to see most of our parents during conferences. For those of you who were unable to attend, please email your child's teacher to schedule a conference and to pick up your child's report card before Thanksgiving.
With only two and half day of classes last week, we enter into this five day week looking forward to more time in the classroom. On Wednesday, students in grade 5 - 8 will take their learning on the road as they travel to the FDR Museum in New York.
This Thursday, our youngest students will wrap up their unit on Thanksgiving with the traditional Thanksgiving Feast. The Pilgrims and the Native Americans will meet in Alumni Hall sharing songs, poems and some turkey!
As we look toward the holiday next week, we have much at St. Ann Academy to be grateful for. Please be assured that you and your children are at the center of our gratitude and prayers.
Enjoy your week!
Mrs. Griffin
