News from the School Advisory Board
Dear Saint Anne School Family,
As the Christmas season approaches, we hope that you will consider participating in the Saint Anne School Annual Teacher Appreciation Fund in recognition of our 2016 National Blue Ribbon award winning teachers and staff and their devoted diligent work to stewarding our children both academically and spiritually.
Several years ago, the Saint Anne School Advisory Board established the Christmas Gift Fund to recognize and reward our teachers. Nearly all school families participated in some way in past years, and we hope to continue this generosity in 2016.
We ask that you consider making a contribution to the Annual Teacher Appreciation in lieu of a gift for your child's specific teacher. The funds will be distributed among the school faculty and staff with an acknowledgement of your family's participation.
It is well known that our teachers here at Saint Anne, and in the parochial system overall, earn substantially less than their public school counterparts. With that in mind, especially during the Christmas season, we believe it is important to honor our school faculty and staff for their dedication to academic excellence and devotion to Catholic education.
We hope that you prayerfully consider participating and showing your appreciation for our wonderful Saint Anne School faculty and staff. Online donations may be made
here or a check, payable to Saint Anne Teacher Appreciation Fund, may be mailed/dropped off at the school
through Wednesday, December 14. The Christmas gift will be given to our teachers and staff prior to the Christmas break.
Sincerely,
The Saint Anne School Advisory Board
Hayde Federighi Chair

News from our Music Instructor
Dear Parents,
As the seasons begin to change we begin to prepare for the months and celebrations ahead. It is in the spirit of the changing seasons that I am writing this letter to provide you with some information about our upcoming Christmas Concert on
Monday December 19th at 7:00pm in the church.
Each student from grades 1st through 8th will have a part in this Christmas Concert and will be expected to attend and participate. The students in each grade level will sing seasonal songs and share their unique musical gifts with you, displaying a wonderful array of their musical skills.
We have begun preparing for this special musical event in music class and I have informed the students that they are required to participate.
The only way they can be excused from this commitment is with a written letter from their parent explaining their conflict.
Your children may wear their holiday attire or dress clothes, no jeans, or gym shoes, and will be asked to report to their homeroom classrooms at 6:30pm on the night of the performance.
Here at St. Anne we strongly encourage active participation in the arts. This concert is a wonderful opportunity for all of our children to experience performing in a formal concert setting and to have the chance to showcase their talents in front of an encouraging audience. Year after year this concert continues to be a wonderful experience for all of our students and a wonderful way to usher in the Christmas season.
Thank you,
Ms. Larson

News from our Operation Warm, Fuzzy & Fun Team
16 Year Anniversary
Operation Warm, Fuzzy & Fun
November 28 - December 2
Dear Saint Anne School Parent,
The month of December servant leadership habit will focus on Habit #3: Put First Things First. In the spirit of St. Nicholas who gave to those in need, students will learn how to "Put Others First," as they carry out our school-wide service project tradition for the 16th year Operation Warm, Fuzzy and Fun.
We begin with the end in mind (Habit #2) to warm the hearts and spirits of children who may be cold, lonely, or forgotten as the holidays approach and the weather turns cold. In the last fifteen years we have made Christmas warmer for over 7500 children and we hope to top the 8000 mark with this year's donation.
Each Saint Anne family is asked to purchase a new warm, "Blanket Sleeper" (that's the kind with the feet and zipper) of any size, (infant, toddler, or larger) and a soft, fuzzy stuff animal. The "fun" factor of the operation will include toys beyond stuff animals like games, legos, coloring books, etc for a cause that is close to their hearts.
Please send items to school during the week of November 28
th - December 2nd. A collection box will be placed in each classroom and all donations will be picked up at the end of the week. Donations will be going to several women and children shelters, Catholic Charities and hospitals. See the "Operation Warm, Fuzzy, and Fun" display in the main hallway for more information.
The students are excited to get started on our school-wide project. It is our hope to make a difference for many children this Christmas.
Middle school students interested in helping must complete and return this permission slip
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
HAPPY GIVING!

Living Christmas Gospel
As we have in previous years, we would like to have our 2nd-4th grade parish children present the Christmas story as a "living gospel" at the
2:30 PM mass on Christmas Eve. In order to do this, we need at least two adult coordinators.
The coordinators' responsibilities will be to assign roles, costumes, and props, and walk the children through the script at rehearsal. This is a very simple presentation, with no spoken parts to learn.The liturgy office provides support through the scripts and access to the props and costumes, as well as getting a "dress rehearsal" on the calendar. The time and date of the rehearsal can be set by your schedule, pretty much any day of the week of
December 18 that works for you, probably again between
11-1pm, unless you have a better idea. Closer to the actual Christmas Eve event is better.
Parents or others who would like to take this project on should call or
email Rory in the liturgy office 847-620-3064. VIRTUS training from the Archdiocese is a requirement for at least one coordinator on the team.
Note: This is not (yet) a request for participants. A message about that, and rehearsal times, will be announced next week after coordinators have been designated. Thank you!
