*********************************************
At St. Ann Academy, we have planned some unique opportunities to celebrate our Catholic School community. We are proud to begin our celebration with our focus on Jesus who is the reason for all that we do each day. On Sunday, January 29th, all students and their families, no matter what grade level, are invited to join us for the 10:00 Mass. Over the past three years, this has become known as the RED Mass, named for the visual created by our students in their red plaid dress uniforms. The more students who attend in their uniforms, makes a strong statement about Catholic education lived at St. Ann Academy.
Mrs. Griffin will be reaching out to some parents and students to be ambassadors at the St. Ann Academy Open House, 12:00PM - 2:00PM. Last year's open house was quite successful and we hope for the same this year.
With Catholic Schools Week being celebrated from January 29th - February 3rd, each day we honor the people in our community.

Miss Sottile Joins the Faculty
It is my pleasure to announce the addition of Miss Sylvia Sottile to the faculty of St. Ann Academy. Miss Sottile has been hired as third grade teacher. Once Miss Sottile is finished her first week with us, a morning coffee will be announced for parents to meet her in person. I am confident that you will give her a warm St. Ann welcome.

NURSING DEPARTMENT at St. Ann
Mrs. Barbara Boston, our school nurse, will be out indefinitely. Mrs. Boston is employed by the City of Bridgeport, not St. Ann Academy. We have been fortunate that the city has made nursing services available to our school. This is not a position that I can hire for so during her time of absence, Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Marsillo will be handling the small issues that come up. We can call on the nurse at Black Rock School if needed at any time.
If you need to leave a message about any medical issue or to ask a question, please leave it on the school phone for Mrs. Marsillo, not on the line dedicated for Mrs. Boston.
When leaving messages of any type for either Mrs. Griffin or Mrs. Marsillo, please identify yourself and your child's name and grade, before the message. This will enable us in responding to you. Thank you for your understanding.
