Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families,
The summer has flown by, and we are already counting down to the start of the 2021-2022 school year. Whether you are a returning family or new to our school this year, it is our JOY to welcome you to our school community. We are looking forward to another incredible and enriching school year continuing our mission of cultivating the whole child in faith, knowledge, and charity, preparing our students to proclaim and live the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. We invite all members of our school community to join us in embracing and living our theme of JOY as we share the light of Christ, working together to build the Kingdom of God.
I hope that your summer has been safe, relaxing, and filled with time for family, friends and fun. Faculty and staff are busy preparing for the opening of school. Our office team is registering new families, ordering needed materials, and updating student files. Our hard working and conscientious custodian spent the entire summer thoroughly cleaning and refreshing the facility. Our wonderful PTO is gearing up to welcome families, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer other exciting events and programs.
Each year brings positive changes, including new additions to our staff. We are delighted to welcome several new faculty members: Mr. Mark Breckell who will serve as our Athletic Director and PE teacher; Mrs. Alexis Jacobs who will teach middle school social studies; Mr. Jeremy Silvernail, our Religion Coordinator and middle school religion teacher, Mrs. Julia Cruz teaching first grade, Mrs. Angela Holden teaching second grade, and Ms. Kathy Graff, our learning support teacher. Please join me in welcoming our new faculty members. We wish Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Felchak, and Mrs. Burnette the best as they leave St. Anne to pursue other endeavors.
We will have our Meet the Teacher on Tuesday, August 10th from 4:00-5:30 pm for Pre-K through 8th grade. It is an opportunity for families and students to stop in anytime from 4:00-5:30 pm to meet their teacher and see their classroom. All new families are invited to a new family welcome reception on August 10th, prior to Meet the Teacher, at 3:15 pm in the gym. Our first day of school will be August 11th, and it is a noon dismissal day.
We are looking forward to working with you and your child this school year as we bring our theme of JOY to life. Look for more information in the coming weeks regarding campus improvements, new staff, and COVID protocols for the 2021-2022 school year. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, we are looking forward to a JOY-filled school year, partnering with you.
Thank you for choosing St. Anne Catholic School.
With great JOY,
Kendall Shamas
Principal
