Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

It’s been another great week here at St. Anne. We are so grateful for the opportunity to serve our students and families each day. Practice for spring sports has begun, and we are looking forward to cheering on our Crusaders! Coach Collins and Coach Breckell are hosting Crusader Field day this Sunday from 1-4pm to prepare our baseball and softball fields and the track for the start of the season. Our first softball game of the year is Monday at 4pm.

STEPS for Students is this Saturday. Thanks to everyone who has signed up to participate or support our school through STEPS for Students this year. We will have our school tent in the Catholic School Village so be sure to stop by if you are at the event. We are excited to have a large representation from our school participating. Good luck to all our runners and walkers!

On Friday we will have our Go Texan Day. We have STREAM and hands-on activities planned for our students. Students may wear their favorite western wear and/or spirit wear. Friday is a noon dismissal. We plan to provide our students with pizza on Friday to make up for our missed pizza picnic last week.

We are looking forward to Our Theatre Under the Stars Gala in April. Sign-up parties for the students begin next Tuesday, Feb 15^th with our Pre-K painting party and Friday, Feb 18^th with our 4^th grade camp out. The kids always have a great time and often say it is one of the best days of the year for them. To purchase tickets to the sign-up parties you can visit our website here. All flyers for the sign-up parties are posted there on our website and were sent home with the students last week.

Wishing everyone a blessed weekend.

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas

School Wide News:

To The St. Anne Catholic School Community,

The spirit, warmth, and fellowship of this community has comforted my family and I tremendously in the time since my husband Pat passed away. We have been nothing short of amazed at the tremendous outpouring of support and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. In our time of need, your love was exactly what helped us through many trying days. May God bless each and every one of you and your families!

SPRING SPORTS UPDATE:

It's officially Spring Sports season! Congratulations to our Girls and Boys Basketball teams as their seasons have come to an end. They both ended with so much potential for next year with athletes from 7th-5th grades.

Now, onto Spring Sports! Baseball, softball, track & field are now underway with practices scheduled for Monday 3:45-5:15 pm for all three! Family meeting scheduled at 5:30 pm in the gym for all three sports. There is still time to sign up, so if you missed the first round, have your daughter/son bring clothes and gear on Monday to join the first practice.

With the weather wreaking havoc on us this past week, the infield mix was not delivered on Friday. That being the BIGGEST thing we need for our fields, we will reschedule our field family workday for Sunday, Feb 13, between 1 pm-4 pm (well before the Super Bowl).

Here is what we will be doing

1. Sod cutting around the bases and home plate

2. Laying new dirt for bases, home plates, and mounds

3. Cutting the trees over the track

4. Repairing any holes on the track

5. Cleaning the bathrooms by the fields

6. Turning over the long jump pit

7. Edging around the track where the grass is starting to grow over.

We will need wheelbarrows, rakes, edgers, weed eaters, mowers, snips, shovels, and more. This is a great way to earn family service hours and one of the biggest family workdays on our campus. All are welcome to assist even if you do not play a sport. Many hands make light work.

Thank you all and welcome to Spring Sports!

Coaches Blanton, Breckell, & Collins

Your prayers are essential to support those who nurture our children in all of the programs and activities provided by our school.

The crucifix will be presented to your family at the conclusion of Mass. We ask that you return it to the school Mass the following Wednesday.
