Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to our Gala Chair, Mrs. Jackie Hernandez, our Gala Committee, and volunteers whose hard work and dedication made this gala an evening to remember. It was a beautiful testament to the strong commitment of our families to Catholic education. We appreciate our donors, sponsors, patrons, underwriters, and guests who all contributed to the success of the event. The preliminary numbers are in and we exceeded our goal thanks to the love and support of our school families, friends, and parish community.

Community Helper and Career Day was a huge success. Thank you to Mrs. O’Connor for planning such a successful day. We are grateful to all of the professionals and community organizations who partnered with us to inspire the future careers of our students.

Congratulations to all of the participants in our talent show. Thank you to Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Jones for their dedication to growing the talents of our students. Our Teacher of the Day and Principal of the Day were a huge hit. I see many future St. Anne teachers.

As we race to end of the school year there are many events planned. The Crusader Connection and our website are your best avenue for up-to-date information.

Next week is teacher and staff appreciation week and we are so grateful for the faculty and staff of St. Anne Catholic School for their dedication to our mission. They truly exemplify Christian discipleship. We invite you to join us in showing our wonderful faculty and staff how grateful we are for their service to our students, families and school.

We are in the final stretch with less than a month to go until summer break. We are looking forward to a memorable and successful end to the school year.

Have a blessed weekend!

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas

We would like to extend a special thanks to our Gala Chairs, Mr. & Mrs. Chris Hernandez for their dedication and commitment to ensuring a successful event. We would also like to thank the entire Gala Committee for all their hard work. It truly was a magical evening.

2022-2023 Uniform Information

For the 2022-2023 school year we will continue to use Lands’ End for our uniforms. Our survey results indicated that there is not a preference for a supplier with a store front.

The Mass uniform changes we put in place for this school year will be mandatory for the 2022-2023 school year. This includes: knee socks for girls in all grades, cross ties for girls in all grades, dress shoes for all students. The 2022-2023 uniform guidelines are posted here on our website.

You will notice that we have updated the logo that is embroidered on our shirts to be our crest. Our 2021-2022 school year families may wear polo shirts with the SA logo through the 2023-2024 school year. All new families starting in the fall for the 2022-2023 school year will need to order their shirts from Lands’ End with the crest logo.
