Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:
The fall weather has re-energized all of us! It’s been another busy week on campus. Mrs. O’Connor, our school counselor, has been visiting all classrooms and teaching guidance lessons. During our Academic PLC meetings this week, our teachers took a deep dive into our 2020-2021 nationally normed testing results to see where our students are excelling and areas for improvement to guide teaching and learning in the classrooms. We finished up our NWEA map testing and we will share results soon. You will have the opportunity to discuss these results during Parent Teacher conferences on October 25th. At Mass on Wednesday, Father Tommy talked about missionaries and reminded us that we can all be missionaries and spread the word of God every day. Our Crusaders continue to excel in sports with big wins from our soccer and football teams. Good luck to the volleyball team with their tournament at Incarnate Word Academy and the JV soccer team with their tournament at Salem Lutheran. Go Crusaders!
It’s the time of year when our 8th graders begin discerning where they would like to attend high school. The 8th graders visited Frassati Catholic on Wednesday and on Thursday representatives from St. John XXXIII visited our campus.. Families are encouraged to attend high school open houses to make the best decision for their family. Please join us in praying for our 8th graders as they make this very important decision for their future.
Mark your calendars for all of our upcoming events! Next week, we are looking forward to spirit week and Homecoming. Each day has a special theme, see the flyer for details. Please join us for our pep rally Thursday morning at 8:30am in the gym. Our Homecoming Event is Thursday afternoon from 4:30 to 7pm. Join us as we cheer on our Crusader Soccer team, celebrate our Alumni and enjoy much needed fellowship.
October is the month of the Rosary; there is a great sense of peace felt during our prayer time together. We will be reciting a decade of the Rosary each morning during the month of October.
We invite all families to join us in prayer. Please use the following link to select a day for your family to pray the rosary. We will be praying for Peace in our families, our community, our country and our world.
Mark your calendar for our annual Living Rosary on Thursday, October 9th. Hope you will join us.
Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a blessed weekend!
Only by His Grace,
Kendall Shamas
Principal
