Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

We have had a fantastic week on campus. Our Go Texan Day was a wonderful event. We started our day with a pep rally celebrating school spirit. The rest of the day was spent roping, barrel racing, singing, crafting, and learning about horsemanship. A huge thank you to Mrs. Sparks and Mrs. Gonzalez for making this such a special day for us. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers. It’s events like these, when we gather as a family, that highlight what is so special about our St. Anne community.

Thank you for supporting Steps for Students. We had 100% of our staff and 39% of our students participate. We raised over $12,000 of our $25,000 goal. There is still time to donate.

Two gala parties are in the books! There is still time to register for upcoming parties. Check out the website to see what’s available. Raffle tickets are still on sale. Be sure to take a chance on an amazing trip. You can donate to the gala auction baskets using our Amazon registry here and Target registry here.

Planning and work for the 2022-2023 school year is well underway. New student screenings take place tomorrow. We have openings in multiple grade levels so spread the word. We have had tours every day this week, there is a lot of interest in our school.

Monday is our staff retreat day, please pray for us as we gather together focused on our mission and strengthening our faith.

Wishing everyone a blessed weekend.

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas

We are so thrilled to be able to give back to them in such a beautiful way! 100% of the proceeds of our admission ticket and raffle will be donated straight to Loving Choice. We will leave our kids behind for the night, throw on a fun wig, drink some (or lots) of wine & give back to a beautiful cause!

Your prayers are essential to support those who nurture our children in all of the programs and activities provided by our school. The traveling crucifix is a school –wide effort to pray for vocations and our students, families, teachers, staff members, and volunteers, as they engage their daily work in education.

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.
