Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

Spirit week has been a great success! The school spirit was everywhere - from the pep rally, to the home games, to the locker decorations, to scavenger hunts, and spirit dress - the campus was filled with camaraderie and great enthusiasm. The school spirit at St. Anne Catholic School is a powerful reflection of the pride our students have in our school and our mission. Go Crusaders!!!

Congratulations to our new NJHS inductees. We are so proud of our students’ achievements.

Thank you to the Westlake, Jafari, Yarborough and Boeller family for signing up to pray the Rosary during the month of October. Please use the following link to select a day for your family to pray the rosary. We invite all families to join us in prayer.

Our Character Trait for the month of October is Respect. Respect is understanding that each of us is made in God’s image and has innate dignity. An environment of respect is one where everyone feels safe and valued. As Disciples of Christ, we are to show the world that we love others through our Christ–like words and actions. We're very proud of our students when we witness them being Christ–like to others.

Looking ahead to next week, we hope you will join us for our Living Rosary on Thursday, October 7th at 8:15 a.m. and our homecoming event which has been re-rescheduled for October 7th beginning at 4:30 pm. Come join us as we cheer on our volleyball teams and have some food, fellowship, and fun. Hope to see all of you on campus.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas

Spirit Week was full of fun! It was great to see our students display their school spirit! They went on a scavenger hunt around campus and learned about the history of our school. They also received St. Anne prayer cards and learned a little bit about St. Anne. Many of our students were too cool for school and wore their sunglasses 😎. They did a homecoming crossword puzzle or coloring sheet and enjoyed seeing our cheerleaders perform at the pep rally. We rounded out the week with ice pops at lunch.

Grades 4 – 8 did a great job decorating their lockers! The winners were:

4^th grade – Ryan Gredvig

5^th grade – Tai Huynh

6^th grade – Kinley Leonard

7^th grade – Grace Carillos

8^th grade – Maddie Connor

Unfortunately, we had to reschedule our homecoming event due to weather and last-minute cancellations. Safety is our priority – with the potential for lightening we didn’t feel it was prudent to hold the event. We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday, October 7.
