Happy New Year!

From the Desk of Principal Shamas:

January 7 2022

Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

Happy 2022! We hope you enjoyed the holidays and spent quality time with family and friends. We look forward to the spring semester and all the blessings and JOY it will bring. Everyone is refreshed and ready to take on the New Year. Our halls are buzzing with excitement about our new playground construction being underway. We hope to have construction complete by the end of the month.

The end of January brings our annual celebration of National Catholic Schools Week, which begins on January 31. Each day of the first week of February will have a different theme and activities. Through these activities, we focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. We will be hosting an open house on Wednesday, February 2^nd for prospective families to visit our campus. Please help us spread the good news about our school and invite your friends to stop by between 10am and 2pm, or 4:30 – 6pm.

STEPS for Students is an annual archdiocesan wide fundraiser that happens immediately following Catholic Schools Week. It’s a 5K run/walk event held downtown. This year it will be held on February 12^th. Our goal is to have 100% participation in this event. Almost all of the funds raised by our students come directly back to our school, so it is a great way to support our school. You can register for STEPS for Students by clicking HERE. Please be sure to choose St Anne School – Tomball when you register.

Report cards have been distributed via email. We are so proud of our students and their accomplishments. Our students are resilient and persevere. They truly reflect the hope that we all have in the future.

After a long holiday, we expect the number of COVID-19 cases to increase. Please continue to follow the protocols and guidelines that have been put in place. The CDC has updated the quarantine guidelines, which were emailed on Monday. If you have any questions, please call the school or email our nursing staff at clinic@sacst.org.

We are filled with JOY that the new year has begun!

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas

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 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.
