Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

Spring Break is finally here! We welcome our 7th and 8th graders back to campus after their overnight field trips. We know they had an enriching joy-filled experience that they will fondly remember for years to come.  

Our Theatre Under the Stars Gala is only 6 weeks away. Be sure to get your tickets as we are filling up. It is going to be a fun evening of fellowship, food, and fundraising. Invitations went home last week in your youngest child’s backpack. Please let us know if you didn’t find yours and we will get another one to you. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, visit the Gala website here.  

Just a reminder- safety is always our number one priority. All students should be released from vehicles that are at or have passed the blue cones during morning drop off. We want to have all students out of cars and on the sidewalk before vehicles begin moving to depart the parking lot. 

Good luck to our 8th grade students who are anxiously awaiting acceptance letters from Catholic and private high schools over Spring Break. We are still accepting applications for new students for the 2022-223 school year, so spread the word!

Those students who raised $100 or more for Steps for Students are eligible to participate in spirit dress for the week beginning Monday, March 21. Please check the student handbook for spirit dress guidelines. Coach for the day and the snowball fight will also take place the week we return from Spring Break. 

As we continue our Lenten Journey, we are invited to meditate on the Joy of Christianity and continue the Lenten disciplines of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.  

We hope that you all enjoy Spring Break next week. When we return, it will be a rush to summer. 

Have a restful and blessed spring break!  

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas

we missed you on campus this week.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS :

St. Anne Catholic Church 6:30pm English | 7:30pm Spanish

Way of the Cross - Via Crucis 2022

St. Anne Catholic Community invites you to participate in the prayer of the Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent. The Stations of the Cross are a 14-step Catholic devotion that commemorates Jesus Christ's last day on Earth as a man, beginning with His condemnation. The stations are commonly used as a mini pilgrimage as we move from station to station. At each station, we recall and meditate on a specific event from Christ's last day. Specific prayers are recited, then we move to the next station until all 14 are complete.
