LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL

The month of December has been filled with the blessings of Advent and the wonders of Christmas. We kicked off the Advent season with our beautiful Elementary Christmas program featuring our 1^st through 5^th graders and our middle school bell choir. Our Advent by Candlelight was a beautiful night focused on the waiting of Advent. We are so grateful to our inspirational speaker, Therese Abib and talented artist, Evelyn Mora. Thank you to Mrs. Westlake and all our volunteers who made this evening so special.

Congratulations to our Spelling Bee winners. We are so proud of your accomplishment and look forward to your success at the Archdiocesan level. The students enjoyed having St. Nicholas visit and doing their shopping at the Altar Rosary Society sale. It’s always fun to see all the wonderfully decorated Gingerbread Houses.

Our 5^th graders attended Camp Kappe exploring the wonders of creation and learning how to be good stewards of the earth. Our 8^th graders visited the Alley Theatre to see the play A Christmas Carol.

Mrs. Jones and our mass and bell choir participated in the Frassati Lessons & Carols performance. It was a beautiful musical celebration of the Advent season. Our kindergarten through 2^nd grade participated in Christmas Around the World on Thursday learning about other cultures and traditions. Thank you to all of our room parents and parent volunteers who assisted with this day. The pre-K and Kindergarten Christmas performance was a heart-warming send off for Christmas break. The class parties hosted by the PTO left the students filled with joy and excitement for Christmas.

We want to thank everyone for the generosity shared during the holidays. We have received such wonderful goodies, treats, notes, gifts, prayers, etc. All are reminders of how blessed we are to be a part of the St. Anne Catholic School community. We are looking forward to the many blessings that the new year will bring.

May the season of Advent continue to be blessed for you and your family! Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all!

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas, Ed. D

Principal
