Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families,
Letter from Principal Shamas
Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

It’s hard to believe we are finishing our 3rd week of the school year. Time sure flies when you are having fun! The year is off to a great start thanks to the support from our wonderful community. The classrooms are filled with learning and laughter.

We had a great turn-out at Parent Information Night for our Pre-K through 3rd grade. We hope you enjoyed learning more about our teachers and the great plans they have for the school year. Congratulations to the soccer and the football teams for their awesome games this week. Go Crusaders!

The month of September is filled with great activities in the library. The book fair will be the week of September 13th and the Book Character Parade will be September 14th. I can’t wait to see all the wonderful costumes as we celebrate reading school wide. Grandparents’ Day will be on September 17th. Remember to share this information with grandparents or a special friend. We can’t wait to spend time with all our grandparents, who are so influential in the lives of our students.

Be sure to mark your calendars for our first Homecoming on September 30th. We hope everyone comes out for some food, fellowship, and fun.

Back to school forms are due. Please check FACTS Family Portal to be sure all forms are complete.

At mass this weekend, we will hear in all three readings the message “’Ephphatha’----that is, ‘be opened’” (Mark 7:34). Be open to the goodness and graciousness of the Lord. Let us remember to be open and to find God’s goodness daily.

Wishing everyone a safe and blessed Labor Day weekend!

With great JOY,
Kendall Shamas
Principal

CARLINE REMINDERS

Our students are now used to the afternoon routine and our carline has improved. A couple of reminders –
  • parents please remain in your vehicle for both morning and afternoon carline
  • our faculty and staff are here to assist with getting the students in and out of the cars
  • if you have students in pre-k and kindergarten, please use the line closest to the school building so the little ones don’t have as far to walk.
  • after Labor Day, all students should be dropped off via carline.
Please review the Arrival and Dismissal procedures so you are prepared for a safe drop off or pick up. (here).
Golf!
Our golf after school program will begin on Sept 14th. Register directly on the www.playtga.com/northouston website.

Hello from the Fieldhouse!
 It was a great week in sports!
We kicked off games in soccer, football, and volleyball. Thank you to all the parents that have stepped up to assist with concession stands for the games and just being great cheerleaders for all the kids. It is good to see the fellowship on the sidelines and stands. This week has been what St Anne is about; tradition, fellowship, and support.
