Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families,
Letter from Principal Shamas
We would like to thank everyone for making the startup of the new school year a great success. It's wonderful to have our students and families back on campus. It's great to see our theme of JOY being lived out each day.

It was wonderful to see so many parents at our PTO information sessions this week. We had a great turnout on Tuesday for 4th-8th grade Parent Information Night! We're looking forward to Pre-K through 3rd grade Parent Information Night next Tuesday. 

Reverence is our character trait for September. It is showing honor or respect, especially to something or someone sacred or holy. Reverence is especially important when we are in prayer, attend Mass, are in the presence of the clergy or religious or when we are on holy ground. Did you know that our school is built on holy ground? As part of St. Anne parish our school is a holy place. We are called to show honor and respect for our building and grounds as well as every student, staff member or visitor to our campus.
 
The fall sports season is well underway. Be sure to check the calendar for our home games. We look forward to seeing everyone on campus to cheer on our Crusaders.

Have a blessed weekend!

Only by His Grace,
Kendall Shamas
Principal

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
