Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

It’s hard to believe that we are already half-way through January. You know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. We have had a great week filled with joy on campus. Construction of our new playground is almost complete. We are excited to have a brand-new play structure that students in all grade levels at our school can use. The students are demonstrating the virtue of patience as they watch the construction process, anxiously awaiting the day when they are able to start using it. Congratulations to all the winners whose artwork will be entered into the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Art Contest. We have many budding artists and we are excited to share their masterpieces with a larger audience.

Registration for the 2022-2023 school year opens on Friday, January 28th for returning families, and on Friday, February 4^th for new families. Once again, we will utilize Continuous Enrollment, which re-enrolls all current students automatically. Our 2022-2023 Tuition and Fee Schedule will be posted to our website and sent out to all families following approval by our School Advisory Board, and prior to the beginning of the enrollment period.

We're all looking forward to National Catholic Schools Week. We will kick-off the week on Friday, January 28^th with our Chili Cook Off at 6:30pm in the gym. Please see the flyer below for details about entering and attending the chili cook off. Tickets to Our Theater Under the Stars Gala are now on sale. Take advantage of Early Bird pricing and purchase your tickets before the end of January. We also have raffle tickets available for a trip to the destination of your choice – either Miami, Nashville, New Orleans or Orlando. More information can be found in the Crusader Connection and on our website here.

We are grateful to all for the support that we received during the 2020-2021 school year. Please click here to view our Recognition Report.

Don’t forget to sign up for STEPS for Students! The registration fee increases by $10 after January 31^st. Our goal is to have 100% participation – I know we can get there!

Enjoy the long weekend.

Sincerely in Christ,

Kendall Shamas
