Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

The month of October is flying by! Congratulations to all our students on a wonderful 1^st quarter. We are very proud of all their efforts and accomplishments. It was great to see everyone wearing pink yesterday in support of our Booster Club Pink Out. Congratulations to all of our Crusader athletes on a great fall sports season. Our soccer team won their last game of the regular season, as did both the JV and Varsity volleyball teams. The Varsity volleyball team is undefeated and headed to the play-offs. Our football team plays their last game tomorrow - Go Crusaders!

A huge thank you to the Dads Club for all the work they did around the campus. They fixed potholes in the parking lot, assembled furniture, completed installation of our new sign and more. We are very grateful for their willingness to help in any and all ways.

Sunday is the Parish Fall Festival. It is a great opportunity to have some fun, food, and fellowship. I hope that you will all be able to attend. We appreciate all the parents who have volunteered to help with festival preparations and work at the festival. Our Dads Club is a major contributor to the festival, securing ice donations and running the beverage booth. The school has purchased a St. Anne level sponsorship and contributed a basket to the silent auction that includes a $500 tuition credit – be sure to bid on that one!

Next week we are looking forward to parent teacher conferences on Monday and our half day STREAM Day on Friday.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas

St. Anne School celebrates Veteran’s Day 2021!!

The students of St. Anne will be celebrating all veterans on Wednesday, November 10^th, at the school Mass at 8:30 am. We would like to honor those who have served our country and helped provide for our freedom with a Veteran’s Day Celebration.

To honor veterans and allow the students to see those who served and gave so much to our country, we will have Veteran’s Wall of Honor display in the hall by the library. We ask that you bring your photos of those family members who have served in the armed forces. Give them to your homeroom teacher or Mrs. Ross in the library and they will be displayed on the wall. Make sure your name is taped onto the back, along with the name of the person you are honoring, and how they are related to the student (i.e. grandfather, father, mother, aunt, etc.). Pictures due date Friday, November 5th to be included in special presentation.

Please invite any family member or friend who has served in the armed forces to attend our annual Veteran’s Day Celebration on Wednesday, November 10, 2021. The celebration begins with Mass in the church at 8:30 a.m., followed by a reception in the library.
