Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:
 
Happy New Year! We hope you all enjoyed the holidays and spent quality time with family and friends. We look forward to the spring semester and all the blessings it will bring. Everyone is refreshed and ready to take on the new year.
 
Our school is continuing to grow. Thank you to all for sharing the mission and the good news about St. Anne Catholic School. We welcomed eight new students this week.
 
The end of January brings our annual celebration of National Catholic Schools Week, which begins on January 27th with our Chili Cook-off. We encourage you to participate in the Chili Cookoff – register your team HERE. Each day of Catholic Schools Week we will have a different theme and activities. Through these activities, we focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. We will be hosting an open house on Wednesday, February 1st or prospective families to visit our campus. Please help us spread the good news about our school and invite your friends to stop by between 10am and 2pm, or 4:30 – 6pm. 
 
STEPS for Students is an annual archdiocesan wide fundraiser that happens immediately following Catholic Schools Week. It’s a 5K run/walk event held downtown. This year it will be held on Saturday, February 11th. Our goal is to have 100% participation in this event, whether that means attending the event or hitting the snooze, which means registering for the event but not attending. All of the funds raised by our students who solicit donations come directly back to our school, with almost 100% of the registration fee also coming back to St. Anne, so it is a great way to support our school. You can register for STEPS for Students by clicking HERE. Please be sure to choose St Anne School – Tomball when you register. A Sponsorship Calendar was sent home before Christmas break, Click HERE if you need another one.
 
Our Don’t Stop Believin’ Gala planning is well underway – mark your calendar for April 15th. This week we launched early bird ticket sales. Purchase your discounted ticket HERE. Our early bird sale will end on January 31st. We will be releasing class signup party information in the coming week. All signup parties will be held before the Gala.
 
Report cards have been distributed via email. We are so proud of our students and their accomplishments.
