Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

Christmas Break is here! It’s amazing how fast time flies. It has been a wonderful year and we have accomplished so much already. We see and feel God's presence with us each and every day. Our mission is evident in all that we do. From the Christmas program our Early Childhood classes presented today to the plethora of gifts we donated to Catholic Charities and those our NJHS students presented to their sponsor family, the spirit of giving is alive and well in our building. Sunday marks the 4th week of Advent and we are all anxiously awaiting Christmas and the celebration of Christ's birth, our greatest gift of all.

We want to thank everyone for the generosity shared during the holidays. We, along with the members of our faculty and staff have received such wonderful goodies, treats, notes, gifts, prayers, etc. All are reminders of how blessed we are to be a part of the St. Anne Catholic School community. The new year brings the opportunity to start fresh, to make resolutions that make us better people, and to live out our call to be disciples of Christ. We are all looking forward to the spring semester and what 2022 will bring. May God's blessings be abundant through the remainder of Advent, Christmas and the New Year!

Blessings,

Kendall Shamas
