Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families, 

Spring has officially arrived! We hope you had a restful and joyful Spring Break. It’s hard to believe we are now entering the fourth and final quarter of the school year. With many exciting activities ahead, we encourage you to stay informed through the Crusader Connection, your go-to source for the latest updates and important information. 

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our 8th-grade students who recently received acceptance letters from Catholic and private high schools. We are incredibly proud of their achievements. Report cards were sent home today, and we encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher(s) with any questions or concerns. Your partnership continues to be essential to our students’ success. 

We extend our gratitude to our 8th grade parents who generously gave their time to chaperone the Washington, D.C. trip. It was truly a trip of a lifetime for our students.

A sincere thank you as well to Mr. Rider for thoughtfully planning and facilitating a meaningful retreat for our 7th graders at Camp Cho-Yeh. We are also grateful to Deacon Steve Romero for joining the retreat and leading the Liturgy of the Word and Adoration. Thank you to the parents who supported this experience by serving as chaperones. Retreats are a vital component of our Catholic education, providing students with opportunities for spiritual growth, reflection, and community.

Planning for the upcoming school year is already underway. The finalized 2025–2026 academic calendar is now available here. We are also continuing to accept applications for all grade levels for the 2025–2026 school year. Please help us spread the word about the wonderful opportunities available at St. Anne Catholic School. 

Wishing you and your family a blessed and peaceful weekend. 



Sincerely in Christ,  

Kendall Shamas Ed. D

THANK YOU to all who supported our 40^th Anniversary Rubies & Roses Gala with participation in our Kids Galas! It was fun to see our students all dressed up for the occasion. The laughter and smiles are sure to become happy memories. The kids enjoyed the opportunity to “bid” on silent auction baskets and dancing with friends.

Please join me in thanking our Kids Gala Committee chairs, Mrs. Martinez Roman and Mrs. Monterrosa. They did a fantastic job of making the event fun, with many little touches that made it special. We are blessed to have an amazing group of volunteers!
