Track Suit - Thursday, January 19

Wear your favorite track suit/sweat suit to help kick off Steps for Students!

(see handbook for out of uniform guidelines)

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 11^th.

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.
