Crusader Connection

April 12, 2024

Dear St. Anne Catholic School Parents:

 

THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to our Gala Co-Chairs, Mrs. Klutter, Mrs. Hernandez, and Mrs. Sparks, our Development Director, Mrs. Minch, and all of our volunteers whose hard work and dedication made this year’s All that Glitters Gala an evening to remember. It was a beautiful testament to the strong commitment of our families to Catholic education. We appreciate our investors, donors, sponsors, patrons, underwriters, and guests who all contributed to the success of the event.

 

On Monday, April 15th, at 6:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall we will have our Smart Families Shaping Souls Family Night. During Family Night, you will create your own Family Code, a cornerstone in reinforcing our dedication to guiding our children through the complexities of modern life, which encompasses far more than just smartphone usage. Click here to RSVP.

 

We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to all our dedicated volunteers to join us for a special event: the Volunteer Appreciation Brunch on Wednesday, April 24th , right after mass in the Parish Hall. Our school thrives because of the selfless dedication and support of our volunteers. Whether it's helping out in classrooms, organizing events, or lending a hand wherever needed, your contributions are invaluable and deeply appreciated.

The Volunteer Appreciation Brunch is our way of saying a heartfelt "thank you" to each and every one of you for your tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to our school community. Please click here to RSVP for the brunch.

 

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to ensure that you don't miss out on any of the exciting events and activities planned for our students. The calendar of events is located in the Crusader Connection. From our book fair to spring play to sports contests to recognition ceremonies and graduation celebrations, there are numerous opportunities for our students to showcase their talents and accomplishments. We encourage you to mark your calendars and make arrangements to attend these special occasions.



Whether it's cheering on our sports teams, applauding our performers at the spring play, or celebrating student achievements, your support and participation mean a great deal to our students and staff. We look forward to seeing you on campus.

 

 

Have a blessed weekend!

 

With Gratitude,

 

Kendall Shamas

Dear St. Anne Parents,


THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!


Our All that Glitters Gala was a tremendous success! It was an amazing evening of fellowship and fundraising. The accounting is still in process, but I am confident that we will achieve our goal.


Thank you to all who sponsored, donated, volunteered and attended the Gala. We would not have been able to accomplish what we did without you. Special thanks to the co-chairs, Kelsey Clutter, Jackie Hernandez and Melanie Sparks for their dedication and commitment to the success of the event. I am grateful for their energy and positivity throughout the planning and execution of this beautiful evening. I am humbled by the generosity of our community and eternally grateful for your support. We are blessed to have such an amazing community at St. Anne.


Thank you for your support.


Have a blessed day,
