REMINDER:

THANKSGIVING BREAK:

November 25th-29th

Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families,

As we approach this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many blessings we share as part of our St. Anne community. Your partnership, support, and love enrich the lives of our students and create a nurturing environment where faith and learning flourish.

Last week, we gathered to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation in the armed forces. Our Veterans Day celebration was a meaningful reminder of the sacrifices made by these heroes to protect our freedoms. We are thankful to the veterans in our community who joined us for this special event and to all who helped make it memorable.

We were delighted to welcome our beloved grandparents and special friends to campus for Grandparents Day. It was heartwarming to see so many grandparents come together to share in the lives of their grandchildren, creating memories filled with smiles, laughter, and love. A special thank you goes out to Mrs. DeLeon and all our parents who worked tirelessly to make this such a memorable celebration for our grandparents. Your efforts truly made the day extraordinary, and we are deeply grateful for your dedication and support.

This year, we are honored to celebrate 40 years of Catholic education at St. Anne Catholic School. Through God’s grace and will, St. Anne has not only flourished but has become a beacon of faith, learning, and community. We are deeply thankful for the generations of families, educators, and supporters who have contributed to our mission of forming disciples of Christ.

As part of our celebration, we are excited to share a special video, made by former student Matthew Pena, that highlights what makes St. Anne Catholic School so unique and beloved. It captures the heart of our school—our students, families, and the faith-filled community we cherish. Please click here and take a moment to watch this tribute to our legacy and future.

As we prepare for Thanksgiving, let us keep our focus on the blessings of family, community, and faith. At St. Anne, we are grateful for the opportunity to walk this journey with you, forming disciples of Christ and shaping the hearts and minds of our children.

May your Thanksgiving be filled with joy, love, and countless reasons to give thanks.

With love and appreciation,

Dr. Kendall Shamas

Principal
