Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families,

We had an amazing week on campus as we celebrated Vocation Awareness Week. A special thank you to Mr. Rider for his thoughtful planning and coordination of this weeks activities. We are incredibly grateful to Sister John Paul and Sister Elizabeth Marie from Frassati Catholic High School for sharing their vocation of consecrated life. Our students also had the privilege of hearing from Deacon Clancy and Mr. Wells, who spoke about their vocations. Additionally,

Mrs. Tavares and Mr. Chambers provided meaningful insights into the vocation of marriage.

As we look ahead, we ask for your prayers for our 5th-grade students as they embark on their trip to Camp Kappe next week. It will be a wonderful opportunity for them to experience faith and fellowship in a unique setting.

Next Wednesday, we will gather for our annual Veterans Day celebration. We are honored to welcome our veterans to join us for Mass, followed by a special reception in the library to show our gratitude for their service. We hope to see many of our community members there to celebrate and give thanks.

Lastly, please note that progress reports will be sent out on Friday, November 15^th. We encourage you to review these reports and discuss them with your child as part of our shared commitment to their growth and learning.



Wishing you a blessed and restful weekend!

Sincerely in Christ,

Kendall Shamas, Ed. D

During the month of November, the 5^th grade class has been scheduled to help "Fill the Fridge" for our wonderful teachers and staff. The attached flyer has examples of snacks and drinks, but any items you would like to contribute would be greatly appreciated.

Please bring donations to the front office from now until the end of the month. You can also order on Amazon and have them delivered to the school if it is easier. 

Let's show them how much we appreciate all that they do! Thank you for your support in helping us "Fill the Fridge".
