Dear St. Anne Families,

It has been another busy and blessed week on campus. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigated electrical issues that led to a delayed start. We were thrilled to see so many students arrive with smiles, ready to learn, despite the shift in routine. Our faculty and staff, families, and PTO showed incredible flexibility and generosity—thank you!

A huge thank you to Coach Carpio, Mrs. Kristen Sullivan, Mrs. Melissa Huynh, the Booster Club, and all of our parent volunteers for hosting a wonderful Athletic Banquet on Tuesday. We are proud to share that every varsity team made it to the playoffs this year—go Crusaders!

It was also a joy to see so many of you at the Pre-K and Kindergarten Earth Day Picnic. We are deeply grateful for our dedicated volunteers, whom we celebrated on Wednesday at our Volunteer Appreciation Brunch.

Our 3rd Grade Wax Museum was a success—what an impressive showcase of historical knowledge and creativity! Likewise, our Kindergarten Mother's Day Tea was “tea-rrific”—a truly sweet celebration honoring our incredible moms.

Today, we were also blessed to welcome Frassati Catholic High School seniors, including some of our own alumni, who visited St. Anne to complete their Culture of Life Project. They hosted a book tour for our students, encouraging a love of reading through engaging presentations on a variety of novels.

We look forward to celebrating with you all at our 40th Anniversary Mass and celebration tomorrow! Special thanks to Mrs. Kristen Sullivan and the Booster Club, Mr. Akbar and the Dad’s Club, Mr. Courtney Blackburn and the Knights of Columbus, and Mrs. Meghan Flores and the PTO for their time, effort, and dedication in making this event a memorable one. Additionally, we are excited to host our Cheer Camp this Saturday in the gym. We can’t wait to see our future cheerleaders in action!

As we approach the final weeks of school, please continue to refer to the Crusader Connection for the most up-to-date information. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.



Sincerely in Christ,

Kendall Shamas, Ed.D Principal
