Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

It’s hard to believe the school year is coming to an end. We only have 3 1/2 days to go! They say time flies when you’re having fun, and we certainly had a lot of fun this year.

Our week was filled with two memorable and joyous events, Candle Passing and 8th grade graduation. Candle passing is a beautiful tradition here at St. Anne where the outgoing 8th graders pass the torch of leadership to the rising 8th graders. We rely on our 8th graders to set the example for our younger students by being Mass buddies with our early childhood students and leading our Student Council and NJHS organizations.

Congratulations to the 35 members of the Class of 2022 on their graduation! We are grateful to Father Tommy for a beautiful mass honoring our 8th graders. We are very proud of them and know they will go on to do great things. We wish them well knowing that they are ready to go out and make a difference in the world.

Congratulations to our 2nd graders on making their First Holy Communion this weekend. First Holy Communion is a milestone event in the life of a Catholic and we are thrilled to see our 2nd grade students take the next step in their faith. We hope to see everyone out at the “Craw Dads” fundraiser on Sunday. It is sure to be a fun event with food, music and more.

Have a blessed weekend!

Only by His Grace,

Kendall Shamas, Ed.D

School Clinic Notes:

The end of the school year is upon us! If your child has medications in the clinic, please be sure to pick them up prior to Wednesday the 25th.

We prefer to keep essential/emergency meds (epi-pens, inhalers, etc.) until the last day, but non-essential medications (Tylenol, Advil, etc.) can be picked up at any time by an adult.

Medications not picked up by noon on May 26th will be discarded. Medications cannot be stored over the summer.

We hope everyone had a great year, and we hope you have a wonderful summer!

St. Anne Dad's Club Notes:

If you have not signed up to help or donate supplies, we need: Pots, burners and propane.

2022-2023 Uniform Information

For the 2022-2023 school year we will continue to use Lands’ End for our uniforms. Our survey results indicated that there is not a preference for a supplier with a store front.

The Mass uniform changes we put in place for this school year will be mandatory for the 2022-2023 school year. This includes: knee socks for girls in all grades, cross ties for girls in all grades, dress shoes for all students. The 2022-2023 uniform guidelines are posted here on our website.

You will notice that we have updated the logo that is embroidered on our shirts to be our crest. Our 2021-2022 school year families may wear polo shirts with the SA logo through the 2023-2024 school year. All new families starting in the fall for the 2022-2023 school year will need to order their shirts from Lands’ End with the crest logo.
