Thank you again for your response to the Annual Catholic Appeal this year. Father Colin is sending out a letter this week to those still considering their gift to the ACA campaign. He is inviting you to participate in bringing the light of Christ to others through your gift. The funds pledged will support many archdiocesan-wide ministries including CYO camps. faith formation for all ages, and vocations to the priesthood. Where are we at with our parish goal? We have received gifts and pledges totaling $61,500 from the families of our parish. We are looking forward to surpassing our goal to fully fund our parish project. Keep an eye on the tracking thermometer to see our progress!

Back again, the last entertainment event of the school year. The Lower School Drama Club presented Music Man Kids. Congratulations to the 23 first-fourth graders for a spritely presentation of both the songs and clever dialogue. Stacks of compliments to St.Anne school parent, Mrs. Samantha Stack for overseeing the many parts of this project.

One tradition that has withstood the limitations of covid is the Buddies Good-By.  The first graders created portraits of their 8th grade buddies which they presented with advice for their high school careers. There were many wishes for good grades, good times and new friends plus advisories about paying attention, being on time and being nice to teachers and one caution about not getting shoved in the locker.

Another tradition which may even survive the apocalypse is the highly accomplished

St. Anne track team. There have been continuous years of trophies (check the overflowing case in Banchero) and this year was no different. Of the 13 trophies available, St. Anne athletes brought home 8. Deserving trophies in their own right are coaches Mr. Sean Haffey and Ms. Kristina Dermody.

Alumni News. Members of the 8th grade class are now officially St.Anne School alumni. Good wishes as they move on to the next phase of their education.

Not exactly new but St. Anne alum Mrs. Mary Sherman  (Class of 1969) is graduating to the next phase of her education: learning to be a retired person. Much happiness to be found there, Mrs.Sherman, but as Dorothy said to Scarecrow, “We will miss you most of all.”
