Dear St. Anne Parents,

Everyone was sent the information and date for this year's Casino Royale Night - April 9. The committee are working hard to come up with great auction items and baskets that will appeal to everyone. Corporations can be a generous source of funding or gifting for auctions. Apple, Google, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, and others set aside money to donate to non-profits such as our school. Could I ask you to please see if you can ask the company (large or small) or corporation that you work for to consider making a cash donation, sponsoring a game table ($250.00 / table), or donating an item to our Casino Royale? Their donation can be totally written off since our school is a 501 (c) 3 corporation. Our tax id # is 94-1156680. Receipts will be give to all donors. It would be much appreciated if you could approach your company's finance office by the end of NEXT WEEK about donating to our event.

If you or they have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call or email me with their question. Thanks so much.

Tickets are on sale now! Be sure to go to this website to purchase your tickets and find out more about this fun evening.

After two years, we are finally able to take our seventh and eighth graders for a week to Washington D.C. - April 4-8. This trip is always a highlight of the 7th and 8th grade. In addition to the cost of the trip, there is an additional cost not included in the trip package-baggage cost. Nowadays, if you bring a toothbrush on to the airplane, they want to charge you extra. This fundraiser will help to pick up some of the baggage cost of the trip. The students and I thank you for your support.

We welcome Samuel Raymond Elliott, brother to Madeline and Natalie, to our school family. He didn’t waste any time in the lunar new year, arriving like a “tiger” at 3:21am on February 1st, weighing 9lbs, 4oz! Congratulations to all the Elliotts.

We are ready to offer a four week in-person summer program for students entering Kindergarten through sixth grade in the fall. The dates of the program would be June 13 - July 8. I need to get an approximate number of students who would be interested in coming to the program BEFORE we continue with the planning. The day would be, as before, 8:00 - 1:00 for academics or 8:00 - 5:00 for full day students which would include arts, sports, and games, in the afternoon session. If you would be interested in having your child/children attend, please fill out the form below.
