St. Anne School Family Newsletter HAPPY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS’ WEEK

January 28, 2015 Dear St. Anne Parents, Over the years, studies have proven that Catholic school students for the most part are better prepared academically than students attending public schools. Academic preparation is extremely important, but two other areas of preparation are sometimes more important. Faith formation and service are the other two areas of concentration here at St. Anne School. Students need to realize that God is to be a part of their everyday life. They need to know that they are never alone and that God is always there with them to help them. Students also need to realize that our world needs everyone to share their talents in service to others. It is through working together that our world can be turned into a better place for everyone. Catholic Schools’ Week, then, is a time to celebrate our shared belief in the goodness and love of God, our many academic achievements, and share the many gifts that God has bestowed on us with others. Thank you, parents, for your continued trust and support helping to educate your children/our students in the Catholic tradition….something that St. Anne School has been doing since 1920. Thank You The school teachers and staff wish to extend a sincere thank you for the delicious Staff Appreciation Lunch SAPTO served us yesterday. Special thanks to the event coordinators, Beverly and Keith Perea and Tatiana Holland. Delicious!!! Grazie!
