Dear Families,
Come one, come all to the St. Anne School Open House on Sunday, January 29, 2023 following the 10am Mass! The Youth Choir will be singing at Mass and teachers will all process in and sit together. Students who attend Mass in their school uniform will receive a Free Dress Pass from their teacher when they come over to the Open House! We appreciate Celtic pride as we share our wonderful school program with the community.
We are excited to show off the school! Student’s work will be up in classrooms and around the school. It is a great opportunity to visit your student’s classroom and have them tell you what they have been working on. We will have middle school Student Ambassadors giving tours, teachers will be in their classrooms and our Parent Association Chairs will be in the library. Come learn about all the activities in the school. Please invite family and friends who might be interested in attending the school.
