Winning Doors!
May 2, 2023
Dear Families,
At our Prayer Assembly this week Mr Haffey talked with us about how even though relationships are not specifically math problems, they can be improved by making what he called love deposits–kind acts for another that make their day a little easier. He invited students to make deposits of love for their parents this week! This week is auction week and our parents are working hard to make this incredibly important fundraising event a success. They will benefit from a little extra love! For all of us, cultivating a generous spirit of kindness and support helps grow and enrich our strong community!
It is time for everyone to cut footloose for the St. Anne School “Footloose” Auction!!
- Online Auction goes live at 7pm tonight!!!! Be sure to AUTOBID!
- The decorated classroom doors were FANTASTIC this year! At today’s Prayer Assembly, two of our auction chairs announced the winners of the classroom door decorating contest.
- Fifth Grade: For a creative, multimedia event!
- Sixth Grade: For an interactive door with QR code that takes you to a fun 80’s music playlist!
