Help Save Our School!
As you know, we have been tasked by the Archdiocese to raise $150,000 very quickly to keep St. Ann School open beyond this school year. After #GivingTuesday, our total has now reached $51,000 in pledges and donations. Help us keep that positive momentum going!
To help show our great appreciation, donors of at least $100 will receive St. Ann pocket hand sanitizers, and $1,000+ donors will receive St. Ann beverage tumblers. Please talk with your family and friends, and pray over how you will participate. Ask grandparents and friends to go in on a pledge with you. Check at work if there is a corporate matching program to double your donation. Coming into the end of the year, many people are looking for additional charitable contributions to make for tax purposes--tell them your family's St. Ann story. The full letter may be accessed here if you wish to share it, or you may request additional copies in the office.
Donations may be made by returning the pledge form,
by texting ANGEL to 847-201-4236,
via PayPal to sasangel@stannschoollansing.org,
Christmas Reading Party
Join us for Leaders Are Readers, our twice-monthly virtual story time. This will be our last session of the year, so break out your Christmas shirts and hats, put out the cookies, and pour a big glass of milk! The link to join will be emailed that afternoon. This week, we enjoyed hearing from Mrs. Summerrise and four student readers (see photos below). Would your child like to read? Or do you or someone else you know want to be a guest reader? Interested readers should email Mrs. Rivas with the book you would like to read: RRivas@stannschoollansing.org.
Are You Sending in Your Stracks Receipts? Please Ask Others to Save Them for You Too!
Collect Strack & VanTil Food Market register receipts dated between September 1 and March 1 to help St. Ann earn FREE educational rewards! Every classroom has a Collection Envelope, and we will be tallying the value of the receipts turned in. The class that brings in the most will win a prize! Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays are a great time to be collecting receipts since so many people shop for their feasts!

Nominate Your #SchoolHero Today!
We love our Catholic schools’ employees. Teachers, leaders and support staff have worked tirelessly over the summer and the start of our school year to bring exceptional in-person and remote learning to families during this unprecedented time. To recognize their fantastic work, the Office of Catholic Schools is excited to introduce the #SchoolHero program. We’ll highlight the educators and staff who have gone above and beyond in order to ensure a safe and productive learning environment through social media and the web. All school employees and families can nominate a school hero by completing a brief online form.
Did you know your purchases can make a difference? Don't forget to shop through our AmazonSmile link every time! AmazonSmile donates to St. Ann when you do your shopping at smile.amazon.com/ch/36-2601098. And if you purchase Amazon gift cards through the St. Ann TRIP program, you will also get money back toward your tuition!
