We Are St. Ann School

Queen of the May
Happy May!
May is also the month of Mary. Each morning our second graders assisted by our leaders of the school-our eighth graders lead us in a decade of the Rosary. Each bead on the Rosary is a testimony for our love of the Blessed Mother and her Son.
Happy Mothers' Day
Wishing you a day of happiness and love.
