Hearts For Heat Bake Sale
They plan to sell homemade baked goods to members of our school community at a Thanksgiving bake sale during the tow days of parent-teacher conferences. This year, our bake sale will take place on Monday, Nov 25 and Tuesday, Nov 26th.
All profits from this endeavor go directly to the purchase of oil for members of our parish. Last year, we were able to provide over $700 from our bake sale to directly benefit our church family.
Thank you very much for your consideration and participation in such a worthwhile program.
St. Anna's Middle School
Winter Uniform now in effect. Make sure your child is dressed for the cold mornings. Hats,gloves/mittens suggested.
Check out the Parent/Student Handbook for information on winter uniforms:
Uniform Reminders:
- Socks should be at least covering the ankle.
- All girls : Leggings ( navy or white ) can be worn under skirts/skorts in the winter.
- Jumper and skirt hems must touch the top of the knee and “privacy shorts” are recommended underneath.
- While in the school building, students will only be allowed to wear the Navy school sweatshirt, SAS sweater or sweater vest over uniform shirts.
Thank you for your cooperation
Socks For Santa - 175 items collected so far!
The third grade students have begun our annual 2 month service project in which we will be collecting new white cotton or thermal socks or cotton underwear to be distributed to homeless shelters, women’s shelters, and the elderly of our community.
We often don’t realize or simply forget that those in need have needs other than the need for food.
It is our hope that each student will participate by bringing a small package of socks or underwear each month ( November, and December) to be collected by third grade students. All donations will be given to Montachusett Home Care for distribution to residents who live in our school community area.
A small package of socks or underwear each month is a small price to pay for knowing that the elderly in our neighborhoods are going to be warm this winter.
Please consider helping those who are in need of socks or underwear for the cold winter ahead.
Thank you!
The third grade students of St. Anna Catholic School
