These 40 Days...
Be sure to join us each Friday as we pray the Stations of the Cross at 1:30 p.m. in Church.
On Holy Thursday, March 24th, grades PK-8 will take a field trip to the Shrine of Christ's Passion in St. John, Indiana. We'll leave at 9 a.m. and will return around lunchtime. This is a full day of school. Permission slips will go home soon. Parents are welcome to meet us at the Shrine and walk the Stations with us.

Round Ball Food Drive: It's Time to Slam Dunk Hunger Out of our Community
Yet another proud principal moment for me: St. Ann School and Parish collected 923 items for the Lansing Food Pantry.
First grade brought in 221 (yes, 221) of those items winning our internal school's competition, bragging rights, and a tasty outdoor ice cream social with our pastor on an upcoming warm spring day. Thank you, Parents and Parishioners, for your support.
Grade 1 "Won"!

Ball in the Hall Update
Information recently went home to purchase tickets to our Ball in the Hall Extravaganza on March 5th. This is our BIG school fundraiser, so everyone's assistance in both volunteering and supporting the event is critical. The teachers and I will be there, and I know you will be, too. The children have been working on classroom auction pieces. (See picture below for grade 5's auction piece.) It's a great event; see you there.
From the Committee:
Our second annual Ball in the Hall will take place on Saturday, March 5, 2016.
WE ARE SEEKING STUFF YOU DON’T WANT!
We can accept donations of new, unused items for use in raffle baskets. Did you receive a Christmas gift not to your liking? Small appliances you’ll never use?

We can use any and all of these in our raffle baskets and would be happy to take them off your hands!
