You still have time to order TRIP gift cards for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, and your Christmas shopping and entertainment needs! Our last order before break goes in on Monday morning, comes home on Thursday, so be sure to ask your friends and family if they need anything. We can accept third-party checks with your order, so get your people on board, and watch those tuition credits grow. See our complete list here! If you've never ordered before, be sure to also print out a registration form and send in with your order.

9:00 a.m. & 7:00 p.m. in CHURCH
Our faculty and students will attend the 9:00 a.m. service, and you are welcome to join us! If the morning hour is not convenient though, please come to the 7:00 p.m. Reconciliation.
Christmas Program

Our music teacher, Mr. Henry Johnson, has been working diligently with the students to present a program that will surely put everyone in a Christmas mood! Please have the children wear Sunday best (no jeans; Christmas dresses/sweaters are encouraged), and arrive between 6:00 and 6:15 to sit with their classmates. The show will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m.
Vote for Your Favorite Door! #deckthedoors '18
Less than one week remains in our annual #deckthedoors competition--vote for your favorite door by liking its photo in the Facebook album! The teacher with the winning door will win something special for her classroom, so be sure to spread the word and share the album! Voting will close on December 20.
Our Teachers Need Us!
Pajama Day & Early Dismissal
Please wear your snuggliest pajamas to school on Friday! We will enjoy a milk and cookies snack compliments of our HSA, and dismissal will be at 11:30 a.m. A fun sendoff to Christmas Break!
Tax Credit Scholarship Matching Gift Program

Tax Credit Scholarship Information Session
TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 8:00 a.m. & 7:00 p.m. in EXTENDED DAY
Please come to find out how you may be able to receive a scholarship to cover up to 100% of tuition and fees for the 2019-20 school year! We will help you understand how the Illinois State Tax Credit Scholarships work and how to go about applying. Please note that even if you are already receiving a scholarship this year, all families must reapply every year to be considered for a state scholarship. Visit our website for a letter of explanation and a TCS fact sheet.
The dates have been set for the state scholarship application process to open:
Empower Illinois - Tuesday, January 15, 2019, 7:00 P.M.
Big Shoulders - Tuesday, January 22, 2019 (time to be determined)
It is recommended that families apply with BOTH Scholarship Granting Organizations. On application days, St. Ann School will open its doors to welcome parents who do not have reliable internet access at home or at work. We will have Chromebooks and personnel available to assist. The time stamp is critically important, so we encourage you to submit your application from a location where you have the fastest internet speed.
Love Those Box Tops!
