#CSW19 Mass & Open House
SUNDAY, JANUARY 27
10:30 a.m.
We benefit all year long from the religious guidance, prayers, and support St. Ann Parish provides our school. We will celebrate at the 10:30 a.m. Mass on January 27 and ask all school families to please plan to be there. All students should be in formal school uniform and will receive a NUT card for participating (check in with your homeroom teacher before Mass, and NUT cards will be distributed on Monday). Immediately following Mass will be an Open House in the school. Please bring your friends and come and explore the kids' current classrooms, and meet your children’s teachers for next year.
Shadow Day & Open House II
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30
Bring a friend to school with you to spend the day exploring St. Ann School! Parents can register their shadows at http://bit.ly/ShadowDaySAS. We will also throw open the doors for tours from 10:00 a.m. - Noon, so please spread the word to interested families. And don’t forget our Referral Incentive Program. If you bring a friend, be sure they fill out a form indicating you referred them, and you will receive a $500 tuition credit for each family who enrolls because you brought them in! All are welcome to join us for Mass at 9:00 a.m. as well.

SAS #CSW19 School-wide Service Projects
Don't forget to send in supplies for the Humane Society, our Catholic Schools Week service project this year. Your child can turn in his or her contribution to the teacher or leave in the collection box in the Narthex after all Masses this weekend. See below for a list of needed items.
Pennies for Patients
Re-Enroll By January 31 to Get the Early $50 Fee--Re-Enrollment Goes Up to $150 on February 1!
Skating Party
SAS has been holding skating parties at the Lynwood Sport Center for over four decades now. Come join the tradition! Kids of all ages are invited; there are accommodations for even the youngest skaters. Admission is $6, and skate rentals are $2.50 (they even have learn-to-skate skates for the little ones, and "walkers" on wheels are available for $4 rental fee). Parents/guardians are not required to skate. Every student does need to be accompanied by a responsible adult who will sign them in and out and remain on the premises for the duration of the event. This means that if you are unable to stay, another adult (18 or over) must be willing to take responsibility for your child in your absence. Our January Skating Party is being hosted by the 7th Grade Parents. Their SignUp has been completely filled. Way to go!

Welcome to Ms. Fary!
"I attended Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, where I earned a degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Reading. To me, the best part about teaching is that I get to have a positive impact on future generations. There is nothing better than seeing my students become confident, lifelong learners! When I am not in school I enjoy traveling, hiking, and spending time with my dogs."
Our Next Box Tops Challenge Deadline is February 7!
- 25 Box Tops = 1 Entry
- 50 Box Tops = 2 Entries
- 100 Box Tops = 4 Entries
- and so on!
Our grand prize winner will be announced and rewarded on Valentine's Day.
