Principal's Notes
Dear Parents,
Now that the Season of Lent is culminating with Easter, I hope these past forty days have helped us all to change a little for the better in the way we act or the way we look at the things around us. As I always say to the students, "None of us are perfect. We all need to improve. Let's use this season of Lent to make ourselves better people." Christ's life, death on the Cross (Good Friday) and resurrection from the dead (Easter Sunday) are reminders that our lives are temporary. Living the best we can, being the best parent, husband, wife, father, mother, teacher, friend, is what we should all be striving for in life. We only have one chance at being the best person we can be. Let's conclude this season of Lent determined to be filled with God's love and compassion for our family and the world, continuing to work hard, using the gifts God has given us to help all those around us, and appreciating all that we have been given by God. If we live our lives this way, we can be assured that we will all see God face to face when we are called home after our life here on earth is over. On behalf of all the teachers and staff here at St. Anne School, I want to wish all of you a wonderful Easter with your family and friends.

Virtus Online
Parents! Please remember to select “SCHOOL” when registering with Virtusonline.org to complete the course “Protecting God’s Children”. This will help us verify your compliance when you chaperone or volunteer. If you don’t select the SCHOOL, chances are you registered with another affiliation (i.e. St. Anne Parish) and we can not verify your compliance.
Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated!
