Spring Concert
All students should wear their “Sunday/Spring Best”.
We thank you all for staying for the whole show and supporting all of our students!
Purple Day!
On Wednesday, May 29th we will have a PURPLE Pride Out of Dress day to support the Purple Tigers in their walk.
Students can wear purple on May 29th with a $3 per person, $5 per family donation and all the money raised will go towards the Purple Tiger's team fundraising goals.
School Supply Kits
Paper order forms should have come home with your child. Middle School students will have an additional flyer for the 'optional' items which include a calculator for math and locker shelves.
These kits allow you purchase all of your child's back to school supplies in one quick and easy stop. Supply kits are then delivered to your child's classroom for the first day of school!
We will also send home at the end of the year the supply lists in paper form for those that want to do their own school supply shopping instead of purchasing the kits.

Baseball in Education Day for K-8
BASEBALL IN EDUCATION DAY
All Students and Staff from grades Kindergarten through 8th grade will be attending the Worcester Bravehearts Baseball in Education Day baseball game vs the Suns on Wednesday, June 5th. This is an all day trip. We will be leaving by 9:30 and returning by 3:00. We are excited to support SAS Alumn Matt Aronson who is a pitcher this season for the Bravehearts!
Choir will be singing the National Anthem prior to the game.
The cost of the trip is $4 per student and includes free hat and lunch (hot dog, chips, package of cookies and bottle water). Students can also pack water/snacks to bring with them.
The game will be held at Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field (on the campus of Holy Cross) in Worcester. The Bravehearts are a Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL) Team. Thank you to the PTO for providing the bussing for this trip and a portion of the ticket cost!
We have plenty of teachers and staff attending the trip which will keep the adult to student ration below 1-10. No student will go to the rest rooms alone. An adult will always accompany them. We also have box seats because we are a big group and this will keep us all together and close to the bathrooms. Students should wear appropriate out of dress bottoms with any St. Anna Shirt. This will show unity as a group as well as allow us to keep track of students easily.
This is a fun day out and not as slow as some baseball games. There’s entertainment between innings as well as when each team switches at bats. Remember the sun screen!
Please take a minute to fill out the PERMISSION FORM
Cool Kids Cash Club
Open Your Account this summer to be ready to start banking in the fall. School Banking is on Tuesday mornings every other week! Teach your children to save early.
This program will allow students to begin banking at school. They will learn the importance of saving and will be able to make deposits into their savings account twice a month. This is an easy and terrific way to start saving NOW for middle school field trips! Each year the 6th graders attend Nature’s Classroom at a cost of around $600. The Washington DC trip is held every other year so your child would have the opportunity to attend DC as either a 7th or 8th grader. This trip costs around $1000. If you being saving NOW, as early as preschool or Kindergarten, your child could easily save enough money to cover both of these trips by the time they become a middle school student!
Students will also learn skills about keeping a savings account pass book and other financial skills that are necessary to become financially responsible adults.
Parents who are interested in having their child participate in this program, will need to open their child’s account at Fidelity and then on-going deposits can be made conveniently at school. We will also have a booth set up at back to school BBQ for you to open your child's account.
Please feel free to stop in at either Fidelity branch in Leominster to open your account. Please let them know it is for St. Anna’s Cool Cash Club.
If you have questions about the program, please contact Ruby Vargas from Fidelity Bank at rvargas@fidelitybankonline.com
I am pleased to share with you that in conjunction with the Diocese of Worcester, Pflaum will be hosting a Family and Faith Celebration event on Saturday, October 26 at Assumption College from 1-5 pm. The day will conclude w Mass by Bp McManus at Assumption College at 4 pm.
