Catching up...
PTO Fall Fundraiser!
St. Anna Needs a New Playground!
Both designs below have comparable warranties for their major components and have been designed specifically for our space after site visits from the manufacturers. Each set will appeal to different aesthetics and carry different costs. Because fundraising will be a huge component of this endeavor, we'd like a sense of what the St Anna community prefers. Due to the high costs associated with a new playground, fundraising could take 1-2 years.
If you can, please check out the two choices displayed and cast your vote today!

Texas Roadhouse Fundraising-
The PTO has been generously supported by our local Texas Roadhouse for many years. Upcoming, the local restaurant will be supplying popcorn for our PTO movie night and hosting dine-in nights at the restaurant. These events are fun ways to come together over a meal and build community while raising funds for our school. You can also use gift cards purchased through the Scrip Gift Card program at dine in nights. St Anna School will receive 8% of your gift card purchase AS WELL as 10% of dine in checks even if you use a gift card that has ALREADY given us a kickback!
