SAINT ANN SCHOOL

Meet our marvelous Mrs. Melillo! Suzanne Melillo teaches Language Arts to our middle school students. After teaching public school in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District, she brought her talents here at Saint Ann School. She teaches students to write thorough research papers and to work on enhancing their individual comprehension skills through reading strategies, activities, and exposure to different genres. Working very closely with the rest of the Middle School Team, she makes sure that her students are high school ready, with a renewed sense of responsibility and self-esteem.

This year for Catholic School Week’s service project, we continue to support tribal schools in the Philippines. These two tribal schools are in the villages called Kitorok and Ilian, deep into the mountain range of Santa Maria, Davao del Sur among the Tagakaolo tribal people, two hours by car from the nearest town. For the past few years, we have been donating school supplies and based on their current needs, we are including toothbrushes/toothpaste this year to further promote oral hygiene among the school kids and help prevent diseases or illnesses caused by improper oral care. All of our donations travel thousands of miles across the world to reach hundreds of tribal school students. We are very thankful to our SAS community for their constant generous support!
