SAINT ANN SCHOOL

Dear Saint Ann School Families, on Tuesday, 09/17 representatives from the Church of Saint Ann's Junior Legion of Mary visited with students from third to eighth grade to distribute information regarding this worldwide organization and to recruit new members. The Junior Legion of Mary is a parish organization and is moderated by adult volunteers from the Church of Saint Ann. The adult volunteers have completed the mandatory Virtus training and fingerprinting as required by the Diocese of Trenton for volunteers working with children. Please take note that this is not a school club but a Parish run organization. The Junior Legion of Mary meets weekly on Thursdays from 2:30 to 4:00 pm in the Faith Development Center. Saint Ann School students who attend are dismissed to the adult volunteers who escort the children to the FDC. If you have any questions, you may contact Lorraine Burns at 609-882-0895 or Rose Kaniper at 440-670-2282. God Bless!

Thursday, 09/19 Saint Ann School hosted High School Awareness Open House for 7th & 8th-grade students & their families exploring academic life after middle school. Several area high schools representatives came and shared information about admission, financial aid & other things their school has to offer.

Saint Ann School & Parish Green Team invited parishioners to the blessing of the parish #solarenergy project last Sunday. The project consisted of the installation of solar panels over the "Walk of Faith" sidewalk that stretches across the church & school parking lot. The blessing was presided by Msgr. Vince Gartland. Parishioners were asked to bring clean water from a natural water source to be used for the blessing.

Saint Ann School is proud to present two new school clubs! Our Science teacher, Mrs. Daniel, will host the Trout Team and the Green Thumb clubs. Interested in all things trout? Do you want to be in charge of making sure the water quality in our fish tank is optimal for our trout? The Trout Team club is the place for you! Do you love gardening? Or just love the idea of eating the "fruits" of your labor? Join the Green Thumb Club and help take care of our school garden. Members will be able to take home herbs and tomatoes that are grown in the garden as they begin to grow in the spring and summer. Flyers with more information about these clubs will be coming soon. In the meanwhile, if you have any questions contact Mrs. Daniel at mdaniel@st-ann-school.org
