Dear SACS Families,
It’s amazing the difference a year can make. Last year we were still digging our way out from all the snow Mother Nature provided us. I’m sure the kids would like a little white stuff to build snowman, forts or go sledding on. I remind them that there is plenty of winter left! We have been busy planning our Catholic Schools Week and we are optimistic for a full week of school and activities. You are welcome to join us for any of the programs we have planned. Students are also welcome to bring a friend to school any day next week to shadow here at St. Anna’s. Tuition rates and new registration forms will be emailed home on Monday, February 1st. If you are planning to apply for financial assistance please visit the website and apply before March 15, 2016. https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/3H1T8 OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY!!Don’t miss the Open House this weekend.
