Dear Saint Anne’s School Community,

As we come upon the last few days of the school year, I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on the wonderful year we all had, which was made possible by all of the families and parish support here at Saint Anne’s. Saint Anne’s was again blessed to have been open to provide in-person instruction five days a week. Midway through the year we saw the lessening of NYS mandates and a return to more of a normal school experience for our community.

When thinking about all we have accomplished this year, I wanted to share with you some highlights:

1. Maintained 1:1 Technology for students grades K-8
2. Enhanced school safety by upgrading 2 sets of doors and the new fance in the rear of the school 
3. Continued the i-ready assessment and again saw growth in Math and ELA
4. Supported students through our Academic Intervention Services
5. Safely reinstated lunchroom procedures
6. Installed 6 new SmartBoards
7. Equipped our Science Lab with LCD Microscopes
8. Return of class trips
9. Began the St. Anne’s School early morning drop off
10. Participated in the first Diocese of Rockville Centre Aquinas Expo
11. Collaborated with our building staff to ensure the safety and sanitation of the building
12. With the help of the HSA and benefactors, we were able to open our Saint Anne’s School Art Gallery
13. Returned to hosting in-person gatherings such as Back to School Night, The Science Fair, The Saint Patrick’s Day Party, The School Play, The Spring Concert to name a few
14. Began new traditions like our Easter Egg Hunt, Early Childhood Stepping Up Community Celebration, and Middle School Days of Reflection

These successes are a direct result of the partnership Saint Anne’s School has with its parish and school families. Thank you for continuing to make us a successful school.

We thank Fr. Tom, Fr. Cody, and Fr. Nicholas for their priestly ministry throughout this year. Providing our school community with school masses, grade masses, and the opportunity for the Sacrament of Confession has been an integral part of what made this year sop successful. Our Catholic Identity is at the center of who we are as a school community. We thank them for their dedication to Saint Anne’s School.

Saint Anne’s school is blessed in many ways. One of the important pieces that makes Saint Anne’s so special is the vision and dedication of our Home School Association. Their support allows us to have community events, fundraisers, school spirit opportunities, and provides improvements in our school.  We want to thank our HSA for all that they do for us here at Saint Anne’s School!

In a special way, we want to acknowledge the retirement of one of our long-time teachers. Mrs.Thaler has dedicated her professional career to Catholic education here at Saint Anne’s. Over the years Mrs. Thaler has journeyed with many families. In addition, we acknowledge the retirement of Nurse Marie, who has served our school over these past few years.  We wish them a happy retirement!

This year has been a blessing for so many reasons. It is truly a joy to serve as your principal, to work with such a talented faculty and staff in a strong partnership with families who strive to make Saint Anne’s School the special place that it has always been.

Please have a healthy and safe Summer!

God bless,
