I hope January has brought as much joy to your homes as your children have brought to our halls and classrooms! We’ve taken this opportunity in the beginning of a fresh new semester to revisit our school calendar.

It has been so wonderful to see our teachers and students back in the swing of things after, what I hope was, a relaxing break with family. It is hard to believe we are already preparing for the 2021-2022 school year!

One of the most wonderful things about St. Ann is our supportive community. So many of you have shared your personal St. Ann story with a friend or family member and in turn they have reached out for a tour or more information about our school.
