During this Lenten season, we recognize the importance of reflection and appreciation. St. Ann Catholic School staff members are dedicated to the mission of Catholic education, and we are grateful for all their time, talent, treasure, and efforts to ensure our children grow closer to Christ.

Our Friday today was filled with a Fire Drill, a fun dance party with Mr. Miles, and a farewell to 3rd quarter! We hope everyone has a restful and enjoyable Spring Break.

This warm weather this week has been a great way to begin this Lenten season! I've always thought of Lent as a type of spiritual spring cleaning. A time to rid ourselves of habits that keep us from Christ. It is a season of new beginnings!

We appreciate everyone who was able to join us for Ash Wednesday Mass. Our students began their Lenten journey with a Faith Family activity today involving a Lent Trivia Game!

We hope everyone enjoyed the Chiefs Victory Parade yesterday! Thank you for your flexibility, as this was such an exciting time to be part of the Kansas City community.

Happy Red Friday everyone! I want to start by saying that the talent show was unbelievable this past Friday! The students did amazing! We are so blessed to have volunteers that are willing to dedicate so much of their time to make things happen here at St. Ann.

What a wonderful and exciting week we have had at St. Ann Catholic School! It has been filled with faith, fun, and community building! Enjoy this week's Friday Enews.

Happy Thursday! I can't believe that we are already at the end of January! We will begin our kick-off to Catholic Schools Week at the 9 AM Mass on Sunday. Please come and encourage your children to wear their uniforms. I can't wait to see everyone's school spirit!

January weather is definitely beginning to show up and the students have begun to settle into the third quarter. I love walking down the halls and seeing all the new year resolutions! This is such a great time of the year to slow down, evaluate, and renew ourselves.

It's been nice to get back into the routine. I'm excited to see what this second half of the year brings! One special treat this week was having Brother Max Nguyen (pictured above) come in and speak to the 5th and 6th graders about his journey discerning to become a priest.

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. Thank you for your patience with our new dismissal process this semester.

We feel so blessed to have spent this Advent season with your children and pray that your Christmas is filled with joy! Please see read this enews for end of December info and changes to be made in 2023.

We have now lit two violet candles on our Advent wreath. I pray for God's strength, as we prepare our hearts for Christmas, to bring us closer to each other and to His Son. Lord, give us the grace and strength we need every day and help us to always trust in you. Come, Lord Jesus, lead all people closer to you!

I pray this blessed season fills everyone's hearts with peace and joy! Even though this time is very busy, don't forget it is also a wonderful opportunity for us to slow down and begin preparing for our Lord's birth. As we move towards Christmas, St. Ann has many opportunities for the students to share their gifts and grow in their faith

St. Ann Catholic School & YCC faculty and staff wishes our families a very Happy Thanksgiving. May each of you enjoy this celebration with your family full of love, laughter and peace.

We are currently on the rise of Flu and RSV season. Unfortunately, pediatric offices, urgent cares, and ER’s are already seeing a surge in the number of children diagnosed with these illness. This time of year, it is always good practice to take extra caution.

Happy Veterans Day! We are so thankful to all that have chosen to be in the armed forces. We were lucky enough to have a few guest service members speak in different grade levels today.

Happy November everyone! We had a great October here at St. Ann. So many awesome things happened over the last month! Just a few of those are: saint presentation, weekly all school rosaries, halloween parties and parade, conferences...

It is hard to believe we are already jumping into second quarter. As many of you know, we use COGNIA for our accreditation process to set continuous improvement goals.

As we approach the colder months, there have been many conversations regarding uniform shorts and pants. We would like to survey both staff and parents regarding this matter and appreciate your feedback.
