Dear St. Anne Families,

Donations for the Christmas market have started to come in and we are so excited for December 12th! We are still in need of items in order to run the sale so please keep sending in your donations! Some of the popular items from previous years include picture frames, games, movies, jewellery and houseware items. We would like to avoid selling clothing as all items would need to be washed prior to sale. All items will be priced at $1.00. We would like to have gift bags and wrapping available for students who are purchasing items as gifts, so we would appreciate donations of these as well. We will begin to accept donations immediately. Please send in any items you have to school with your child, and his/her teacher will ensure that it gets to us.

Lots of Fun For Halloween!

We had a lot of fun and our students had their first reward from the Spirit Meter. It was a great day! We hope you enjoyed the Halloween Parade.

Congratulations to Our October Student of the Month Winners!

Well done students! Our focus for October was Digital Literacy and our focus for November will be Communication.
