SAINT ANN SCHOOL

Last week was Computer Science Education Week, and to celebrate it, our 6th graders met with their prayer buddies to teach our 3rd graders how to code using block-based coding. They used code.org's Dance Party Hour of Code to create a dance character and to program that character to dance along to a song of their choosing. Fun was had by all!

On Wednesday, Dec. 5, SAS students, staff and families had the chance to experience "Christmas Around the World". This project is part of the Spanish curriculum for students in 4th and 5th grade at Saint Ann School. Coordinated by Spanish teacher Mrs. Laccetti, the students were divided into small groups and researched an assigned Country and its Christmas traditions. They then presented their project to the rest of the school and their families, who walked around the gymnasium learning about Christmas around the world and tasting traditional Christmas food from the Countries that were represented.

Saint Ann School and Parish children in 7th and 8th grade volunteered their time on Saturday, Dec. 8 during the Advent Day of Giving event. This annual service project is sponsored by the SAS PTA and offers a chance to all Confirmation candidates in the Saint Ann community to donate their time and share the Christmas spirit with those less privileged. Read more about this event in the Events & News page of our website.
