Hi! My name is Christine Savela and I am the PTA President. I have three daughters here: Kinley in 5th Grade, Kallie in 3rd, and Kambry in 1st. I want to briefly share with you some information about the PTA, what we do, your role and how you can keep us with us all year.  The PTA is here to support the mission of our school. We run numerous events and activities to enhance the educational, social and spiritual experience at St. Ann’s. We conduct fundraisers that allow us to fund in whole or in part: assemblies, field trips, clubs, special in school activities like field day and hot chocolate day, after school events like Trunk or Treat, Family Karaoke, and Dances. We provide funds to assist with school initiatives like new water fountains, cafeteria tables, white boards, and more. You can find all of our events for the year on our PTA Year-at-Glance on the PTA page on the school website. 

Hello Saint Ann School Families and Teachers! Can you believe the first week of school is almost done already?? We hope all of your students have had a fun start to the school year and enjoyed getting to know their teachers and classmates. Thank you to everyone who attended and volunteered at our End of Summer Picnic. We had a fantastic turnout and some great helpers who made the night such a success. We hope you all enjoyed it. Attached, find our monthly newsletter. Read on for lots of fun PTA updates and events! If you haven't heard, the new cafeteria tables are in and it has added so many additional seats for our kids. With your fundraising help at the end of the last school year, the PTA was able to fund the new cafeteria tables for the school!

Hello Saint Ann School Families, We hope you are all enjoying the start to your summer vacation. What a challenging, but wonderful year we had at Saint Ann's. While there were many changes, we are proud of how everyone was able to come together as a community to still provide learning and fun for our students. Thank you for all of the support you each gave us on the PTA. Whether it was volunteering for events, helping our fundraisers to be successful, or enjoying any of the various activities that the PTA ran, you all helped to bring some joy to our children. Colonial Bowling Gift Card We hope you all received your Colonial Bowling Gift Cards that were sent home with your students the last week of school. We want to thank Colonial Bowling for donating these cards to our school for distribution to all school families to have a little fun this summer! Coin Challenge Our Coin Challenge was a great success raising over $1,700 to help us purchase the new cafeteria tables. We also had $350 in direct donations for the cause as well!

Dear Saint Ann School Families – I did not want to let the end of the year pass without sending my best wishes for the Summer. I wanted to officially announce that I will be Saint Ann School’s new Head of School for the 23-24 school year and Mrs. Laura Bond will be our new Dean of Academics, in addition to teaching Social Studies. Together with the teachers and staff we have already begun planning and working on plans for next year. The search for Math/Science teachers continues for the Middle School. Together we celebrated many joyful milestones for our Saint Ann’s students in their educational journey. We would like to wish the eighth graders all the best in their transitions to their secondary schools’ communities. They will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud of them and we hope they know they take a piece of Saint Ann with them wherever they go. I hope you are able to take time to rest and relax this summer. Our summer office hours are Monday through Thursday 9:00AM-1:00PM. Enjoy the Summer! Ameriquin Dalmasy-Laccetti ​​​​​​​Head of School

Dear Saint Ann Families, We are keeping a close eye on the air quality due to the smoke from the wildfires in Jackson and Canada. Forecasts indicate that conditions should improve overnight and we are hopeful that tomorrow will be better. We will continue to hold indoor recess until the outdoor air quality improves. We closed the outdoor air ventilation dampers in our HVAC units, so that outside air is not introduced to our buildings overnight. The air in our buildings will continue to be circulated throughout the night and during the day tomorrow. We will follow the recommendations received from the Diocese of Trenton: 1-All outdoor activities should be avoided. Outside recess periods, outside lunch periods, field days, etc. should remain indoors until such time as the air quality improves. 2-All students should be allowed to wear masks, on a volunteer basis, if the family believes necessary for their student(s). Thank you for your patience during this situation.
