Saint Ann School PTA
The Saint Ann School PTA is a volunteer organization composed of Saint Ann School parents just like you! It is run by an Executive Board composed by a President, Vice President, Recording and Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer.
The SAS PTA is a positive force in encouraging collaboration between home and school. It further supports the school's programs by volunteering, fundraising, and hosting special events, and it is a unified voice to support the needs of our children. To this end, in addition to a $15 PTA membership due, Saint Ann School has a 25 hour PTA volunteer requirement and a $125 fundraising requirement for all families.
To learn more about the SAS PTA you may email our PTA president, Mrs. Patricia Williams at pmw7904@aol.com or stannpta@gmail.com -
PTA Board Update - 04/06/20
I hope this email finds you well. These are challenging times, for our families, for our school, and for the PTA. We miss our St. Ann community, we miss our teachers, kiddos, and families, and we are keeping everyone in our prayers.
A look back - Since our last report in February, the PTA has hosted/run: February Cash Bingo, the 2nd Middle School dance, Handbag Bingo, Family Bingo, and our Silent Auction! I would like to thank everyone who worked with the PTA to help bring all of these wonderful activities and events to our school community. Your efforts are very appreciated!
Where we are - Due to the COVID-19 social distancing requirements, we have had to cancel several planned events: March Cash Bingo, our annual Easter Basket Drive, the Egg Hunt, the March & April pretzel days, and the May Cash Bingo. Additionally, given all the unknowns right now, we have had to postpone (and may eventually have to cancel) the following events: School Movie Trip and the 3rd Middle School Dance.
On the bright side...here are the things that are STILL planned, though they may/will be presented in a slightly different manner:- Gertrude Hawk Delivery - we have negotiated with Gertrude Hawk to have your orders shipped directly to your homes. The shipping charges are being split by Gertrude Hawk & the PTA, you will not be charged shipping. Fatima Scipio remains the point of contact for any questions you may have.
- Flower Power - Karen Cerra has communicated options for participating in our Flower Power fundraiser. The deadline for delivery to the school has passed, but you can still order online until May 1st, and for $6 have your purchases shipped directly to your home.
- Spring Book Fair - we have moved ONLINE!! Our Spring Book Fair will take place April 9th - April 22nd. All orders will ship directly to your home, with FREE shipping on book-only orders over $25. Visit our Book Fair homepage to get started: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/
stannschool5 - Super 50/50 - We filed an amendment with the State of NJ, and received approval to move our Super 50/50 drawing date to 6/1. It is our hope that this extension will afford people the opportunity to sell tickets in mid to late May. If you have already sold tickets, please notify those people of the change in the drawing date due to COVID-19. If you have books of tickets to sell, please use a pencil to change the drawing date on the face of the ticket to 6/1/2020. If you would like a book of tickets to sell, or are interested in buying tickets, please reach out to me at pmw7904@aol.com.
- Spring Used Clothing/Household Items Drive - It is still on! We will once again have a truck to fill, on the afternoon of Thurs. 4/23 & morning of Fri. 4/24. We will be following STRICT SOCIAL DISTANCING guidelines, so we ask for patience as people unload their cars. Only one car will be permitted to pull up to the unloading area at a time. You will need to remove the items from your own car - adults-only NO CHILDREN ALLOWED - and place them on the ground near the truck. A volunteer will be present to move them into the truck. If you want a receipt for tax purposes, it will be sent electronically at the end of the event.
Other News -
The tuition incentive program is still in effect for those eligible families.
BOX TOPS - Please keep submitting your receipts online.
April General PTA Meeting - we are exploring options for delivering our meeting online. Information will be shared as we finetune the details.
I know these are challenging times for many. Things are very fluid, and we will provide updates as we know/learn more. Thank you for your patience and your perseverance.
God Bless!
