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 of 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 

We are kicking off our 4th Annual St. Ann School Read-a-Thon!

During the Read-a-Thon, we'll be spending some DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time every day. Students are asked to read 20+ minutes per day for the duration of the Read-a-Thon.

All reading counts! Books, magazines, ebooks, audiobooks!

Any student who reads 1+ hours will earn a Free Dress Down Pass!

Keep track of the minutes you read on the attached sheet. You can earn an extra entry into the prize drawing for each book review you submit as well.

Merry Christmas!

A look back - Since our last update, we have concluded two fundraisers: Charleston Wrap and our Super 50/50. Thank you to all those who purchased goods from Charleston; we made around $1,400. In spite of all the challenges presented by COVID 19, the Super 50/50 turned out to be quite successful. We sold 689 of 1,000 tickets. On 12/4 Mr. C. drew the winning ticket... CONGRATULATIONS to our winner: Monica Haley!
Additionally, on Friday 12/4, Saint Nicholas made a special visit to our school and surreptitiously delivered goodie bags for the kids. We were so happy to be able to keep this St. Ann School tradition alive this year!

Looking forward - Here is what is coming up next:

• Teacher Christmas Gift Program - We are once again sponsoring the Teacher Christmas Gift Program, a voluntary donation program in which all St. Ann’s School teachers and staff receive a cash gift for Christmas, in lieu of individual or class gifts. This is a great, safe, COVID compliant, opportunity to show your appreciation to our wonderful teachers and staff for all they do for our children! ALL FUNDS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THIS FRIDAY 12/11. For more information see: https://d2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/20805/documents/2020/11/Teacher%20Gift%20Fund%20due%2012-11.pdf 

• Candy Cane Lane - The PTA has received permission to hold a COVID-compliant Christmas celebration in lieu of our traditional hot chocolate day & Christmas parties. Students will be invited to come to the cafeteria - one at a time - to stuff a stocking with little pre-packaged goodies/treats (much like we did for the Trick or Treat Trail). Then they will get to enjoy their goodies while watching Christmas movies in their classrooms. We hope this little celebration will bring some holiday joy to the kids. (Shhh...try not to tell them, we’d like to keep it a bit of a surprise.) 

• Advent Day of Giving - Unfortunately, due to the surge in COVID cases, we are not able to put on our Advent Day of Giving. This decision was made jointly with the Homefront organization.

• Ongoing Fundraisers - 

  • Shop with Scrip - Details about the program can be found here: https://d2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/20805/documents/2020/7/Shop%20with%20Scrip%20What%20Is%20It.pdf

  • Cards for a Cause - Details can be found here: https://ec-prod-site-cache.s3.amazonaws.com/static/saintannschool.org/documents/2020/10/CFAC32Flyer4535.pdf
