Message from the President
I hope everyone is having a successful school year so far. We are getting a late start this year, but we have a terrific executive committee and many dedicated volunteers. I hope this will be an exciting year for the students, parents, and staff of St. Anne's School. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with many of you to improve the St. Anne's experience for our children.
We will be holding a Santa Shop this year in conjunction with the Student Council. St. Anne's students will have the opportunity to purchase gifts for family and friends. It is tentatively scheduled for December 10-11. We will need volunteers to set up the shop; we will also need volunteers to staff the cash register and help the students select and wrap gifts. If you would like to volunteer and cannot come to the 11/29 meeting, please call Susan Deely at (610) 814-3153 to sign up.
If you have any questions or concerns prior to our upcoming meetings, please feel free to call me.
Susan Deely

REMINDER
If you are planning to volunteer at all in the school, you must complete a background check. Forms are available in the office. If you spend more than 16 hours in the school in any capacity, you must complete the Protecting God's Children program. This is a requirement of the diocese and is not negotiable. If you have not completed the required checks or training, you will not be allowed to volunteer in the school. Mrs. Vasko is the school's volunteer coordinator. Please check with her if you have any questions.
