ACADEMIC AWARDS!


HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

A Tribute to Fathers


It takes a while for children

to see,

how often, day by day,

his wisdom and his counsel

may have helped them on their way,

but as the time goes by,

they realize the love he’s always shown

and they feel that he’s among

the very finest men they’ve known.

Changes at St. Anne's for September 2010-2011

As everyone is now aware, restructuring of the Placentia School System has resulted in St. Anne's Academy becoming a K-6 school beginning in September 2010. However, this is not the only change we will experience. Two of our current teachers will be changing schools with Mr. Mark Nash moving to Laval and Ms. Allison Reddy taking a position at Holy Cross. We would like to thank both teachers for their excellence in teaching, indulgence in our Extra-Curricular Program, and just their genuine interest in the success of our children. Your new schools will be much better with you in them. We wish you the best of luck in your new positions.

As well as our teaching staff being affected, our support staff will see a change as Mr. Ray George will be moving to Laval next year. Anyone who has been involved in any aspect of school life at St. Anne's has recognized how much time and effort Mr. George puts into his work. He is never happy until a job has been completed to his high standards. Thank you, and good luck in your new position.

In addition to the movement of teachers and support staff, there are two extremely valued members of our staff retiring -Mrs. Doris Smith and Mr. Ken Mandville. For the past 30 years these two individuals have given their heart and soul to our education system, and now move on to seek out new challenges. Both teachers have made a positive impact on countless numbers of students they have taught. On behalf of the school community we extend to you our heartfelt thanks. We hope that retirement brings you only the best of luck.


Teachers affect eternity-they never know where their influence will stop.”


TO OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY

As this will be our final newsletter, we, the staff and students of St. Anne’s Academy, would like to express our sincere gratitude for the support that our school community continues to commit to us.

We have had an excellent year with your children, working to inspire them to learn all they can in the time they spend with us.

To our Grade 6,7,8,9 students, we wish you all the best as you take your education to another stage. Each of you has unlimited potential. Hopefully, we have provided you with the base you need to reach it.

We would also like to thank the families of our Grade 6,7,8,9 students who will no longer have children attending St. Anne’s. We hope we can count on your continued encouragement and support.

As, well we would like to acknowledge the work of our volunteers. From the breakfast program, to coaching teams to book fairs and other countless events . We could always rely on these unselfish individuals who gave their free time. Thank you
