Saint Anne's School will be hosting an Open House on Sunday, January 27, 2008. A special Mass highlighting how we "Light the Way" at Saint Anne's School will be celebrated at 11:45 in the Church, with the Open House following the Mass at 12:45pm.

Saint Anne's is a co-educational Roman Catholic day school for Nursery through 8th Grade. Located in the Diocese of Rockville Centre, Saint Anne's was one of the first schools in the diocese to receive Middle States accreditation. For the 2007-2008 school year, enrollment is over 500 students.

Saint Anne's is a Christian community dedicated to making God's presence known and loved by each child. Each grade level works closely with differ-ent areas of Parish Social Ministry on service projects. These projects open the eyes of the children to the needs of those around them. Children are en-couraged to demonstrate Catholic values through service to those in need. The sacramental life is essential to our growth. In our brand new chapel intimate class Masses are celebrated regularly throughout the year where the children are encouraged to participate fully in the Mass. We are committed to preparing our children for the culture of a new age of technology and discov-ery through an excellent educational program.

In all curriculum areas students are encouraged to think critically, independently, and honestly. Students are encouraged to make choices, to exercise instructions and to assume responsibilities.

We believe students should draw upon the diverse cultural components of the school community to increase their appreciation of the uniqueness of each individual.

The faculty continually strives to improve and grow professionally. We have several new initiatives currently un-derway including development of a more interactive website to be utilized by teachers, students and parents alike. We advocate a community where children can see the faculty working together while respecting one another.

We would encourage you to come to the Open House where you will have a chance to meet Dr. William O'Sullivan, our distinguished principal. In addition you will meet our wonderful teachers, parents of current students and our strongest selling point, the students themselves. Registration for the 2008/2009 school year will be on February 5th for Kindergarten and on February 6th for grades 1-8.
