Annual Appeal

 
 

“ No duty is more important than that of returning thanks.”
St. Ambrose

 
Dear Friends of St. Anne Catholic School,

     St. Ambrose so simply, yet eloquently, states the feeling that drives each day at St. Anne, thankfulness.  We are thankful for the blessing of families that entrust us with their most precious gifts and for a safe, loving and faith-filled environment in which we are able to help them excel both academically and in their faith. For the past 79 years St. Anne Catholic School has provided our community with graduates at the highest level of academic excellence, moral compass, leadership qualities and hearts for giving and service to others.         We are preparing 565 of these future leaders during the current 2016-2017 school year to shape the future of our community.   We do so with the assistance of many, like yourselves, who help our school community by giving of their time, talent and financial gifts.
Giving through monetary donation to our school provides our supporters with the most direct and significant way to impact key points of our mission not funded by our operating budget:
Annual Appeal dollars afford us the ability to provide our students with a superior and challenging academic program that reaches far beyond textbooks and worksheets.  We continuously strive to keep current with the latest technology used by both teachers and students in our instruction and application of skills. IPads, Chromebooks, Smartboards and 3D printing are part of our interactive classrooms. Our goal is to expand our technology program to ensure the most engaged and advanced learners today and future leaders for life. Our Annual Report highlights the multitude of improvements and advancements afforded by your Annual Appeal dollars last year.
     Additionally, your donation dollars help us to realize our mission of providing a safe climate for our students and staff with the addition of all day security to our campus.  You will see our Beaumont Police Department officers greeting parents and students each day in morning carpool, attending weekday mass with our students, walking through our halls and providing a constant reminder to all who visit our campus that we take the safety of our staff and students very seriously. They are a significant presence on our campus and well-loved members of our school family.
     Lastly, your generous donations to our Annual Appeal allow us to keep Catholic School both affordable and accessible to all families, those currently enrolled as well as those considering Catholic education.  No family pays the full cost tuition to educate a student at St. Anne.  Annual Appeal dollars provide a silent scholarship for each of our students so that we may continue to offer a sliding tuition scale based on each family’s ability to pay. 
Your faithfulness in giving to our school helps to ensure its sustainability.  Please consider donating today. We are truly blessed by each of you! 
Many blessings,

Alison Kiker, Principal
