Spotlight on Middle School Intensives: Newspaper
 
Each week, Middle School students participate in a self-selected Intensive class, which is a chance for them to explore and investigate a topic or discipline that interests them, such as journalism, creative writing or even non-Euclidean geometry. This week we're highlighting our Newspaper Intensive.

Read more about our Middle School students' experience creating our school-wide newspaper, and be sure to read The Star Gazette - our student newspaper - for yourself! 
Our Kindergarten class published a special book for Valentine's Day. Click here to read. 
Math Night
Thursday, February 23 - 7 p.m.

Learn how the strand of algebraic thinking is woven through our math curriculum from Preschool to Eighth Grade. Parents will have an opprotunity to experiance the activities we use to foster conceptual thinking, as well as participate in a discussion with teachers and administrators. This is an informational night for parents and childcare will be provided. Parents are welcome to bring a friend to introduce them to our program! RSVP Form 
Special Dress Day - Special Cause
Wear green on Fri., March 9 and support Canine Companions for Independence

Students are invited to wear green on Friday, March 9 to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. On special dress days, Middle School students are encouraged to bring in a donation for charitable organization. For this special dress day, we're inviting the whole school to participate with donations going to Canine Companions for Independence, a very special organization to the students and staff at St. Anne's School.

Canine Companions for Independence is the organization that science teacher Donna Davis is working with to raise her service dog, Eaton. CCI placed Eaton with Donna earlier this year and Donna will send Eaton off to "puppy college" when he is 18 months old. Donna has been bringing Eaton to school each day as part of his training, and the students and staff alike have loved watching Eaton grow and learn!

On Friday, March 2, we will have an all school assembly where Donna, Eaton's trainer Emerson Davis, and some more special guests will demonstrate the amazing abilities of service dogs. Eaton will be joined by a full service dog named Mahler. Read more about Eaton's journey.
