Adding Up to Success
  

Last week we hosted Math Night to demonstrate how we teach the strand of algebraic thinking from Preschool to Eighth Grade. Parents were treated to some one-on-one time with teachers who demonstrated lessons they use in their classrooms. Thanks to everyone who came out to learn about our program.

All parents are invited to attend our open PA Meeting on Tuesday, March 6 at 8:15 a.m. We're looking for feedback and suggestions about the PA's programs and events. If you'd like to participate in planning for the future, this meeting is a great opportunity to get involved! Light breakfast refreshments will be provided.
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!
