Note from the Head for A Day
Today, Besse C. from Second Grade was "Head for a Day." Besse enjoyed a day in the life of Head of School, which included helping out at arrival duty, eating lunch in the faculty lounge, handing out popsicles during recess, and writing a special note for The Constellation. Read below to see what our Head for the Day had to say! "Head for a Day" and other school sponsored items can be bid on at each year's auction.

Today I am Head of School. Thank you Charlotte O. for letting me be the Head of School. It is fun to do all the stuff the Head does.

-Besse C. 
Faculty Update
Pat Clubine, longtime art teacher at St. Anne's School, has let us know that she will be moving back to her native Michigan this spring. Pat will be leaving St. Anne's School on April 13. We are in the process of securing a long-term guest teacher for the remainder of the year. I hope you will join the St. Anne's School community in thanking Pat for all she has done here and wishing her well on her future endeavors.
