The Constellation Sets Sail

We've changed a few things up in this week's Constellation to spotlight the upcoming St. Anne's School Regatta & Auction on Saturday, April 14. Don't worry, we'll be back to burgundy and gold next week! Read below to learn more about the Regatta & Auction and how you can support the school by attending or sponsoring the event. 
 
 
Thanks to the help of our Regatta & Auction Committee, our students were treated to two great pep rallies to gear up for the annual fundraiser. In Lower School, the pep rally was perfectly timed to feature the Kindergarten's boat research and in Middle School, the Eighth Graders enjoyed coming up with regatta-themed activities and songs. View photos from Kindergarten boat research and the Lower School pep rally>>

Watch our Kindergarten friends sing "The Oars on the Boat">>

Outdoor Amphitheater Project
Erik Saderholm, an Eighth Grader here at St. Anne's School, is building an outdoor amphitheater on our campus for his Eagle Scout project. Erik has already raised over $1,100, but he still needs help reaching his goal of $1,500. Please help support Erik by making a donation to fund his project. Donations can be given to the school. Please contact Hutchey Doley for information.
Light House Shelter Food Drive
Extended until Thursday, April 5  
Eighth Grader Colin Cassidy is organizing a food drive for his Eighth Grade Capstone Project. It is for the Light House Shelter, an organization that provides food for the hungry. Please consider helping those in need. This food drive is for the entire school, so everyone can get involved and all you have to do is bring some cereal, canned food, or other non-perishable items to school. The deadline to drop of food has been extended to April 5. There will be collection boxes placed in each Lower School homeroom and Middle School advisory. If St. Anne's students can reach our goal of donating 350 items, the whole school will be able to have a Dress Down Day to show our support for the cause!
Read and Feed Project
For his Capstone Project, Eighth Grader Kirk Caldwell is completing a project called "Read and Feed." Kirk is collecting books for Elementary and Middle School students to encourage them to read.

The donations will go tot he Robinwood Housing Library Project and to the Stanton Center of Annapolis. Novels that middle school boys would like would be particularly helpful, like Goosebumps, Hardy Boys, space adventures, etc. Reference books and dictionaries are also appreciated, as well as magazines.

He is also collecting healthy granola bars so that the kids will have something healthy to munch on while reading. Please put you items in the box located in the front lobby from March 15-April 15. Thank you for your help with this effort.
