 Jeans Day & Pep Rally
On Friday, Sept. 18th at 2:15 p.m., we will celebrate the beginning of our Soccer and
Volleyball season with a Pep Rally under the Pavilion. The band will play, the
teams will be introduced and the faculty will challenge the students in a
spirited game of volleyball. A section on the southeast
corner of the Pavilion will be reserved for parents who may wish to attend
before dismissal begins.
On that day, all Soccer Players,
Volleyball Players, Band Members and Cheerleaders will be allowed to wear their
jerseys or spirit shirts with their school uniform bottoms and uniform shoes.
We will also hold a fundraiser that
day to support our sports programs. All staff, faculty and students may pay
$2.00 to wear jeans, their favorite sports shirt and tennis shoes that day.
If the students wearing jerseys choose to wear jeans on that day, they will also
pay the $2.00 to participate in the jeans day. If you have questions, please contact the school office at 461-2232.

Pinwheels for Peace & International Day of Peace
|
As part of the International Day of Peace, 
St. Anastasia School Community is
participating in Pinwheels for Peace on September 21,
2009. Peace Day has marked our
personal and planetary progress toward peace and is celebrated across the world. Pinwheels
for Peace is an art installation project allowing students to express their feelings
about what's going on in the world and in their lives.
Our students have created pinwheels during their art time and students in 6th grade and pre-school will work together to "plant" the Pinwheels for
Peace in the Butterfly Garden and Courtyard. There will be a short Prayer Service and Blessing with Fr.
George and Fr. Mark leading us in prayer. Join us, if you can, to call attention
to the need for Jesus' healing peace in our world. All are welcome; please
check in at the Front Office for a visitor pass.
We are still in need
of parent volunteers to help with the installation & removal on that day. There will be two separate installations. The first installation will be in the
Courtyard from 9:55-10:15 a.m., and the second will
be in the Butterfly Garden from
11:25-11:45 a.m. The installation
will need to be disassembled after school between 3:00 and
4:00. Please e-mail Ms.
McCadden if you can help mmccadden@stanna.org .Thanks!
