Catholic Schools Week was a fantastic success! Last week we showed you pictures of the saints and holy characters that came to school on Monday. We also shared pictures of the many grandparents and parents who joined their children for masses and breakfast on Tuesday and Wednesday. A special THANK YOU to SLA Management for providing the breakfast and coffee both days.

On Thursday, we took an aerial photo of our human "Armor of God" and then enjoyed the Fish Fry dinner with our friends and family! On Friday, it was "Hats off to Students and Faculty Day" and our annual Jog-A-Thon!

Again, we'd like to thank everyone who participated in our joyous, faith-filled week and a special "Thank You" to everyone who made the decision that Catholic Schools provide "Dividends for Life!"

The annual Jog-A-Thon was awesome! We were blessed with beautiful weather and tons of enthusiastic volunteers and student joggers! We were able to raise nearly $20,000 in pledges for the school...so when you see that pledge invoice in your mailbox, please submit your payment as soon as possible. The top classes, who each will win a pizza and movie party, were Mrs. Noelke's class and Mr. Eakins' class. Congratulations! And thank you all for your continued support of St. Anastasia Catholic School!

Catholic Schools Week T-shirts for children and adults are still available through the school office and uniform store. The t-shirts are $10 each and feature the full-color Catholic Schools Week logo on the back and the St. Anastasia crest on the front.  Get one before they are all gone!
