Technology News
| Thank you to the many parents who have come together to help provide the AV systems in our classrooms. Last week we presented an opportunity to place ten new systems in classrooms this summer with your help. The systems each cost approximately $4,000 and the school has matching funds available for these systems. We are able to provide matching funds because of a generous donation made to the school years ago in the form of a CD. The CD has matured and funds are now available.
The systems will be placed in the classrooms as donations are made. Your family or business would be acknowledged with a permanent plaque and the system would be placed in the room of your choice. We are working towards installing these A/V Systems in each classroom.
Since last week, we have commitments to place these systems in both first grade classrooms and both third grade classrooms. Opportunities are still available for kindergarten, fourth grade, one fifth-grade classroom and all middle school classrooms. Additionally, the systems can be placed in specialists rooms if requested by the donor. If you are interested in helping with this project, please contact Linette Trabulsy at ltrabulsy@stanna.org.
These easy-to-use, network-enabled, all-inclusive A/V systems are ideal for high-tech learning and teaching! The systems include a ceiling-mounted LCD projector, screen, speakers, Internet connectivity with existing computers and a DVD/VCR. All components are mounted, connected and controlled through the system.
Please consider this unique, one-time donation, that the school will match, to enhance your child's learning experience next year and will continue to enhance many student's learning experiences for years to come!

Principal for the Day
| |
Congratulations to Pre-kindergarten student Jesse Priest as she was Principal for the Day on Thursday, May 19! Jesse's mom, Karina, won the Principal for the Day silent auction item at this year's Night for the Children Auction and Dinner. With this honor, Jesse was able to join Dr. Hoeffner on St. A Live, help the 8th graders ring the bell and attend the 8th grade farewell mass with Dr. Hoeffner.
Jesse did a great job as acting Principal, but was ready to get back to being a Pre-K student -- she didn't want to miss out on playground time!
Congratulations to Jesse Priest, our Principal for the Day on Thursday, May 19!
