• Mrs. Becky Springsteen will be moving to Middle School Language Arts and will be our Language Arts Department Chair.
• Mrs. Keri Barton will teach 5th grade.
• Mrs. Paula Stapleton will be the new unit chair for grades 3-5.
• Mrs. Linda Schildwachter will return to 2nd grade next year.
• Mrs. Dana Fischbeck will move the Enrollment Coordinator position. 
• Mrs. Calise Munne has accepted the middle school Social Studies position for next year. Mrs. Munne has been teaching Social Studies to 7th grade students at Southern Oaks Middle School. She has also taught at St. Andrews Academy. Mrs. Munne has been a substitute at St. Anastasia from 2012-2013. She was the Department Chair for the Civics teachers at Southern Oaks and brings innovative and creative teaching tools with her to this position.

We are currently working on filling the Middle School Science position.

Reagan is in Mrs. Smith's kindergarten class. Her favorite subject is music. Her favorite song is My Country. The thing she is looking forward to in first grade is art class. She has two brothers, Tyler and Cole. Her favorite color is pink and she enjoys playing outside with her cousins. She plans to go to the beach this summer! Sounds great, Reagan! Thank you for being a great Student of the Day!

On their last full day of school, the 8th grade was treated to lunch by Big Apple Pizza! Thank you Big Apple!

Congratulations to Mrs. Steele's 2nd grade class - they won this year's Box Top Challenge. Their class brought in 2,771 Box Tops this year! They win the opportunity to Silly String Mrs. O'Loughlin next Thursday! The PTO collected $2,307 from Box Tops for Education this year. Thank you for your continued support and keep collecting Box Tops over the summer!

St. Anastasia Church and School has been blessed over the last year to have our seminarian Daniel Daza-Jaller. He will be leaving us at the end of May and on the weekend of May 21st- 22nd, Daniel will be saying his goodbyes and thanking the St. Anastasia community during all weekend Masses.

Please join us on Sunday, May 22nd after the 9:30am Mass for a reception in the parish center to thank and honor Daniel for all he has done for our community over the past year. Please pray for Daniel as he continues the formation process in the seminary for priesthood.
