Getting in to the Rhythm at Middle School Meeting
A special guest visited us last week at our Middle School Meeting. Diane Riccobene, a private music instructor in our Enrich Annapolis music program, displayed her breadth of skills, playing all different kinds of rhythms on the drums. Our Middle School students had fun guessing what style each rhythm was.  Take a look at the video and see if you can guess which is which!

We invite you to join the St. Anne's School community in our Run for Sarah on Saturday, November 17.

Sarah McMahon, a member of the St. Anne's School Class of 2009, fought a courageous battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) for almost a year, before succumbing to the effects of the disease and the treatment on July 13, 2012. The funds raised at the run will be used to establish the Sarah A. McMahon Scholarship. Through this scholarship, we hope to honor Sarah's spirit, her zest for life and commitment to service. We invite you to help us remember Sarah's life and legacy at this community event.
