Do you live in a community with a newsletter or Facebook page? Are you a member of a mom's group? We hope to spread the word to area families that might be interested in learning about St. Anne's School. See our Spread the Word section below for more details.

Open House (January 29,
9 - 11:30 am): Our Winter Open House is right around the corner. Spread the word to your friends and colleagues who want to learn more about our wonderful school community. Nothing is more successful in school promotion than parent word of mouth. Tour your friends yourself or join in another group. It is a great way to showcase our program, meet new friends and learn more about our school. For more information email Caroline Aras.

Siblings, Annapolis Twos, & Admissions: A quick reminder for families with siblings and/or Annapolis Twos currently not enrolled who may be considering applying for Fall 2014... we make admissions as easy and streamlined as possible for our current families. Contact Caroline Aras to discuss the sibling and Annapolis Twos admissions process. The earlier the better!

Spread the Word!: We have Open House flyers and road signs for any parents interested in supporting our Admissions Office by distributing these around town over the next few weeks. Contact Caroline Aras if you are interested and she will send the materials home with your child. To obtain artwork for electronic posts visit our website, right click, and download. When posting on social media feel free to tag us in your posts.

Thank you!

How far do guest speakers travel to talk with St. Anne's School students?

Pretty far if Middle School Spanish teacher Patty Kerwin is involved. Ms. Kerwin arranged for her father, Carlos Villamil, an engineer and historian from Bogot�, Colombia to visit with Fourth through Eighth Grade students. Mr. Villamil shared lessons on tourism and the economy in Colombia. Thank you Mr. Villamil, it was a privilege to have you at our School.

The Sixth Grade participated in the Federated Garden Clubs of Maryland Poetry Contest. This competition enables youth to embrace their creativity through the art of writing. Tim R. won the competition at the state level for his poem, Natural Feelings. His poem now moves on to the Central Atlantic Region competition, results for this competition will be available at the end of the month.

Congratulations Tim!
