OPEN HOUSE—THANK YOU
Our thanks to all of you who helped to make the start of Catholic Schools Week a success! Whether you baked, served, set-up, cleaned-up or attended, all of your efforts helped to make our Open House a wonderful, positive experience. We also acknowledge the hard work of the students and their teachers for the great display of Science projects. Many visitors complimented the Science Expo, other students’ work on display, the friendliness of the staff, and the school in general. All in all it was an exhilarating and uplifting day. This Open House was very well attended—the most in a long time.
MANY, MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT MADE IT HAPPEN!!
Many thanks also to the Family and School Committee for coordinating the exciting events and to all those who volunteered to carry them out! The activities for Catholic Schools Week include: Scholastic Book Fair, all school bingo, a variety of out of uniform fun days, an ice cream social, a special collection for Haiti, a Talent Show and an all school mass on Friday.
SPECIAL CLEAN-UP GROUP
Several parent volunteers got together on January 23rd to help clean the school hall and stairways. All the hard work, time and effort is very noticeable and very much appreciated. The support and pride that you take in your school is what makes Annunciata successful.

LENT
Lent gives us time to reflect and pray as we take a good look at ourselves. Join us on our journey with Jesus as we pray the Stations each Friday at 1:45 p.m. during Lent. Talk about Lent with your children. The story of Jesus can never be told enough. Each time it’s told, our lives are touched in different ways. Praying together as a family, at home and at mass, is a wonderful preparation for Easter.
