SEPTEMBER NEWS 2013 WELCOME TO THE 2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR! All of the faculty and staff welcome our Annunciata School Families back for another great academic and spiritual year. In addition to our PK to 8 classroom programs we are proud to maintain music, art, computers, P.E. and Catapult (Title I). Very soon our Keyboard and Band programs will also resume. In fact, band recruitment was on August 26th, but there is still time to join. You can sign-up on line at www.bandfortoday.com. As you can see, we have a full staff that will provide a complete and well-rounded curriculum for our students from PK through grade 8. Why not help us celebrate the New Year by joining us at the “Back to School Mass” on Friday, September 6th at 8:00 a.m. Grades 1-8 will attend, the students should go directly to the church at 7:50 a.m. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve your children and for your support!

Once turned in, students earn an out of uniform day in September, date to be announced. In addition, September’s collection sheet will be due on September 26, 2013.
