Slytherin and Ravenclaw tie for House Cup!!!

Miss Loomis' language class finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone this week.  One activity we had was competing for the House Cup.  Each house earned points for good behavior, participation, and turning in homework on time.  Today the winners were announced.  Slytherin and Ravenclaw tied for first place with 122 points.  Hufflepuff and Gryffindor tied with 103 points.  Their reward was a Little Ceasar's Pizza Party.  Congratulations to both groups!

1st Grade Writes Stories!




The first grade students have discovered the power of the written word!  They have started writing and illustrating their own stories.  Once finished they love being able to read them to the other students in the class.  They also get to read them to various teachers in the building.

Inaugural WinterFest is a big success!

On Saturday, December 10, 2011, we opened our doors for the inaugural WinterFest. The event ran from 12:00-6:00 and featured craft booths, Bingo and Loteria, Mexican food dishes (as well as Mr. Ron's pizza and hotwings) music, dancers, and children's games.

It is events such as this which truly showcase the spirit of Annunciation Catholic School. We are blessed to be a strong school and parish community. Special thanks to the members of the Parish council, school faculty, and School Advisory Committee (SAC) who helped make the event a big success.

Thanks to all the parishoners, parents and students who came out on Saturday. We hope you had fun!

Much to be thankful for!

November was a very busy month at Annunciation Catholic School, and we have much to be thankful for! 

Here are two events that we would like to highlight:

 On November 17th, we had close to 90 families represented at our  annual Grandparents' Lunch. Once again, Mr. Ron outdid himself and prepared a delicious Thanksgiving feast for our entire school community to enjoy! We are very appreciative in the role that our grandparents take in helping raise and  care for the students at Annunciation. We have many grandparents that support our school in other ways, through volunteering in the classroom, and driving on field trips.

Additionally, through the help of St. Anne's School, many of our families received a Thanksgiving food basket to enjoy over the holidays. We are always appreciative of the support our school community receives from other local parishes and schools.

Thank you to all those who love and help care for our school community! We are truly blessed and extremely thankful for your kindness.
