The community the campus so many di erent areas to use in a eau ul se ng Rose Garden outdoor ed and the teachers.
St. Anne’s has al ays taught me to ork hard and do my est no ma er hat and think this ill help me succeed to my ullest poten al in high school.
At St. Anne’s learned the importance o communica ng ith my teachers and ho you can’t al ays gure everything out y yoursel . Learning this taught me it’s ok to ask or help and some mes more support is all you need.
A challenge overcame hile a ending St. Anne’s as CO D during my th and th grade years. St. Anne’s taught me to make the est out o every situa on even hen that situa on put a hold on your everyday li e. The main thing have learned rom St. Anne’s a out eing resilient is some mes all you have to do to overcome a challenge is put your head do n and ork through it. eel so ortunate to have gone to St. Anne’s here e ere a le to go ack to school in person.
St. Anne’s has shaped me to e ho am through the values taught y the teachers and sta and e empli ed y the students. They taught me things like kindness hard ork to e crea ve etc.
St. Anne’s has taught us that eing a community is coming together to support or achieve a common goal. Thinking ack there are an innumera le amount o goals that St. Anne’s as a community set out to achieve. Whether the goal is to e empathe c and inclusive or to e respec ul all students learn the importance o these values through the leadership o teachers and the e amples set y older students. One uni ue ay St. Anne’s gives older students and younger students a chance to connect is through their uddy system. Working ith younger students allo s the older students to prac ce eing good role models and ork ith people hom they may not have already kno n. By doing this e ring our community closer together y mee ng more people and learning more a out each other. A er my me at St. Anne’s ould de ne community as eing a part o a group o people ho respect you and support you.
My teachers have supported me as i e ere amily throughout my me at St. Anne’s. They never ailed to keep me in check and doing my est. also really value the rela onships uilt ith oth older and younger students. Being around the li les you kno you have to set a good e ample the younger kids are al ays looking up to the older kids.
St. Anne’s has given us countless opportuni es to do something or the e erment o society. From volunteer opportuni es like making sand iches to visi ng Clermont ark in nd grade St. Anne’s has ins lled in me the importance o giving ack to our community.
Thank you, Tillie!
