Issuu

Together, we are building the future of St. Anne's. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, we have now secured more than $11 million toward our new Middle School project, including $8.95 million in philanthropic commitments and $2.3 million invested by the school. Each new commitment reflects a shared belief in our mission and in the promise of what this project will make possible.

As our campaign continues to grow, it has been a joy to welcome new donors, celebrate significant milestone gifts, and see so many members of our community step forward in support of this vision. I am especially grateful to our Campaign Co-Chairs, Vickie Puchi and Molly Engles, and to our Campaign Cabinet, whose leadership, generosity, and steadfast commitment continue to inspire others and propel this effort forward

Every gift, every conversation, and every act of support is helping shape the future of St. Anne's. Thank you for believing in this vision and for helping us create a Middle School home that will serve students and families for generations to come. Go Cyclones!

FEATURED SPACE

The Commons & Social Stair

At the heart of the new Middle School will be the Commons and Social Stair a welcoming gathering space designed to foster connection, collaboration, and community. More than a circulation area, this flexible space will serve as a hub for student life, supporting everything from informal conversations and group work to presentations, assemblies, and celebrations.

The Commons reflects an important goal of the project: creating opportunities for students to learn from one another and build relationships across grade levels. The Social Stair, in particular, will provide a natural place for students to gather, connect, and engage in the shared experiences that help define the Middle School years.
