Nights contributed to PTO programs. *Estimate. PTO Fiscal Year 2021/22: July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022 The Church is so blessed to have Catholic schools shaping the lives, education, and faith of so many young people. Your contributions don’t go unnoticed!

Two years ago, during the height of Covid, we asked ourselves: “How can we make this work?” This year, we said: “Let’s make things happen.”

PTO is excited to bring back old favorites like Breakfast with Santa and Helping Hands, and create new favorites, e.g., Movie Night.

Thank you to all our supporters – parents, teachers and administration – who helped us provide opportunities to enhance the educational, spiritual and social lives of St. Anne students.

We estimate that PTO volunteers gave about 3,000 hours this year. But their love for our families, students and school is incalculable.
