Dear SAS Families and Faith-Filled Friends,

As the Christmas season approaches, we are reminded of the joy of giving, the importance of gratitude, and the blessing of community. At St. Anne Catholic School, our faculty, staff, and administrators give so much of themselves to nurture our children academically, spiritually, and personally. Each year, the St. Anne Home and School Association invites families to join in the Teachers & Staff Christmas Fund, a tradition that allows us to honor their dedication in a meaningful way.

This fund directly benefits every employee of the school. Rather than giving individual gifts, families combine contributions that are then distributed as Christmas bonuses. This ensures that each member of our staff is recognized and celebrated. As Galatians 6:10 reminds us, “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, and especially to those who belong to the family of the faith.” Through this initiative, we have the opportunity to put that scripture into action.

Last year, through your generosity, we raised a record $43,659. We aim to match or surpass this achievement this year. This collective effort brought joy to those who work tirelessly for our children and strengthened the spirit of gratitude that defines our school community. We invite you to participate again this year. To meet our goal, an average contribution of $105 per family or $83 per child enrolled would be ideal, but any amount makes a difference. Each child who contributes will receive an ornament to decorate and present to a teacher or staff member of their choice. Families who participate will also be acknowledged in a letter to the staff and in the Wildcat Weekly.

To ensure timely processing through the diocesan payroll, all donations must be received by Sunday, November 30th. Online donations can be made at sasbmt.com/hometownticketing or by scanning the QR code below. Please make checks payable to St. Anne Catholic School, and note “T/S Christmas Fund” in the memo line.

Thank you for your continued support of this important tradition. Your generosity helps us celebrate and bless those who give so much of themselves to our children and our school.

With gratitude and holiday blessings,

Melissa Davison
