“Faith, service, and community” go beyond a slogan; rather, they guide our actions and shape the culture of our school. It’s not just what we say or do, but more importantly who we are.

These lived values shape and guide your home culture as well, ultimately blending the family God gave you with the family He’s placed around your children at St. Anne, creating the strongest school community in the area.

Whether serving gumbo at the school carnival, being the 1st grade mystery reader, or opening the door for a carpool takeover, you model faith, service, and community. You and your family are what make St. Anne so special and ensure that we, and the students, continue to thrive and grow.

“He has made everything beautiful in His time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 We are the school we have prayed and worked to become: strong, joyful, innovative, and vibrant. However, we only continue to be so through the constant pursuit of improvement.

Each year, we examine the student experience with a critical eye. We add, remove, and refine programs and priorities, then adjust the budget accordingly. Since tuition covers only a portion of those expenses, we rely upon your gifts to The ST. ANNEual Fund to cover the remainder.

Without The ST. ANNEual Fund, we are unable to offer tuition assistance to all families at St. Anne, totaling $1,189,625 for the 2025-2026 school year.

But perhaps the most critical use of The ST. ANNEual Fund this year was not planned at all. Within 24 hours of the tragic events in Minneapolis at the Annunciation Catholic School in August, our administrative team began implementing a comprehensive safety plan, including:

Additional police officer for detail at mass, recess, and The Giving Field ($80,000)
Phones in all classrooms ($17,100)
Updated and enhanced campus security system ($82,757.28)

It was $179,857.28 that we did not plan to spend, and I have no regrets. The safety of your children will always come first.

Whether a meticulously planned initiative or a response to an urgent need, our school simply cannot operate without your support of The ST. ANNEual Fund. You can trust that your gift will provide safety, build character, and cultivate curiosity in these formative years.

Please consider making a gift to The St. ANNEual Fund today to reap the benefits of tomorrow.

With gratitude,
Alison Kiker
