Patrons Meeting – Patrons are the fund-raising group for St. Anne’s School. The September meeting will be Monday, Sept. 15th at 7:00 P.M. in the school library. You are always welcome to attend. The Patrons’ goal for this school year is $45,000. This money is used to help with operating costs and is part of the school budget. The Patrons Board does need your help at their fund raisers to help raise these dollars. Please recall that each adult is asked to work a Patrons event. Fair share hours will be given for working at the Wine Tasting Event, Belgium Waffle Breakfast, Fish Fry and Golf Open. Hours were given to workers, except grade 5 families, which worked Pioneer Power in August. Funds earned at Pioneer Power will be going to grade 5 for their Environmental Learning Trip. Please see the enclosed letter from the Patrons Board.
