Pizza Ranch Fundraiser
The marathon committee is very grateful to those that came and supported St. Anne’s at the Pizza Ranch last Wed. evening. The manager and committee was very pleased with our turnout. We made $90. in tips!
Marathon
Tomorrow is our marathon! Please remember that the students will be staying after school. At 2:55 they will gather in their Celebration Circle and will be treated to a beverage and snack and be given a bathroom break before we begin! We will gather outside the office door by the pole for a short pep rally and prayer. We will walk from 3:30 to 5:00, rain or shine! We will have a picnic lunch in the cafeteria following the walk. After everyone has been served the committee will announce the awards! Clean up help will be appreciated. We hope to have everyone on their way home by 6:00 P.M. or sooner! Think marathon!
