Toy Drive and Coat Drive



Hello Families!
Third Grade is getting in the Christmas spirit by helping others this season! We have two events going on that will greatly help families in need!

1st: The St. Ann's Annual Toy Drive is taking place starting Monday. If you are able to bring a new, unwrapped toy to school sometime next week, the students can present them to Student Council and the gifts will adorn our Church altar throughout the weekend. All toys collected by students and parishioners will go to families in need this Christmas.

2nd: The third grade classes are conducting their own service project. We will be collecting gently used outerwear for men, women, and children of all sizes to go to shelters. If you find any sweaters or jackets that do not wear or do not fit, please bring them to school and we will send them to local shelters to keep families warm this winter season.

Thank you for all your help and generosity! We hope these service projects will help develop stewardship within our school community and your family. God bless you all and Merry Christmas!

Garden City Field Trip Fun!

We had so much fun today at our Field Trip in Garden City. We learned about many aspects of agriculture and even got to witness how cotton is picked, cleaned, and prepped for distribution. We want to thank the Glasscock County Cotton Gin Staff and all the volunteers who presented and provided lunch. A big thank you also goes out our parents who joined us today and helped with chaperoning and well as with refreshments. Here are some pictures and video that capture what we learned today.

Hey everyone! Here are some tips on problem solving in math. Hopefully it is helpful with tonight's homework and any in the future. Enjoy!
 


Garden City Tomorrow!

Hey Families! Don't forget that tomorrow is our Field Trip to Garden City. The bus will start loading promptly at 8:15 a.m. so please make sure we are all here on time. We will return around 3:30 p.m. so please park in the lot across the street from the church since we will not make it back in time to start carpool. We will all walk over to get our backpacks and belongings and then you may take your child home. If your child is going to afterschool, we will walk them over and send them to their afterschool teacher when we have completed the trip. We're looking forward to learning about agriculture tomorrow!
