What most makes Saint Ann School a Catholic/Christian place to be?

1. Well, everything. Our uniforms, which show we are Catholic by looking neat and tidy. When you come into our school, there are statues of Jesus and Mary throughout the halls. We go to church every other Friday and have religion class everyday. This shows that we want to learn about our faith. During Lent, we have special announcements on the speaker. In Advent, we light a candle every Monday morning to prepare for the birth of Jesus. We are Catholic in so many ways, but above all, we praise God by having a loving atmosphere.  (Anna K.)
   

2. The thing that makes Saint Ann School most Catholic is its prayers. If someone walked into our school in the morning during announcements, they would hear Ms. Cosgriff’s voice saying the meaningful reflection of the day. If someone walked in right before lunch, they would hear the classes saying the prayer “Bless Us O Lord” thanking God for our food. If someone walked in at the end of the day, they would heat the students saying the “Act of Contrition” asking mercy for their sins that day. Saint Ann School’s prayers are what make it most Catholic.  (Katie K.)
   

3. Religion makes St. Ann Catholic School a place to be.  We learn about Jesus, his life and important events in his life, including the miracles.  We are learning about the Sacraments.  I think religion class is fun and interesting.  (Regan A.)
   

4. Saint Ann School is welcoming.  The people here are nice and helpful.  (David B.)
   

5. We pray many times a day.  We have religion class in which we learn about God and Jesus every day.  (Taryn W.)

What makes junior high so cool at Saint Ann School?

1. The one thing that separates Saint Ann School’s junior high from other junior highs is the people.  No matter what type of person you are, you will fit in somewhere.  Whether you like sports or are an actor, there are many people just like you.  The thing that separates Saint Ann School from other junior highs is the diverse people here, assuring you will fit in somewhere.  (Jacob R.)
