Ash Wednesday marks the start of the Holy season of Lent. This morning our school community come together to receive ashes.

Our fourth graders just finished their projects on the California Missions, and they were proud to share what they’ve learned!
The missions are not just symbols of California’s Spanish history, but of the profound injustices faced by indigenous people. By studying the missions, students gained a deeper appreciation for their state’s past, its cultural evolution, and the long-lasting impact of these historical sites.
Several students even visited a mission over the break. These visits gave students a chance to bring history to life in the most exciting way!
Welcome back, students and staff!
We hope your winter break was filled with joy and relaxation. Let’s make the rest of the 2024-2025 school year one to remember! Here’s to a happy, productive, and inspiring semester ahead. #SaintAnnePride #NewYearNewGoals #WelcomeBack”
