🟢GIANTS IN THE CLASSROOM🟢 5th graders worked on a new strategy in reading called "Round Robin". This is when students are given a topic or a question, a minute to think and write down ideas, and then they go in a circle sharing answers that they came up with. They used the round robin technique to practice finding text evidence in their chapter book called Hound Dog True. #TheSAGSway

Good Evening St. Anne Families, Out of an abundance of caution, St. Anne Schools will not be in session on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, due to the anticipated timing of the potential winter storm for our area and possible poor road conditions during dismissal times. As of now, we anticipate being in session on Thursday, February 13, 2025. If any changes regarding this are necessary we will update you as soon as possible. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority as these decisions are made. Please be safe. Thank you for your continued support.
