To wrap up our Human Body Unit, we invited Mrs. Shutter, our Special Education Coordinator, to our 3rd-grade classroom as a special guest speaker. Mrs. Shutter shared information about hearing disabilities and explained how people with hearing differences communicate and navigate daily life. She also discussed ways individuals can overcome challenges and achieve their goals. The best part was that she gave us a challenge to learn sign language! We learned 100 signs in 5 minutes.

Last night, the Board of Education officially approved our comprehensive 2026–2031 Strategic Plan! This community-informed blueprint will guide our schools for the next five years as we solidify St. Anne as Kankakee County's premier "Destination District."
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to give every child a personalized, challenging, and supported path to success by always putting Relationships First.
Here is a quick look at our 5 Pillars of Success:
📚 Student Success: Raising baseline
expectations in Reading and Math while expanding College & Career Readiness Pathways.
💼Staff Excellence: Investing in high-quality professional learning to build staff capacity for excellent instruction.
💰 Finance: Ensuring absolute fiscal stability, responsibility, and transparency.
🏫 Operations & Systems: Modernizing our facilities, including athletic fields, elementary gym floors, the playground, and restrooms.
🤝 Community & PR: Launching a strategic marketing campaign to celebrate our small class sizes and tight-knit family atmosphere to welcome new families!
We are also explicitly committed to shaping graduates who communicate skillfully, demonstrate integrity, learn actively, think critically, remain future-ready, and engage passionately as informed citizens looking out for their community.

2nd Grade went on a field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry today!
Each quarter of the year, 5th-grade students read a book of their choice. Then, at the end of the quarter, they do a book project about the book that they read. For their 4th quarter book project, students made a poster about their book, made a 3D model of something in their book, and could dress up as something from their book. Parents and families, as well as 3rd and 4th-grade classes, were invited to check out all of the hard work from the 5th graders. It was a great turnout, and the 5th graders did a wonderful job presenting their projects.
Congratulations to our 8th grade Class of 2026 on their graduation! 🟢🎓
