Dear Visitor:
Welcome to our web-site!
We hope you enjoy your visit. If you are considering a Catholic school for the education of your child, we hope that you choose St. Anne’s.
Our school provides a setting where every child is precious. Through our value-centered curriculum and dedicated teachers, we are able to place positive influences on the choices made by St. Anne students. We believe that the teachings of Christ are the central focus of our school and the teaching of the Catholic faith is the prime focus of all that we do here at St. Anne School. Virtues and values inherent in Catholic teachings are presented in such a way that they are fundamental to the child’s learning experience. This is exemplified through the religion classes in which our students participate. Students experience learning about the Catholic faith in class and whole-school masses and by the overall way our teachers treat and teach the students in general. The result of this teaching carries through and is readily apparent among our students; they noticeably have a sharing and caring attitude among themselves and with others.
St. Anne students are happy, cheerful and eager to learn. They are high achievers as witnessed by the fact that they not only do well here but carry through with their academic achievements in high school and beyond. They consistently achieve excellent grades and Terra Nova Test Scores. Our latest test scores indicate that they are well above the national average on all accounts. Our students are very involved in community service activities, individually and in groups. They have participated in Bristol Faith in Action and contribute time, talent, and treasure to disaster relief programs. Many of our students visit local nursing homes, correspond with soldiers, put together “care packages,” give lunch to firefighters and participate in Operation Eradication and Operation Rice Bowl.
Parents are the primary educators of their children and this carries through at St. Anne’s School where parental involvement is very strong. We encourage our parents to join the PTO to help with the many projects they have to assist our school with the procurement of many items we might otherwise not have. Parents volunteer in the cafeteria, classrooms, on field trips and in the office, as examples. St. Anne’s has the strong backing and support of our Pastor and an excellent parish. We offer many activities to bring the families together here at the school, ranging from our annual Autumn Jamboree to our family picnics. Our parents and students, together with our teachers, form a team where friendship pervades. The school is involved in the community as evidenced through participation in the Chamber of Commerce and local activities such as the annual Rhythm and Roots celebration in the fall and the nationally sponsored auto races that happen in the spring and summer at the local racetrack. Our school is well known in the Bristol community. Many of our graduates have attended the Bristol Youth Leadership program sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and have evolved into successful community leaders.
We maintain a high standard for our students, faculty and staff. The faculty and staff at St. Anne School are well-trained, having excellent qualifications for their positions. Over two-thirds of our faculty has attained master’s degrees. All are certificated. The discipline at St. Anne School calls for our students to have a high standard of respect for authority. As a result, St. Anne students are well-behaved, respectful and friendly.
We offer the following opportunities for our students to excel beyond the classroom:
Beta Club Choir Cross Country
Student Council Cheerleading Art Club
Yearbook Basketball Volleyball
The Bottom Line: St. Anne Catholic School offers an academically strong, value-centered, caring environment with a strong Catholic centered faith program. Come, join us!
Spirituality, strong family and student involvement here and in the greater community, excellence in academic achievement, the maintenance of high standards for students, faculty and staff, and extra-curricular programs all make your choice of St. Anne Catholic School a smart investment for your child’s future!
Sincerely,
Richard Fenchak, Ed.D.
Principal
