“Wow! Another amazing week at St. Anne’s! This past Tuesday, we had Marc Kielburger come as a surprise guest speaker to our school. He gave us all an amazing sense of inspiration and rejuvenated our passion to continue with our social justice projects. We presented Marc with a cheque for $37,000 to build a high school for girls.  This would not have been possible without the support of our parishes.  Thank you! This upcoming week is Catholic Education Week. As part of this special week, student cabinet is planning on having an exciting event each day of the week. There is a retreat for our "God Squad" team on Monday, where we will be celebrating our faith at a cabin in the woods. Have a safe and blessed week! This is Cassidy and Scott signing out”.
