Nothing says school spirit like the students at St. Anne School in Hanmer! Early each September, the school joins forces with OnSite Sports Wear to allow students to purchase t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts with the school’s name, the school’s angel mascot, and extra stencils which the children themselves can choose. The promotion helps students to “display, not just say” how proud they are to be attending their valley school within the Sudbury Catholic System. Allowing the children to also pick their stencils and decide where they want to place them on their shirts helps each item of clothing to have that personal touch. After all, St. Anne School is a family of students and teachers, where each student is recognized for the individuality they bring to the group. Each child helps to make our school setting a better place! Way to go Angels!

St. Anne Catholic School in Hanmer is known as the “home of the angels”. During the past week, St. Anne School welcomed its newest little angels. First year students within the Early Learning Kindergarten Program began their staggered enrolment into the program bright and early Monday morning. According to their parents, Jody O’Daiskey, Andre Bertrand, and Melanie Anzil, their children have been excited, anxious and ready to go! In fact, they were so anxious that Anthony and Celyna wanted to join older siblings who began their school year on September 6th.

Early Learning Kindergarten teachers along with Early Childhood Educators within the English and French Immersion program were outside meeting parents and busses and greeting their new students on their first official day of school. Both staff and
students within this Sudbury Catholic school recognize and consider their newest friends as nothing short of angellic. What a great way to start the school year. Welcome little angels!
