SAPA

Dear Families and Friends,

Welcome to the Saint Anne’s Parents Association’s (SAPA) page! This site
will be updated periodically to keep you informed about upcoming events.

Our purpose is to support the mission of our school by developing a positive and welcoming community among students, parents, faculty, and staff. We serve as the parental voice in the education process here at St. Anne’s. All parents are encouraged to attend our activities and events.

We hope to see you soon at a SAPA organized event!

Nisha Lodhavia and Katie MacMillan
SAPA Co-Presidents

What does SAPA do?

• We host meetings to discuss general parenting and educational issues. There are typically 4 SAPA meetings during the school year. The topics reflect the needs and interests of our parents as indicated by the parent survey.
• We also have Coffee Connections throughout the year. This provides an informal, smaller venue for parents to socialize and to discuss various topics.
• We host a book club for parents looking for another opportunity for fellowship and fun!
• Annually, SAPA sponsors the Fall Festival – a fun day filled with activities for St. Anne’s families.
• We work closely with teachers and staff to coordinate classroom volunteering opportunities.
• We work with Chaplain Howlett and other faculty members on community outreach. In the past this has included food drives, clothing drives and more.
• Grade-level parent socials
• Summer Family Picnic at Back to School Night
• Family Night at the Book Fair
