MESSAGE FROM FR. BRANDON: Parents, Students and Friends, I write to our School community with news of great joy! After much prayer and conversation with our God, and her beloved spouse Ken, Mrs. Herold has agreed to stay on as St. Anne’s School Principal through the end of school year 2018! I cannot tell you how grateful I am to Mrs. Herold for this most generous contribution of her time and talent to our School/Parish community, not to mention the sacrifice that all the members of her family have had to make with this responsibility. Mrs. Herold, as we know, is a very capable leader who handles the joys and challenges of day-to-day life in the School community with gentleness and grace. We are blessed to have her leading and forming our children. Thank you Mrs. Herold!! In addition to this wonderful news, and just when you thought things couldn’t be any better, Mrs. Mar has also agreed to continue on through school year 2018 as our Vice-Principal! As you know, Mrs. Mar is in the Master’s Credentialing program out of Notre Dame and is doing an absolutely tremendous job in her studies. I was recently told, through the grapevine, that the staff at Notre Dame sees in Mrs. Mar a tremendous leader and someone who could easily slide into the Principal’s position. We thank Mrs. Mar for the tremendous effort she expends for her own professional development and for the development that she is helping to lead within our school community. As you can see, there really is so much to be grateful for here at St. Anne’s School. The Lord is blessing us with the perfect “Disciple leaders” at the most perfect time. Many thanks to Mrs. Herold, Mrs. Mar, and to each of you for making our year, thus far, a truly special experience! Christ’s Peace, Rev. Brandon Ware Pastor
