Saint Ann Catholic School

Last weekend was filled with graduation celebrations across the area! This photo features some familiar Saint Ann alumni from the Classes of 2021 and 2022. From graduates preparing for their next chapter in college to an alumna sharing advice after completing her first year, it was wonderful to see the bonds formed at Saint Ann remain strong long after graduation!

After decades of inspiring students and enriching our school community, we celebrate the retirement of Ms. Leslie Healy.

Ms. Healy's Saint Ann journey began as a parent, with her three children attending the school over a span of 10 years. She then joined the faculty, teaching 4th grade for two years before taking on a newly created role during Sr. Elizabeth's tenure as principal: Language Arts Enrichment Teacher. For the next 22 years, she helped students discover the joy of reading, writing, and storytelling.

Beyond the classroom, Ms. Healy shared her talents through the Saint Ann Variety Show, first as its director and later as the trusted keeper of the stage curtain behind the scenes.

Ms. Healy loved teaching and loved her students. Now, after helping generations of children write their own stories, she is ready, much like the ending of a good book, for a new chapter of her own.

This photo, taken at our recent graduation ceremony, captures one of the greatest gifts of a teaching career: standing alongside alumni whose lives she helped shape and whose success she helped nurture.

Thank you, Ms. Healy, for your years of dedication, creativity, and care. We wish you every happiness in retirement!

Celebrating the Saint Ann 8th Grade Class of 2026!
Last week, we gathered to honor our graduates and send them forth with prayers, pride, and excitement for what lies ahead. A special thank you to Saint Ann alumnus Fr. Collins, Georgetown University History Department Chair, for sharing an inspiring message with our students. Congratulations, graduates! We can't wait to see what comes next.

A heartfelt thank you to the Saint Ann Catholic School Class of 2026 for your thoughtful and lasting gift to our school community, a beautiful Friendship Bench!
The color is perfect, the plaque is spot on, and most importantly, it serves as a wonderful reminder that while our graduates may move on to new adventures, the Falcon spirit remains forever.
Thank you for leaving a legacy that will inspire friendship and school pride for years to come. Falcons Forever!

Last week, our Saint Ann 8th graduates officially passed the light of leadership on to the rising 8th grade class during our Pass It On Ceremony. We are so proud of our 8th grade graduates and look forward to seeing our current 7th graders (rising 8th) step up as the new leaders of our school!

To celebrate their new roles, the students enjoyed a festive taco lunch and spent the afternoon signing yearbooks and school polo shirts. The school spirit was unmatched!

Our 4th and 5th grade students enjoyed a field trip to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Students explored the architecture, history, and attended Mass. Thank you to the parent volunteer chaperones who helped to make this trip a success

Looking back at last Tuesday's Preschool Field Day! Our youngest students enjoyed a morning filled with games, and fun. A special thank you to Mr. Norcross, our PE teacher, for planning the event, and to our 8th grade students, who did a great job running the games, encouraging the preschoolers, and keeping everyone on task throughout the morning.
