Franklin Street, Barrington, IL 60010 847-381-0311 Fax 847-381-0384 www.stanneschootharrington.org Sister Ann Busch _Mrs. Donna Xonie Principal _Assistant Principal February 24, 2011 Dear Parishioners, I am going to retire from Saint Anne School at the end of this school year. It has been my privi- lege to be your principal for ten years. I feel I have been very blessed to be a part of St. Anne School and the parish community. Thanks to a wonderful spirit here at Saint Anne, much has been accomplished. We have cre- ated a positive environment which fosters the Catholic identity of the school. We have revised the curriculum and updated all the text books several times, expanded the foreign language de- partment to include Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, led the school through a successful evaluation with the Archdiocese and the state, been named a Blue Ribbon School in 2006 through the Department of Education, Washington, DC, expanded the use of technology through the building, initiated the Special Services program, and involved all teachers in strate- gic planning and workshops to meet the challenges in education today. I have had the opportunity to work with your children. They truly are treasures, and I have en- joyed seeing them grow into confident, kind, and generous young people. All this has been accomplished by a very talented, competent, and dedicated faculty and staff, School Board, Home and School Board, Athletic Board, and the cooperation of very supportive parents. I also want to thank the parish staff and the special people in the parish community who have walked this journey with me. They have supported me by their interest, their encouragement, and their prayers. I have had the opportunity and privilege of working with two outstanding pastors, Father Jack and Father Bernie, who gave me encouragement and supported me in my ministry. Saint Anne holds a very special place in my heart and prayers. It is my hope and prayer that everyone will continue to support the new principal.

Watch this box each week for updates of the PCM's work and answers to questions asked of PCM members. Parishioner Question: What is "Commitment Sunday"? I read about it in the PCM minutes. Answer: Commitment Sunday will take place the weekend following the Ministry Fair. You will have an opportunity to sign up or "commit" to a specific ministry after each of the Masses in the Gathering Space on Sunday, May 22nd. Presently, the PCM is working on developing a Discern- ment Worksheet. The worksheet will help you as you prayerfully consider what area(s) of parish life most interest you and where you may want to expand your spiritual gifts. YOUR participation breathes life into our parish's many ministries. c-Y-(nne- Angela Nordgren, PCM Chairperson PARISH COUNCIL t..” Contact the PCM: MINISTRIES • [email protected] • 847.620.3057 March 5th-6th FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION With humble acceptance and total trust, Mary Mass Time Presider embraced God's request of her to be the 5:15 p.m. Fr.
