Boss’s Day Surprise for Principal Brandi Lumley

St. Ann School students and teachers surprised Mrs. Lumley with a song and this large card. It reads:

Saint Ann Catholic School would like to thank you for all the Mounds of work you do! We really

wanted to give you a 100 Grand piece but on this Payday our cash literally slipped through our

Butterfingers away. So we agreed on a Starbucks card since it’s what we see you drink. Thank you

for always going the Extra mile, you’re such a blessing to our school. So whenever you are

having a Sour Patch day please know that you can count on us Goobers to get you through your day. Chocolate is definitely not your thing, but us Airheads thought you’d get a good laugh out of it. Enjoy your day as you pull and peel your favorite

Twizlers away.

Happy Boss’s Day to our World’s Finest principal from all of us Nerds.

Our St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry was blessed to be the recipient of a $2,000 grant from the Ascend Cares Foundation. Thanks to the Ascend Corporation and to parishioner Dale Borths for applying for the grant for the benefit of SVdP. These funds will help feed many people!

Stewardship

One way to be poor in spirit is to realize that you really own nothing. Everything you have is a gift from God. Material possessions are yours to share and to use for the glory of God.

Additions to our Prayer List: Devon Stewart those suffering in any way as a result of the

COVID 19 pandemic
