CHILD MAKES DECLARATION: GIVE ME BOUNCIES...PLEASE

Last year, after surveying children unscientifically, it was discovered that KIDS LOVE BOUNCIES. No one was shocked by this news so the recent statement made by a local four-year old (pre-schooler at St. Anne’s School) did not surprise the administration: “Give me bouncies on Spirit Day…please.”

Now, if she had not said please, there may have been hesitation. But powers that be could not resist after her use of polite interjection and decided to continue to have bouncies for the 13th year in a row at Spirit Day.

“There are certain entertainment traditions that must be upheld at Spirit Day,” observed Monsignor Thomas Harold, St. Anne’s Pastor and Spirit Day enthusiast. “The possibility of winning a goldfish. The availability of vast amounts of sugary substances including sweets and cotton candy. Opportunities to soak friends and families in the dunk tank. And the bouncy tradition must too be upheld.”

Adults can also find their own fun at Spirit Day with a Craft Fair, great food and desserts including zeppoles and live music.

The Church of St. Anne hosts its 13th annual Spirit Day on Saturday, September 19, 2015 from 1-10pm with rides, games and music all day and evening. The day is highlighted with a beautiful celebration of Mass outdoors at 5pm and the exciting Big Bucks Raffle drawing at 10pm. Additional Big Bucks tickets are always available at the rectory or you may call and we will be happy to mail one to you. For more information on the Middle School Dance Party or other activities of the day, please call the Saint Anne’s Rectory at (516) 352-5904 or visit www.stannesgc.org.
