They’re finally here—the crisp,
cool fall mornings with low humidity, cloudless skies, weather
conditions that beckon us outdoors. But also outdoors are
blooming ragweed, goldenrod,
and things that make us go
“achoo!” Above, “Mac” is properly covering his mouth as he sneezes, which helps squelch the spread
of SOME germs. Or is his sneeze
an allergic reaction?
How do you tell if your child has
a cold or suffers from allergies?
Use the handy chart (left) that can
help you determine at a glance
whether your student likely has a
contagious virus or an immunesystem response resulting in allergies. Treatments are different for
the two as well.

Third Grade Leads School in
Praying the Living Rosary
The word rosary comes from Latin and means a garland of roses, the rose being
one of the flowers used to symbolize the Virgin Mary.
http://www.catholic.com/tracts/the-rosary
On Tuesday of this week, the parish hall filled with the student body, faculty,
parents, grandparents, and guests who joined third graders in praying the rosary, a devotion honoring the Virgin Mary. The rosary prayers come mainly
from the Bible.
Third graders took turns leading the five decades of Hail Marys, Glory Bes, Our
Fathers, as the audience responded in unison. Students formed a rosary chain,
and each student placed a rose in a vase after they introduced and led their
prayer. This very beautiful tradition is always well-attended and guests are impressed with the reverence shown by the St. Anne students during the service.
A special thank you to third grade teachers Marie Roux, Suzanne Steptoe, Sami
Thibodeaux, as well as volunteer parents for a beautiful presentation.
Pictured at left are Ms.
Roux and her homeroom students.
Below: Ms. Steptoe
and her students.
Below: Mrs. Thibodeaux
and her third graders.
All ages come to pray the rosary. And those too little to say
or know the prayers are very watchful of the soft lighting,
deep red roses, students’ readings, and students’ procession
around the rosary “chain” as they return to their seats after
reading.
Coach fOR the Day
Once again, Coach Andrew Falgout came to work but let his “Coach for the
Day” assume coaching responsibilities! On Monday, first grader Cane Paschal led St. Anne School’s PE classes and kept the gym in good order.
Cane revealed in his pictures, however, how exhausting the job could be;
but he would gladly help out again should the need arise.

CARNIVAL IS HERE!
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor hail will
stop the Saint Anne Carnival!
With heavy rains predicted for this Saturday and Sunday, Carnival
organizers and school officials met Wednesday afternoon and
made the executive decision that “the show must go on.” With the
possibility of such severe weather moving through and dumping
flooding rains on Southeast Texas, organizers had considered
postponing the Carnival until Saturday, October 31, the following
weekend, to ensure at least a modicum of success since it is our
largest fundraiser.
But given permission to use the parish hall if needed to house
many of the activities that normally would be set up outdoors,
the decision to keep the already scheduled date and time came
more easily. So tomorrow from 11 am to 4 pm, the Carnival season’s grand finale, the 2015 Carnival, the event we have looked forward to since last
year’s Carnival ended, will happen!
Enjoy some pictures of this busy week’s activities!

Two office workers whose faces were
purposely hidden so as NOT to embarrass their children, practice the Thriller
Dance before the pep rally so they “will
remember it and be good at it.” Unfortunately, their practice did not pay off, and
rumor has it that their children have
changed their names and are dressing
incognito.
As much as I hate
to admit it, the faculty dancers were
actually pretty
good! Now, I would
never recommend
that they quit their
day jobs, but they
didn’t come off as
uncoordinated buffoons with two left
feet! That’s as complimentary as I can
get!
And the band played on . . . And did a great job!

ANNOUNCEMENT
Stacey Savino-Philmon, Music Teacher,
is Now on Board!
After a long search for a music teacher who will lead students ages 4to 14-year olds in music classes, church services, and schoolwide performances, our prayers were answered! Stacey Savino-Philmon happily signed on the dotted line this past week. She is already working in
the music room arranging the tools needed to teach music at the various
levels, and groups of students originally assigned
to music but unable to
take it without a teacher,
will have their schedules
rearranged so that many of
them may begin their music elective this Monday,
October 26.
Mrs. Philmon grew up in
Beaumont and graduated
from Beaumont Charlton
Pollard High School. She
attended Lamar for one
year and then was accepted at the Boston Conservatory where she received a bachelor of fine arts in musical theatre and a minor in acting.
She has traveled the United States with touring companies, singing and
performing and loving it until her daughter Ava began attending school.
She is married to Jeff Philmon and they have a daughter Ava, 16, and
an 11 year-old son Nicholas who both attend Hamshire Fannett. Nicholas recently performed in the Kidmunity production of The King and I,
which is how Mrs. Philmon learned of the need for a music teacher at
St. Anne.
Besides stage performances (Lady Bird Johnson attended Stacey’s performances in Austin and became an avid fan!), she has taught private
voice and piano lessons and owned her own studio, Savino Voice Studio here in Beaumont. So if you run across a pretty, tiny brunette lady
who looks as though she just stepped off a Broadway stage, say hello to
and welcome Mrs. Philmon; and don’t underestimate the powerful
voice of such a petite person!
