As the faculty of St. Ann School gathered on Tuesday, Aug. 1, for a meeting before the start of the new school year, they all donned new T-shirts that simply said, “Yo (amo) las escuelas Católicas” or “I (love) Catholic schools” with a Sacred Heart in the place of the word for love.
It was the perfect outward symbol of the work to come with the beginning of the year on Monday, Aug. 7, as St. Ann works tirelessly to bring belonging and empowerment to its growing Hispanic community.
This year, 15 percent of the school’s students include non-English speakers or students who consider English to be their second language, most of whom are Hispanic. It’s a jump from the less than 2 percent the previous school year.
