We are proud to announce that Saint Ann School is the first parochial or private school in Southwest Florida to be approved as a Blue Zone School. The Blue Zone ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Thursday, March 8, 2018. Present for the ribbon cutting were Dr. Allen Weiss President/CEO of Naples Community Hospital accompanied by members of the NCH Blue Zone committee. Dr. Weiss stated that Naples is one of 40 communities in the USA who have been certified Blue Zones. What began as an initiative for the year, focusing on nutrition, fitness and overall health throughout the school community, has culminated in a partnership with NCH and Saint Ann School as a Blue Zone approved school. The process involved an evaluation demonstrating proof of the initiatives which earned Saint Ann School 63 points for approval. Many of the items on the evaluation are new initiatives and some were already in place as part of our culture of well-being in the Saint Ann School community. Pictured are Dr. Weiss and Principal Mrs. Gina Groch at the ribbon cutting ceremony. At Saint Ann School Academic Excellence and Religious Values are the heart of our mission where we have been educating the Spirit, Mind and Body of our students since 1956.
