Principal's Message
Dear SFX Family,
It was great to see everyone in their Tuesday T-shirts today!
Now that the weather is getting cooler, I would like to remind you of the uniform policy on outerwear. School sweatshirts and sweaters that are monogrammed with the student's name may be worn at all times. Non-uniform outerwear may be worn to and from school but must be removed in the building. Girls may wear navy blue or black leggings that cover the ankle.
The Fall Book Fair is going great; thank you for your support! Please remember that this Friday, October 22 is a full, regular day of school. Teachers will be sending you information regarding conferences.
We look forward to the Parish Picnic this Sunday. All are invited! Please read through this week's newsletter for all of the new information!
Have a great rest of the week!
May God bless you and keep you,
Jessica

Fr. Joe's Tuesday Update
SFX School Community:
How about the gorgeous weather the last few days?!? It makes me so happy!
Click here for the October 19 Tuesday Email Update for Tuesday, October 19 with a note for Procrastinators.
The concert with Sarah Jane McMahon and Linden Uter was fantastic. Thanks to the crowd who attended.
The Mass honoring St. Joseph for the East Jefferson Deanery is this Saturday at 10 am in our Church. We will have guests from the area. I hope we have a strong turnout of our own parishioners to honor this amazing saint.
Our Family Picnic with its Cake-Decorating Contest and Costume Contest is this Sunday. Trunk or Treat is the Saturday after that.
Check the list of coming attractions. We have added a Parish Christmas Concert to the schedule for Sunday, December 19. Wait till you hear the details of the Concert and mark your calendars for 3 pm that Sunday.
Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a God-blessed week,
Father Joe
