Crusader Chronicle
March 2023
Dear Crusader Families,
The students have been asking me when they are allowed to start wearing shorts to school. Mother Nature has blessed us with temperatures that are making it feel like Spring/Summer. Even the tulips and daisies are blooming.
The answer to the question is April 1. Starting Apri 1, the students will be able to wear khaki shorts, of appropriate length, skirts, and jumpers. If there is a cold day in April or May, that students may wear pants as well.
The conversations have also brought up other uniform questions and discussions such as Crusader Spirit Wear attire and what is allowed to be worn as part of the school uniform. Below is the School Uniform Policy from the Student Handbook. Under the policy is a description of what could occur if the School Uniform policy is not being followed. If there are any questions regarding the School Uniform, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
There are a lot of fun activities planned during March and April. Please take time to read all of the information below.
Many thanks to the Fish Fry Committee for all they have been doing to make the Fish Fry events a success! All money raised will go to support the Athletics program at St. Francis de Sales Parish/School.
Career Day information is listed below. The date will be Wednesday, April 5. The time has been updated from 1:00-3:00 p.m. There is a link below to sign up as a classroom presenter. If you have materials you would like to pass out to all of the students, we will have tables set up the Gym for a Career Fair, after the Classroom Presentations occur. The K-8 students will be scheduled to come to the Career Fair and pick up the materials between 2:00-3:00 p.m.
Many thanks, as always, for all you do to support the school!
Gratefully,
Sarah Bitzer
Principal

UPCOMING EVENTS
Lenten Service Project
Many thanks to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur for coming to speak with our students about the Clean Water for Life program today. The students saw what other students in the world have to do to receive clean drinking water. The students participated in a dirty to clean water experiment.
The Valentine's Candy grams raised $375 which will be added to the Clean Water for Life service project fund. All money raised at the Shamrock Shop next week will go to help the Sisters provide clean drinking water for people around the world. More information about the Shamrock Shop can be found below.
