The Weekly Howl
St. Francis Catholic School - Monday, May 31st
Dear SFCS Parents & Friends,
I hope everyone has been enjoying this beautiful long weekend!
Last week was a very special and busy one. It began with many of our 8th graders being confirmed, the 2nd graders performing the annual May Crowning, 6th grade performing their play, 7th grade hosting their annual International Festival and ending with our 8th Grade graduation! It was a lot but made our last 5 day week of the year move quickly!
It is hard to believe that we are entering the last week of an unprecedented school year. We made it! Don't forget that Friday is the last day and it will be a 11:30am Early Dismissal. 4th Quarter Report Cards with MAP Scores and other items will be mailed home during the week of June 7th - 11th.
We are looking forward in spending our last week together at SFCS! I will be sending another Howl out next weekend wrapping up the last week of school and providing information about summer.
Have a great remainder to your Memorial Day Weekend!
Sincerely in Christ,
Brian Pope
Principal

A LIMITED TIME OFFER….Discounted SFCS Athletics Sponsorships!
With our school celebrating its 25th Anniversary next year, the faculty and staff are working hard to make it the best year ever at SFCS! In addition to replacing outdated equipment and ordering new uniforms on a cyclical basis, the Athletic Department is currently working on several new projects. A couple of these changes include the possibility of bringing back the Baseball Program as well as, starting up a Softball Program next spring for the girls. As with anything new, there are always initial start-up costs to consider.
As the SFCS’s new Athletic Director, I feel that a strong Athletic Program provides a perfect balance to the child’s overall St. Francis experience and should work in harmony with the outstanding academic core curriculum and Art Department. I am reaching out to you, and asking that your family or business consider joining the “Booster Club” by purchasing one of the Sponsorship Packages. All monies from these sponsorship packages go directly to the Athletic Department!
To further incentivize new sponsors to join the Booster Club, I am offering a 10% discounted rate from the listed price if your payment is received by next Friday, June 4th. When you fill out the attached form, just subtract 10% from any of the listed prices and submit your check for the discounted price. Payments must be submitted by check only next week to receive the discount. For those of you that order a gym banner, I will be in touch over the summer to go over the specifics of your banner.
I’m excited about the changes that will roll out next year in the Athletic Department and look forward to a great year of celebrating the 25th anniversary of our school!! Please don’t hesitate to email me at mweaver@sfcshhi.com if you have any questions.
GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY IS COMING BACK NEXT YEAR!! So excited to announce that we have close to (15) young ladies ready to run for SFCS next year. Hope to be able to announce the coach next week!
STILL LOOKING FOR COACHES…Basketball, Soccer, Baseball and Softball…if you have experience in those sports and are interested in helping out next year, please email me at mweaver@sfcshhi.com. Coaching is a great opportunity for our high school students to give back and a fun way to earn community service hours!

Hello St. Francis Families,
The FSA will be holding our annual uniform exchange! If your kids have grown out of their uniforms (PE included), please drop them off washed and folded to the front porch of SF Monday, June 14th - Friday, June 18th from 9am-12pm. Over the summer weeks we will organize them by size and style and invite you back sometime in July to pick up "new" uniforms! We will also do a second pick up at Back to School Night incase you missed our July pickup date or decide that you need more! If you have any questions or are interested in being part of the FSA please reach out to Megan Drescher at mspeca2003@yahoo.com or Julie Pavlick at julie.pavlick@gmail.com
If you ordered Spirit Wear, keep an eye out this week and next for it coming home with your kids!
