The Weekly Howl
St. Francis Catholic School - Friday, May 15th
It was another great week at St. Francis! We started off with a Hooky Day, had the May Crowing at our School Mass and ended the week with our Middle School Spring Semi-Formal. All this in addition to the teachers wrapping up MAP testing and working towards completing their curriculum with the students.
This Sunday at 9:00am is our final School Family Mass for the 2017 - 2018 school year. Let's have a great turn out with our students in uniform!
The 5th Grade with be spending the week at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, SC for the STARBASE program. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for our 5th Grade students as the five-day program will emphasize Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The students will be engaged through an inquiry-based curriculum with "hands-on, minds-on" experiential activities. We hope the 5th Grade will have a wonderful experience and wish them safe travels each day. Parents MUST have the 5th Grade students at school by 7:45am each day.
If your child is planning on participating in the Talent Show please make sure they have you sign the Talent Show Entry Form that is included below. It must be turned in to the School Office on Monday so they can participate with the practices next week.
Lastly there is a great opportunity for 3rd through 5th Grade parents on Tuesday with the Parenting in the Digital Age program. Childcare and dinner is provided. If your child is asking for or has a cell phone, tablet, lap top, etc. then this may be a good program to check out. Please RSVP by emailing Mrs. Safe at tsafe@sfcshhi.com.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely in Christ,
Brian Pope
