St. Francis Catholic School - Friday, November 8th
Dear Parents & Friends of SFCS,
Thank you to all the parents and students who donated candy last week for the Candy Bounce Back. While SFCS was not the school that donated the most candy we came in a close 2nd. The big winner in the contest are the troops that will be receiving much of the candy donated through the charity called Operation Gratitude. Very fitting with Veteran's Day occurring on Monday. Thank you to Sea Smiles Pediatric Dentistry for coordinating this activity in our community. St. Francis Catholic School will be in session on Monday, Veteran's Day. Parents are welcome to join the students for a brief flag ceremony at 8:45am in front of the school.
Parents we need your input. Underneath the School Advisory Council section is a survey we need you to complete. It is a survey that is part of our accreditation process. In order for our data to be valid we need a significant percentage of our parents to complete the survey. Thank you in advance for taking a few moments to complete the survey below.
Don't forget about the FSA Pottery Jam this weekend!!! It is going on right now and there are a ton of great pieces of pottery to paint. Check out the flyer below for times to paint for the remainder of the weekend. All the proceeds raised by the FSA Pottery Jam are donated to the Fine Arts Department to support and grow that program. Thank you to the FSA and Mrs. Sweeney for coordinating this fun event every year!!!
Have a great weekend and stay warm!
Sincerely in Christ,
Brian Pope
Principal
