Principal's Message
Dear SFX Family,
I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving break. As we journey through Advent together, I will be praying for renewed hope, peace, joy, and love for you and your families.
Today is #iGiveCatholicDay on Giving Tuesday! Our church and school is raising money to fund campus improvements. Please consider donating here and sharing the link with others. Online giving is open through midnight! Thank you for your continued generosity and support.
Thursday we will celebrate the Feast of St. Francis Xavier with two school Masses. And this Saturday we invite you all out to the Girls Scouts Blood Drive in honor of Lee Montgomery. Also, please be sure to read about to fun things from the Home & School Association below!
Lastly, with the rising COVID-19 numbers in our area, please continue to be safe and report all symptoms and/or positive cases. If you have any questions about circumstances or exposure, do not hesitate to reach out.
Have a great week!
May God bless you and keep you,
Jessica

- Students should be kept home if they have any symptoms and their doctor should be consulted. Please do not assume it is allergies or a cold or send them to school after giving medication.
- Hang your name sign from your rear view mirror for the entirety of carpool so that all staff can see the name. Hint: A pants hanger works great!
- Siblings & Carpools are dismissed from the yard. Single Riders are dismissed from Betz Pl. Please go to your usual location even if a sibling is sick or out of school. The students are used to going to their designated side.
