PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Tuesday, February 8, 2022
Dear SFX Family,
This is the last week of the 2nd Trimester! Please keep our Middle School students in your prayers as they take exams over the next few days.
We have been informed that the window project is paused for at least the remainder of this week. Therefore, we will return to using both Betz Place and the Trimber Yard tomorrow morning until the project resumes. Additionally, please continue to follow all rules of drop-off and dismissal:
- No left turn out of the Trimber Yard
- Right turn only into the Trimber Yard
- Do not arrive earlier than 10 minutes prior to dismissal time
- Pull all the way to the right side of the street and put your blinker on
- Left turn only onto Avenue A from Betz Place
Tomorrow we will have Mass in the morning and the 2nd-4th Grade Spelling Bee in the afternoon. We look forward to the 5th-7th Grade Bee next Wednesday. Also up next week is the second Food Truck Night hosted by Home & School. More information is below.
I hope you have a great rest of the week.
May God bless you and keep you,
Jessica

Happy Tuesday. Below is the Email Update for Tuesday, February 8. Several new events are announced in the Update so please check it all out.
Special thanks to donors to the Baby Bottle Campaign, to all who helped with the Second Grade Family Mass, and to our Hospitality Ministers for serving at all the Masses this weekend.
Tomorrow is the deadline to buy a ticket to Dinner and Devotion, which will take place this Friday evening at 7 pm in St. Joseph Hall. "Catholic Foodie" Jeff Young will review the important role of meals in Scripture, family meals, and the Eucharistic meal.
Have a blessed week.
