Happy Mother's Day!
We know being a mother is not an easy job. Mary, our Heavenly Mother, understands as she had many events in her life that were challenging, but she said yes to God and relied on her faith that she was going to be a great mother to Jesus and all of us.
This weekend, we celebrate you!

Upcoming Events
Memorial Day Parade
March in one or both of these parades with SFSS!
- Waterloo -Saturday, May 27th (More details to follow.)
- Geneva- Monday, May 29th starting at 10 am. Those marching in the parade will arrive at the Geneva Rec Center on South Exchange St at 9 am to line up.
Students can ride their bike, scooter, or be pulled in a wagon decorated in red, white, and blue. Or just walk the route. We will wear our SFSS Spirit Shirts. We will toss out candy in small bags with our school information on it and hand out to adults bottles of water with our school information on them.
We need
- students and families interested in walking/riding in the parade. (You can walk in just one or both.)
- donations of candy to put in our labeled bags. It's a good time to rid your house of individually wrapped Easter candy. :)
- donations of bottles of water.
Kindness Calendars
Everything mentioned on the calendar in terms of school improvements we want to be able to accomplish in the future.
Don't forget there are activities that we will do in June as community service and the donations made for those activities help us be able to do them.
Kindness Calendars are due on or before June 1st.
