Principal's Message
Dear SFX Family,
There many thank yous to go around! We are so grateful to all who made a donation to iGiveCatholic last Tuesday. Your generosity helps us get closer to realizing our campus improvements dreams. Thank you to the Home & School Association for the surprise from St. Nick that each student found yesterday morning! I would also like to thank all of you for continuing to be conscientious with the health and safety of everyone. Please reach out at any time if you have questions regarding proper protocols and guidelines.
Today we celebrated the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I pray that Mary continues to bestow her grace on our school family. This Thursday Loupe Photography will be taking Christmas Portraits. If you wish for your child/ren to take a picture, please return the form to school. Students may wear holiday attire for the pictures and can change into their uniform after if you would like. The Home & School sponsored essay contest ends this Friday. There is more information below. Please email homeandschool.sfx@gmail.com with any questions.
Don't forget that our Online Book Fair continues through this Friday. Please check out the great titles and help earn some for our school library!
Please join me in praying for our seventh grade students who will be submitting their high school applications this week. As we look ahead to next week, please note that Friday, December 18 is a 12:00 PM dismissal day for all students with no after school care. The first grade students will present the Living Nativity by homeroom, and we will live stream it for your viewing. More detailed information will be sent 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!
