Principal's Message
Dear SFX Family,
I hope you have noticed our fabulous new sign on Metairie Road that went up on Friday! THANK YOU, MEN'S CLUB FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN! We are so grateful! We also want to thank the Men's Club for the 7th Grade Class T-shirts. They love them!
This week I ask you to keep our 6th and 7th Grade students in your prayers as they take 1st Trimester Exams.
We are looking forward to Trunk or Treat on Saturday! There is more detailed information below. Thank you so much to all who sent in candy!
Next Monday is All Saints Day where we will continue our annual tradition of the students dressing as saints. This is always a favorite day of the school year!
Have a great rest of the week!
May God bless you and keep you,
Jessica
