Mentoring Shirts
At the beginning of the year each student received a Serving For Christ mentoring shirt that should be worn on mentoring days. The original shirt was provided to your student as part of the program at no cost to the student. If your student has lost or damaged the shirt and needs a replacement or you would like an additional shirt there will be a $10 fee. Please email Dr. Cari Murphy your student's name and size so a replacement can be ordered. We can only order when we need multiple shirts so orders are not placed constantly. The next order will be finalized on Monday, 12/11 so please email
[email protected]
to be included in this order.

Renaissance XXXV - Bayou Soirée
Decorations
We are in search of a few handymen to assist with
construction of decorations
for
Renaissance XXXV, mostly woodwork. So if you're good with a hammer and a saw and are looking for a way to contribute we'd love to
have you! Contact Christine Jenkins at 863-660-1246 for more information.
Senior Renaissance Ambassadors
Greetings Senior Parents,
What a busy and exciting year you are sharing with your senior! One of the wonderful opportunities that Santa Fe Catholic offers seniors is the ability to give back to their school through giving of their time and talent as a Senior Ambassador at Renaissance, the annual dinner auction. As you will see in the attached letter, the contributions from Renaissance are used broadly to enhance the learning community at SFC.
The auction is only 12 weeks away and we are striving to make it the most fun and successful one yet! In order to get our Ambassadors ready, the first step is their completion and submission of the
Renaissance Ambassador Application
no later than Monday, December 18th to the Advancement Office. Having a senior last year, I saw firsthand what an honor and privilege it is for them to participate in this event. So I would encourage you to have them apply (I know they are likely tired of writing essays by this point). There are a limited number of spaces and we need to get right to ordering their outfits, so timeliness is of the essence.
Please do not hesitate to contact myself or Channon Eickenberg at
[email protected] if they have any questions.
Best,
Christine Jenkins
Co-Chair, Renaissance XXXV - Going Cray at the Bayou Soir
