SFC BOOSTERS - FALL SPORTS PROGRAM & SIGNAGE
The Booster Association is in the middle of it's biggest fundraiser of the year, the Fall Sports Program & Signage sale.  Now in its third year, this full color program is distributed at all home football games, reaching hundreds, if not thousands of fans over the course of the season.  Do you own a business? Do you know someone who does? Do you frequent a business who might like to advertise?  Do you have a student athlete you would like to support with a special ad? The rates are very reasonable and when paired with a field and/or gym sign provide great advertisement and support our Crimson Hawks!  All funds raised are used to directly benefit the SFC athletics programs.  The order forms can be found here and are due by July 31st.  Thanks for your support of Hawk Athletics!

ENGLISH MATERIALS FOR 2016-2017

Fees will be collected online using a new program called Bursari.

How to use Bursari:
  • Click on the link:  https://www.ebursar.net/Bursari.Web/sfchs203422011#/payments
  • Enter the student's name (complete steps separately for each student in your family)
  • Click on "Select Item" drop-down menu
  • Select your item (English on-line)
  • Complete the requested payment information
  • Confirm and submit
If you have any questions about the program, please contact Amanda Gaspary at [email protected]If you have questions about payment, please contact Renee Berkevich at [email protected].
 
SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST
We do not publish a school supply list.  What we ask is that students purchase the necessities such as pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, etc.  If there is anything specific needed for a class, the students will be told the first week of school. 

COMPUTER RECOMMENDATIONS
Name brands such as Dell, Toshiba, Apple, Microsoft, etc., tend to have the best reliability and customer support.
  
One system that blends the best of both a tablet and a laptop is the Microsoft Surface 3 or 4.  It utilizes a keyboard cover that allows it to function as a laptop, but this cover can also be folded back and allows the device to be used as a tablet.  It has a touchscreen and runs the full version of the Windows operating system. 
 
USED UNIFORM CLOSET
The used uniform closet in Crimson Hall will be open throughout the summer Monday-Thursday from 9:00am-2:00pm.  All items are $5.

RISSE BROTHERS SCHOOL UNIFORMS
Risse Brothers is our uniform store.  Located at 2525 Drane Field Road, Suite 11, Lakeland, FL 33811.   863.940.9913
