Dear St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School Families,
Last Wednesday we hosted our annual 8th grade fundraiser, Tricks, Treats, and Tacos. The event drew over 800 students, parents, and alumni to the St. Francis campus for a night of trick or treating, costumes, and dancing. This is one of my favorite activities because it brings our school community together to share the joy of each other's company. For St. Francis families, our courtyard was the happiest place on Earth on this night. All the ingredients for a great party - music, food, treats, costumes, friends and a place to dance, came together to create a magical evening for our families.
As is always the case, events, especially one of this magnitude, are not successful without superior leadership, good planning, and effective execution. Led by the event chairs, Meichele Cary and Janene Fairchild, the eighth grade students, parents, and teachers collaborated and contributed to the evening's success. They made all the arrangements and set up the decorations, food and drinks, music, and the least favorite task, clean up.
The proceeds are used for the eighth grade class legacy gift and to help pay for the Disneyland trip to celebrate graduation for the Class of 2017.
This event is a great example of what happens when a group of committed parents get together to plan a St. Francis event. From one end to the other, the school courtyard was rocking with fun, laughter, and energy. This was a very special evening that highlights what is good about our school community. Everyone plays a role in creating the energy that was present at Tricks, Treats, and Tacos, We work, play, and pray together! That is what makes our community unique and very special.
Thank you for supporting St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School!
Tom Waszak
Principal
