Fly on the Wall H eard from the Hall...

I am finding that one of the greatest "fly on the wall" opportunities comes with the supervision of students from the hallways  outside of the bathrooms.  
The addition of the instructional basketball program has added more opportunity for these priceless
 bathroom exchanges:
Student #1: "My sister goes to a private                                         school."
Student #2: "Really?"  
Student #1: "Yeah... and they can't talk                            about God at all in her                                 school."
Student #2: "That's not a private school,                             that's a public school!"

Adventures from this week...
     What a quick week it was!  Final preparations are well underway for our annual Catholic Schools Week celebration.  Please pay close attention to the happenings of the week, by familiarizing your family with the fridge copy of our schedule that was sent home today.  We have several assemblies planned, and would certainly welcome parents and family members to come and celebrate what makes St. Francis such a unique and wonderful school.  Please participate by joining us whenever you are able!

     CSW 2017 will kick off with Holy Mass on Sunday, January 29th at 10:30am at St. Francis Xavier Parish.  If your family is planning on attending weekend Mass at another parish, and your child wears his/her uniform to celebrate their Catholic education, (and would like to be the recipient of a Dress Down Day Pass), please take a quick picture and email it to mrusso@sfxacushnet.com. While we would love to have a great showing of students in uniform at SFX, we understand that weekend schedules can at times be challenging.  

     Thank you to those who have agreed to advertise for our Open House, which will take place after Mass on the 29th.   We will open our school doors from noon until 2pm to welcome new potential families for tours and open enrollment.  While many of our visitors are preschool and potential kindergarten students, we often receive inquiries about the other grades as well.   Please secure your child(ren)'s spot(s) for the 2017-2018 school year by Friday the 27th, so we are aware of the potential openings within each of our classes.

Tomorrow evening, the School Events Committee will bring back an old tradition by hosting a Spaghetti Dinner! I am hoping to see many of our families as we come together for some great food and an opportunity for some fun and fellowship.  
Enjoy your weekend and God bless!
