Fortnightly 2019
A much anticipated SFX 8th grade extracurricular event, “Fortnightly”, is a decades old program involving a series of Sunday evening dance instructions through the winter months. Students not only receive instruction on various dance steps, they also learn social skills that include proper etiquette, respect, speaking with eye contact, and offering refreshments. Formal nights along with Country & Western, Disco, 50’s and Salsa themes were enjoyed by the 8th grade attendees. The name “Fortnightly" was originally derived from the fact that classes were held once every fourteen nights …or every fortnight. Each year we are pleased to welcome students new to the program, as well as those whose older brothers and sisters, and in some cases mothers or fathers, have also enjoyed the program. We are grateful for our wonderful SFX parents, who always make this program a success! SFX Alumni, do you have a favorite memory of your “Fortnightly”?

Traffic Safety Procedure
Please do not drop your students off until 7:50am when supervision begins. It is also important that everyone respects each other and follows our traffic pattern.
Whether students are being dropped off on Waiola or by the Rectory, they should leave the car on the side closest to the school. It is important that parents remain in the car and children are ready to get out of the car quickly. When dropping students off, pull as far forward as possible on Waiola or in the Rectory parking lot so that many students can exit their cars at the same time.
In the Rectory lot children should be dropped off in the line and not along the Rectory sidewalk.
On Waiola students should be dropped off along the curb in front of the school only, not on the snow hills, the grass or from the middle lane. That is unsafe when traffic starts moving. It is also important that everyone cooperates and lets a car in when they are trying to pull away from the curb. If everyone lets one or two cars in, traffic flow will be much quicker. It gets a little congested when the traffic light on Ogden is red, but traffic will flow when it turns green. Everyone must turn left on Ogden. Waiola is one way during arrival and dismissal.
U-turns in our neighbors’ driveways are not allowed
.
After school parents need to designate a spot, parents should not leave their cars if on Waiola, between Bell and Ogden. Parents should never double-park to pick up students.
Safety is our # 1 priority and everyone must respect the rules and have patience.
