CELEBRATING S.T.E.M.

4th Grade celebrated our friends and family members that work in the field of STEM on Tuesday June 4th. The 4th grade students picked a family member or family friend that is working or worked in a field of Science, Mathematics, Engineering & Technology. They interviewed and researched their field of work. The 4th graders created a poster and shared what they learned about the STEM career in Unity Hall. It was a great success and the students learned so much about different jobs in STEM. The students and their family members were able to walk around and learn from their classmates about the different jobs present. They worked hard and did a great job!   
PRE-K 4 AND KINDERGARTEN VISIT TO 1ST GRADE

The SFX 1st Graders were seasoned professionals when it came to welcoming and introducing our PreK 4 and Kindergarten students to Main Campus life! The PreK4 and K students enjoyed one-on-one tours with a 1st grade buddy and even took a tour through the administration offices! How exciting!

Parents - Please share this letter from Mrs. Demuth with your children. We all wish Mrs. Demuth great adventures as she relocates to Texas,


To my dear Saint Francis Students, thank you for the best seven years ever! I have absolutely enjoyed every moment I have spent with you. Each one of you have shown me, on so many different occasions, what catholic school is all about. I admire the way that you take care of one another, your simple “thank yous”, but most of all your manners. You have taught me how to be a better person. I can honestly say that my work environment is “my happy place “. 

My favorite part of the school day is seeing all of your smiling faces. I just cant wait to see what all of you will become in the future. I just know that each of you will leave your mark on this world because you have, without a doubt, made a special mark in my heart. I have been so blessed to work with some of you in the classroom setting and in the lunchroom setting. It has been such a pleasure to see your academics and personalities shine!  

On a final note, please remember to always look out for others. Especially the kids that are alone, left out of conversations, or have nobody to play with at recess. My last bit of advice to all of you is to be kind and a smile goes a long way, a simple smile can make someone’s day. I all, remember to treat people the way you want to be treated.  

I’m going to be passing my whistle along to a friend who I know will make the lunchroom a place you will want to go to. Just listen 😉. I’m not going to say goodbye….I will say….. Until we meet again…  

I will miss you all of you, from my 3 year olds to my 13 year olds,

Fondly,

Mrs. Demuth
