A huge thank you goes to Mr. Guillotte for spreading all of the wood chips, and to Mr. Reis for moving them from the parking lot to their proper spot!




Catholic Schools Week ....
Sunday 1/26- Saturday 2/1!

Our short week flew by as MAP testing was finalized, our Boosterthon Fun Run pledging phase was launched, and many of our middle school students departed for the March for Life in Washington DC.

As we enter into the final days of January, the excitement is elevated as we embark upon our journey through a week of faith-filled fun. Please plan on being as much a part of the excitement as your schedule allows! CSW favorites include the Patriotic Assembly (set for Tues. 1/28 @ 9:30am), our Fun Run, closing assembly and special treat on Friday, and of course the popular Parent/Faculty vs. Student Basketball Game next Saturday evening.

I look forward to seeing many of our students in uniform this weekend at Mass to kick off our celebration of the gift of our Catholic School!

God bless and have a wonderful weekend.

THAT'S A WRAP WITH MAP!
The winter window of MAP Growth testing has officially closed, and upon first glance at our school reports, our results are pleasing! MAP Growth reports will be sent home on Friday, January 31st along with student progress reports.
Do we have to go to St. Francis this weekend, or can students attend their own church in uniform?

Your own church is more than fine... share your love of Catholic education to the surrounding parishes and be proud to wear your SFX uniform! Please snap a picture, and submit here . Extra points available if you can convince your pastor to take a picture with you!
