We offer our gratitude and thanks to Ms. Terri Simeoni (Coordinator of Religious Education and Sacramental Preparation), for all of her dedication to the children in the SFX community. After 32 years at SFX, Ms. Simeoni will be retiring at the end of the year. Ms. Simeoni has selflessly committed herself to our children and to Catholic education. We wish her the best on her next adventure.
We would like to thank the following talented teachers for their dedication to the students at SFX. We appreciate their time with us and the gifts they shared with our school community. We wish them well as they move on to other opportunities: Mrs. Liliana Gentile (Spanish), Dr, Gerald Lordan (Middle School Science), and Ms. Beth Cotton (3rd Grade). Our sincere thanks to Mrs. Colleen Cooke (4th Grade Math), for postponing her retirement to be part of the faculty again this year! We wish them all good health and much happiness in their future endeavors!

4th Grade Bottle Buddies!
The Who Was & Who Is book series comprises over 150 titles of illustrated biographies for young readers featuring significant historical figures, including artists, scientists, and world leaders. The 4th Grade classes chose a book from the series to read. They were inspired, wrote a report and created incredible likenesses of their significant historical figure in the form of a "Bottle Buddy". Amazing work students!
