Virtual Information Sessions for Interested Families
In lieu of our traditional Open House, we are holding monthly Virtual Information Sessions for interested families. At these sessions, we will have a short PowerPoint presentation to present an overview of the school, we will have teachers present, one from middle school and one from elementary, and a parent representative. These sessions will present a small window into the school and allow for questions to be asked of administration, faculty and parent representatives. Please let any families you know who may be interested in joining our community that the first session is November 12th at 7:00PM with more information and registration available here.
A message from our school photographer regarding opportunities for photos with siblings
"Hey St. Francis Preschool families,
I enjoyed photographing your children at St. Francis Preschool! I'm offering an afternoon of 5 minute sessions for families who want Modern School Portraits for their older children who might be virtual learning or for their children together. Please click below for details and to book your child's time, and you might even recognize an adorable face!" Modern School Portraits
In the spirit of giving, let's come together as a preschool community and participate in the following wonderful parish service opportunities!
Our Lady of the Rosary Food Drive
Twice a year the parish helps to fill the pantry at OLR, which serves the poor and rural communities, where approximately 24% live below the poverty line. This year, due to the Covid-19 crisis, the need is even greater.
Please drop off your bag during preschool carpool on November 20
Frozen Turkey Drive
It is that time of year!
On Thursday, November 19th, from 7:30 AM - 12 PM, the parish will be collecting frozen turkeys to benefit Passage Home.
Would you please consider donating?
The need this year is greater due to Covid-19. To donate, please bring your turkey to the Community Center parking lot, where a volunteer will pick it up right from your car!
Thank you for your generous donations.
