Dear St. Francis of Assisi Parents and Guardians,
I am pleased to announce that we have officially hired both 2nd Grade teachers! God is so good and we are seeing the grace and blessings daily on campus. We have been praying about this open position and have interviewed a lot of candidates. When the Diocese announced they were closing Our Lady of Guadalupe School in La Habra this week, our hearts broke for the faculty and school families that would be affected by this decision. We were able to connect with the Second Grade Teacher from Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mrs. Sally Ann Guillen accepted the other Second Grade position and we cannot wait for the community to meet her. Mrs. Guillen and Ms. Liebelt are both beautiful additions to our St. Francis family. Please read a welcome letter from Mrs. Guillen.
We continue to wait on our waiver for approval. As soon as we receive an update, communication will be sent out. This Saturday is the construction day scheduled on campus for our volunteers. If you signed up to help, we thank you in advance! The school will be open at 7 am. Please wear your masks while on the school campus to keep each other safe! We are in need of the following: -
Power Drills
-
Power Drill Batteries
-
Tape Measure
-
PVC Pipe Cutters
Work begins at 7 am until we are finished!
Normally we would have already sent out a back to school letter at the beginning of August. We anticipate sending this out digitally early next week, in the hope of having further clarity on how we will be returning on September 8. Thank you for your patience and continued prayers and support!
Be safe and be hopeful,
Jeannette Lambert
Principal

Friday Morning Prayer via Facebook live - 8:00 am
|
| Joining together in prayer as a community is an important part of the "Spirit of St. Francis" here at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School. As we approach the start of a new school year, we would like to create social and spiritual bonds by connecting in prayer on a weekly basis. We invite you to join us online via Facebook Live for Friday Morning Prayer services at 8:00 am starting this Friday, August 21. |
| This Saturday, August 22nd we will be constructing safety barriers for all student desks beginning at 7am on campus until we are finished. This will be a very labor intensive project and we would appreciate as much community participation as possible. If you would like to volunteer your time please RSVP here. |
St. Francis School is proud of our wonderful community and what better way to share that pride than to become an ambassador to our school as a mentor family. We are seeking families in all grades to become mentors for our new families for the 2020/2021 school year. You don't need to possess an in-depth knowledge of everything about our school or have all the answers, just a willingness to share the warmth of our SFA community. Some of the responsibilities of a mentor family are:
- Email or phone your new SFA family in mid August to welcome them to SFA and answer any questions.
- Invite your new family as your guest to attend any New Family events (TBD).
- Be available to answer questions that may arise throughout the school year as well as inform families of annual events such as Trick, Treats and Tacos and the Auction.
Our mentor families truly represent the heart and soul of all that makes St. Francis School special. We need caring, welcoming families to be a part of this ministry. It's also a fun and easy way to get volunteer hour credit.
If you would like to be a part of this special ministry, please contact Allison Clewett aclewett@sfayl.org for more information. |
