A Word From Our Principal

Dear SFB families,
CONGRATULATIONS to our 8th grade volleyball teams for the invitation to and participation in the Archdiocesan Elizabeth Ann Seton Volleyball Tournament!  The boys played very well and fought hard in all of their games on Monday night. The girls played on Wednesday evening and won best of five in three games! The girls play again tonight at 5:30pm at the Milwaukee Sting Center.  GO KNIGHTS!!! You can watch the game (Court 3) LIVE here:  https://www.milwaukeesting.com/content/club-info/sting-tv

We are happy to announce that Gorilla Gourmet lunch program will begin in the very near future - before the end of the month! They are working on a lunch menu and the order form that will be shared with families. Ordering and payment will be handled directly with them. What a blessing that this solution has come to provide our families with a source to purchase lunches for school. 

We are very excited to share that we will soon regularly welcome a seminarian every other Thursday afternoon to SFB. Kevin Tanel is in his third year as a teaching parish seminarian. This year his focus is in education/catechesis. We will share more information about Kevin as we get to know more about him. We are so fortunate to have Kevin join us for his visits!

Per our COVID policy, SFB agrees to provide current information on vaccination opportunities. This information is in no way a suggestion of action.
