A Word From Our Principal

Dear Saint Francis Borgia School families,

I hope this email finds you well. We were blessed with some beautiful weather this week! As you may have noticed, today and tomorrow have taken a turn towards high winds and reduced temperatures. Be sure your child(ren) bring jackets tomorrow for the forecasted lower temperatures.

We are starting to plan ahead for next year already! Our vision for school next year is returning to "normal" as much as possible. It will be so wonderful to have parents back in the building again! Parent participation in committees is a very important part of a Catholic school. Your voice, ideas, and plans are welcome and encouraged. We have started to gather a list of things to look forward to. Think about all of the ways in which you would like to impact our school, collaborating with teachers and staff to enrich opportunities for the student community!
REMEMBER: Tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of applying your enrollment fee to tuition. Please take advantage of this opportunity! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. (262) 377-2050.

Many Blessings,
Amy Royes

School-Wide Cross In Sports Lobby

A huge thank you to Mike Knetter for the construction and assembly of the cross on display in the Sports Lobby!

Each student painted a small canvas on Kids Choice Day that Mike then mounted into the cross. It’s a beautiful reminder of our unity in Christ. Thank you Mr. Knetter! 

Home & School News


THANK YOU! Each week, Home and School gets thank you cards from the staff. "All of these special lunches are incredible and are enjoyed by all." The staff has been so appreciative of everyone's generosity and we hope to have the lunches last for the year. Please consider signing up to bring in an item.

We are looking to fill a few positions for Committee Chairs for next year. One open position would be to be the Committee Chair for Junior Achievement. If you would like to play a bigger role in Home and School, please contact us at sfbhomeandschool@gmail.com to learn more.
