A Word From Our Principal
Greetings SFB Families,
This has been a great week! RED RIBBON WEEK was a lot of fun, had out-of-dress code silliness, and there were a lot of donations brought in. THANK YOU for your generosity in helping others. THANK YOU to the committee for organizing the events of the week.
After mass today, the students led by Fr. Patrick processed to school for the Enthronement of the Blessed Mother. You can now see the beautiful piece of art in our school lobby. THANK YOU to Fr. Patrick for this beautiful prayer service.
Our 8th graders had an afternoon of service at the St. Francis Borgia Cemetery today. What a wonderful, selfless way of helping our parish community!
Next week our boys' AND girls' 8th-grade volleyball teams will participate in the Seton Volleyball Tournament. This is an invitation-only tournament in the Archdiocese that invites teams based on season statistics. See the schedule of games below.
We will have an all-school mass on Monday for All Saints' Day. This day commemorates all of the saints of the church on this holy day of obligation. Our school mass is at 9:00am. After the mass, some of our 8th graders will be dressed as saints and introduce themselves to us. On Friday, November 5th the 7th graders will lead the school in our First Friday Rosary at 9:00am.
MAP testing is coming to a close. We are looking forward to studying the results, making goals for learning, and re-testing in winter. Teachers have professional development on November 9th to learn how to understand and use MAP Growth reports and data. The professional development tells teachers how to use MAP Growth reports to tell them how their students are doing, inform subsequent instruction, and support scaffolding or extension of content.
God Bless,
Principal Amy Royes
