A Word From Our Principal
Greetings SFB Families,
This week we had our first positive COVID test results within our school. We continue to seek guidance from medical professionals, communicate with the COVID Committee, and hold discussions among leadership. Notifications of positive cases come through OptionC as a text. If you have not received these notifications, please communicate this to the office so we can assist in addressing this for you. Sometimes it is merely updating your primary cell information on OptionC. The first notification of the year on Monday did not go as smoothly as I would have liked, however communication with the second notification this morning went much smoother. We empower families to make decisions based on their own circumstances. THANK YOU for your continued support as we persist in offering a rigorous curriculum, competitive athletics, extracurricular activities, and most importantly Catholic formation.
I had the opportunity to watch volleyball this week. I was so proud of our 5th-grade girls! I saw teamwork, positive attitudes, and support for one another. I hope to catch more games soon. Great job players! Thank you, coaches - coaching a team takes time, effort, and dedication. We held an executive Athletic Committee meeting this week - I'm so excited that basketball is right around the corner!
May we always play hard and fair. Please keep everyone safe from injury and harm. Thank you, Lord, for the chance to compete and use our talents through sports. We pray in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – Amen.
God Bless,
Principal Amy Royes

EARN MONEY FOR SHOPPING!
*Note regarding scrip delivery: Weekly online scrip orders are generally ready on Thursdays. For families with Scrip Delivery Waivers on file at school, orders will be sent home with the designated student in either a manilla, interoffice mail envelope or a white envelope with a “Scrip Mail” sticker on it. Please check your child’s backpack for this envelope, remove your scrip cards, and return the envelope to the office. All other orders can be picked up in the school office.
Also, the SFB Scrip program welcomes Dominic Burrescia to the team! Dominic is taking over as one of the Scrip co-coordinators, in charge of communications/promotions and rebate tracking/reporting.
Finally, there will be no Monday online scrip order on Monday, October 4th, due to the short school week.
Questions? Please contact one of your SFB Scrip co-coordinators.
