2022-2023 REGISTRATION INFORMATION

The theme of SFX 5th Grade Service is Veterans and Active Duty Service Members. 5th graders are asking for your assistance with the following:
-
5th Grade Service is seeking names and addresses of active duty service members and veterans. These can be family members and friends of our school families. As part of our service program, 5th graders will create care packages to send to them. Please email the names and addresses to sfxlgmain@sfxlg.org with "5th Grade Service" in the subject line.
-
5th Grade Service is also asking families to donate their unwanted Halloween candy. Please send candy donations to school November 1st through November 5th. Candy will be sent to active service members and veterans.
-
The 5th Grade class is honoring veterans and active service men and women by building a brick wall at SFX. Students in grades 1-8 are receiving red paper bricks on Friday, October 29th. Each student is asked to write a dedication on their brick and return it to school no later than Monday, November 8th. Dedications can be the names of family, friends, or neighbors who have served in the military. Students are also asked to donate $1 for the 5th grade to collect and give to a nonprofit military organization. Donations are appreciated but not required. We are hoping for 100% participation. Students who return their brick will be able to participate in a partial dress down day wearing a red, white, or blue top with uniform bottom on Veterans Day - Thursday, November 11th.

A “SWEET” way to support the Teen Mission Trip – Order your Kringle Danish by Nov. 8th
The teens will be taking orders for O&H Kringle danishes to help make your Thanksgiving extra delicious. Each Kringle is made in Racine, WI and takes 3 full days to make, resulting in 36 layers of a flaky pastry filled with scratch made ingredients. Choose from 11 different, tasty flavors. Consider purchasing an extra one to donate to the Food Pantry for Thanksgiving. All orders can be picked up on Sunday, Nov. 21st, from noon - 3pm at God’s Garage at St. Francis. We can make arrangements if this pick-up time doesn't work for you. Each Kringle is $16. The teens thank you for your support. All proceeds go towards reducing the overall costs associated with the mission trip.
