A Word From Our Principal

Dear St. Francis Borgia School families,

Come see for yourself the great benefits of a Catholic school education! St. Francis Borgia will be hosting an open house on January 30th from 11:00am - 1:00pm.

Prospective students and their families are invited to meet teachers and students, discover our classrooms and learn more about what makes St. Francis Borgia Catholic School the best! If you have friends or family who are interested in building a strong foundation of faith and education, please invite them to join you!

Parents are invited to meet teachers and current parents to learn more about the St. Francis Borgia community. Information regarding tuition assistance, volunteer opportunities and parent committee groups will be shared.

You are welcome to come to mass on Sunday, January 30th at 10:00am. Our school prepares students to be outstanding disciples for life. Come to this special mass that will be held just prior to our Open House.  

Be sure to stop in the gym to see the Science Fair projects showcased. Students in grades
5 - 8 will share their findings on Friday to school students and information is still available for your perusal.

Applications for the 2022-2023 academic year are available. Admissions and enrollment representatives will be available at the open house to help guide you through the process and answer any questions!

The daily themes for Catholic Schools’ Week are:
Monday: Celebrating our School Community
Tuesday: Celebrating our Students
Wednesday: Celebrating our Nation
Thursday: Celebrating Vocations
Friday: Celebrating Faculty, Staff, and Volunteers

Watch next week for a detailed list of dress-up days and activities for our 2022 Catholic Schools’ Week!

Devotedly yours in Christ,
Mrs. Amy Royes

22% of our SFB families have donated to far. If just 20 more families donate to the Annual Fund we will be at 33% family participation. Gifts of all sizes are welcome.

Family Adoration at SFB Church
Looking for a way for the whole family to unwind from the stressful week? Consider Family Adoration on Friday nights
6-7pm. Pray a little & play a little!

Adoration is available upstairs. Parents can socialize and form new friendships downstairs, while kids play (air hockey, foosball, color, snacks and TV are available for their entertainment).

Children are encouraged to rotate from upstairs to pray and downstairs to play as they desire, letting them freely get to know the comfort of Jesus’s presence. Please contact Michele Garey at michelegarey@gmail.com with any questions.
