A Word From Our Principal

Dear Saint Francis Borgia School families,

I wanted to make you aware that some changes have occurred in the school office. Our office team is now complete and I want to share our great news with you as well as communicate roles and who can serve your needs best.

Becca Lauria and Corrine Lempke are serving SFB families and students at our front desk in the office. They are handling needs of those who enter the office, attendance, students who may have appointments and need to leave, incoming calls from families, and helping our faculty and staff in many ways. Their email address is: frontdesk@sfbschool.org

We have hired Erin Copp as our new Administrative Assistant. Erin, a school parent (3K), will officially begin after Easter Break. She will serve families in many ways including enrollment paperwork, manage Option C for both families and teachers, and organize and maintain student files. She can be reached at office@sfbschool.org

Jen Murray is working on Mondays and Fridays in our office. She is helping out with gathering Athletic paperwork, organizing and maintaining Athletic files, scheduling events in the gym, updating and distributing forms, and additional miscellaneous items. Her email is murrayj@sfbschool.org

Erika LaPean and I are continuing in our current roles in the office. We are so blessed to have an office team that is excited to serve our school community!

This Sunday is Palm Sunday. Please take a moment and watch this video "Palm Sunday Reflection" with Auxiliary Bishop James Schuerman.

For those of you who tune in to our Zoom school mass on Wednesday at 9:00am - I apologize for the technical difficulties that occurred yesterday. Please tune in again next week. For those of you interested in watching, here is the link:

Parish News

Hello SFB Families!

Blessings to you as you approach Easter and Spring Break! Let's all continue to pray for our teachers, administrators, students, and the families of this beautiful community!!

My name is Laura Lindemann, I am currently the Director of Youth Formation at our Parish and an SFB School Parent.

Our school beautifully supports the Catholic Formation of our children. It's on my heart to give them ample opportunities to develop their personal faith, begin to make independent decisions about their personal prayer and devotions, and to practice their faith alongside their peers and caring, faithful adult leaders.

We invite you to come to an informational meeting about the opportunities available to our teens next year. These are additional opportunities that can enhance you child's relationship with Christ.

If you have a child entering 6th, 7th or 8th grade in the 2021-2022 academic year - please attend our Middle School Parent Meeting:
