We Thrive Falcon Pride Spotlight:

Amy Ryan, Instructional Technology Coordinator

Your support of We Thrive ensures that all Falcons receive top tier technology instruction in order to build a digital competency that enhances their academic experience and prepares them for the future.

We are thrilled to feature our Technology Coordinator, Amy Ryan, for our Falcon Pride Spotlight. To learn more about how technology integration and digital citizenship are paving the way for our students to thrive in the future, click here!

OUR GOAL is 100% participation! Your participation can be a gift of $5.00 or $5,000 - all we ask is that it’s prayerfully considered and is a gift that’s meaningful to your family. Every week we will update our school community on where we are towards our goal.

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY PARTICIPATED!

What does it mean to make a “Pledge” to We Thrive? While we are working to contain our solicitations for We Thrive to these 5-weeks, we know this timeframe may not line up with your philanthropic giving calendar. So, we created an option to make a Pledge to We Thrive, to allow families who want to be counted towards our road to 100% participation but would like to make that gift beyond the 5-weeks. The only requirements we have are that you complete this Pledge Form, and that you agree to make your donation prior to May 15, 2024.

Pledge Now!

Give Now!

students currently in grades PS3 – 7th. The online form will be emailed to families through Family Communications Wednesday, November 1 and a link will be posted on the school website at sfxlg.org.

Please complete and submit 1 form for each of your students currently in grades PS3-7th no later than Wednesday, November 22nd. If you replied “no” or “uncertain” on your student’s re-registration form you will not be assessed the re-registration fee nor will a seat be reserved for your student in the 2024-2025 grade level count.

re-registration fee of $100.00 per student will be billed through your FACTS account in February.

New student hard copy enrollment forms will be sent home beginning Wednesday, November 8th and we ask that they be returned with original birth and baptismal certificates by Wednesday, November 22nd. Original certificates will be returned to parents.

All re-registration questions and questions regarding new students of current families should be directed to Mrs. Evans at pevans@sfxlg.org.
