Week of Gratitude

It is with grateful hearts, that we thank you for partnering with us in the faith formation of your children this year. It was such a beautiful Mass on Saturday and it truly touched our hearts! All of the children looked like such little ladies and gentlemen in their beautiful dresses and handsome suits.  It is with sincerest gratitude, that we would like to thank you for all of the love, support, and guidance you shower over your children each day. We are truly blessed to have your children at S.F.X. and what a gift it is to be at a Jesuit school.  We would like to take the time to thank Mrs. Westerfield for all of her hard work and efforts.  She is the reason that our third grade retreat, sacrament preparation,  and celebration is both meaningful and joyous.

As we move into this week, please make sure to review the weekly e-blast, so that you are aware of the happenings for each day during our week of gratitude. Also, please remember that your child's bag of recycled items for their Art project is due Thursday, April 30th. Mrs. Aspen sent out an email last week, and each child came home with a flyer on Friday.

Reminder that there is NO SCHOOL MONDAY, MAY 4TH!! ~ Enjoy!!
