As we find ourselves in the heart of November, we are reminded of the importance of gratitude and the many blessings we share as a school community. Thanksgiving is a time to pause and give thanks to God for His abundant grace, our families, our friends, and the love that surrounds us each day.

A Reflection on Gratitude

In this season of thanksgiving, we are guided by the words of Scripture:
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever."
(Psalm 107:1)

This verse reminds us of God’s eternal love and goodness. As we celebrate with loved ones, let us take a moment to express our gratitude and remember those who may be in need of our prayers and support during this time.

The end of the first trimester is coming up on Friday, November 22. Grades will be finalized and report cards completed on December 6. For our 6-8th grade students, It is a good time to check in with their teacher about any missing work.

We will have an All School Mass on Thursday, 11/21/2024. Dress uniforms are required, if your student does not have a plaid jumper or skirt, they may wear the uniform blue skort or blue pants instead.

Each year St. Francis of Assisi School must conduct a variety of emergency drills with our students to ensure their safety in the event of an emergency. On November 20, we will be conducting a lockdown drill. As always, the safety of our students is a primary concern for our school.
