Dear St. Francis of Assisi School Families and Community,
As we settle into our first full week of school, I've been reflecting on the unique opportunity that September presents. This month is so very busy with events and full calendars, but it also can be a natural time to return to those resolutions we made way back in January (hitting the gym, healthy habits, praying and meditating more...). You might wonder if it's even possible—or practical—to revisit those goals now. After all, we're already three-quarters of the way through the calendar year, at the nine-month mark. Perhaps you abandoned those resolutions months ago? Any time that offers a chance to set a new course for a fresh start is a positive choice to make and a great example for our children.
I'm looking forward to this Thursday, as we celebrate our Mass of the Holy Spirit and gather later for Curriculum Night. During the evening presentations, parents will have the opportunity to learn more about your child's academic journey this year. Additionally, you'll have the chance to sign up for various volunteer opportunities throughout the year, including Parent Association activities, CYO Athletics, and Auction support.
Finally, we are looking for some volunteers to help our Academic Decathlon team. After many years of dedicated service by Ms. Pierce, we are in need of a new head coach and after-school volunteers to help this team continue to thrive. Interested? Please reach out to our front office!
