BACK TO SCHOOL ASSEMBLY SUCCESS!

SCHOOL THEME LAUNCHED .....

We had a great time today launching this year's theme that will guide our journey through the 2021-2022 school year!

Preschool through Grade 8 students listened attentively as Father Ryan shared stories of the mission of St. Francis Xavier, our patron saint.

The trials and tribulations faced by St. Francis were both numerous and treacherous...he could have easily given up.

He overcame difficulties JOYFULLY!

We are choosing to be Joy Filled Witnesses to the Word!

We are grateful, thankful, and truly blessed.

Next week we will have our first full week of school!

Five Joy Filled Days

• If you haven't already, please complete and return all the forms that were in your yellow Friday folder at the beginning of the year. Please complete and return the pink Extended Care sheet even if you don't plan on using extended. It's not an expression of interest, just something needed by the office IN CASE you ever need to have your child(ren) stay.
• If you are a new/transferred student, please make sure the office has a copy of your birth certificate, Baptismal (if applicable) and latest physical. If your child(ren) has transferred in from another school and you have not yet requested their academic and health files from their old school, please do.
• Fundraising information sheet in this week's Go Gold Friday folders!
• The health and wellness of our school community continues to be of utmost importance. This week's Friday Golden Folder contains a hard copy of our modified COVID Health and Wellness Check to be hung on your refrigerator and used daily to assure that our students are fully ready for school! Thank you for your commitment to our efforts to maintain a healthy environment.
