On Friday, 3/19 a $2 Black and Blue Dress Down Day will help to support the needs of the Maronite sisters in New Bedford, and students will also be asked to offer a canned good this day, to honor the Italian tradition of feeding the hungry and offering gifts to St. Joseph for prayers answered.
Our students will visit our school grotto to offer prayers of petition and thanksgiving to St. Joseph on his feast day as well.
St. Joseph.... pray for us!

Making plans for the kids this summer??
Consider an opportunity for your children to be exposed to the gifts & talents of our very own Mrs. Angeley during the summer months! I am sure that you all are aware of the amazing work that Mrs. Angeley is doing on a weekly basis within our school. She is teaching both Music and Art to our students, both REMOTELY and IN PERSON, and she rises to this immense challenge week after week with poise, professionalism and an amazing skill set! This summer Mrs. Angeley will be serving as director of summer programming at the Marion Art Center. She would love to see her SFX friends there! Registration information can be found here: https://www.marionartcenter.org/artstart/
and the program is for children ages 4.5-9.
Also, if there are any SFX alumnae who are interested in being counselors (ages 14-17), on that same link an application can be found. This is a paid position, so it’s a great summer job for kids who are interested in art, music, theater, and like working with kids!
