All Saints Day 2020!
Don't Forget!
Clocks get turned back this weekend...an extra hour's sleep!
November Note-ables:

School Mass- Monday, 11/2 (students & staff only)
Adoration- Tuesday, 11/3
Flu Clinic- Friday, 11/6
Veteran's Day- 11/11 NO SCHOOL!

God is so good, as we continue to remain a healthy and vibrant school community. Today's All Saints Day dress up, while different than in years past, was a celebratory gesture of the
magnificent day of honoring the saints! Awesome costumes, researching of information and facts, a small parade and the realization of our lives being designed as a journey to sainthood were the objectives for this year's wonderful celebration!

Our first school Mass is set to take place this coming Monday, November 2nd (weather permitting of course). This Mass will not only be the celebration of the Eucharist for the first time this school year for students and staff, but also a Mass of Remembrance for the souls of the dearly departed members of the SFX school community.

Have a wonderful weekend and God bless-
Mrs. Russo

  • In your child's Friday folder you'll find a flyer for the Shop with Scrip fundraiser, which starts today and ends 11/13. They are offering gift card sales both in the traditional format (online) and through the RaiseRight app this year, with cards shipping right to your home!

If you or your family plan to go out on Halloween, avoid the three Cs of confined spaces, close contact with others, and crowded places.
Halloween is not worth risking the health of our school community and busting our bubble!
We all need to do our part!

Let's Stay Healthy and Happy!
