Adventures from this week...
This particular day, which arrives annually, is one of the many  that I dub a "proud principal moment".  Today marks our annual Middle school  Science Fair, and I cannot express how impressed  I am every year by the amount of passion, hard work, and creativity  that goes into the successful completion of so many projects.  Our middle school students are so bright!  Many of the visitors and judges who visited  today certainly concurred,  Our Grades 6 thorough 8 students demonstrated their knowledge on their particular topic and presented their accomplishments to various judges and parents.  Thank you, Mrs. Plante, for your hard work and dedication.  Our middle school students certainly shone today!

Happenings on the horizon for the school, include a Spaghetti Dinner next Saturday night.   This  "old tradition made new"  is sure to be a wonderful opportunity for us to gather as a school family!  A few raffle items,  as well as the ever popular 50/50 raffle, will add to the excitement and fun for the evening. Please consider joining us for an evening of fun, food and family!

Catholic Schools Week will be our next major series of events and is a week that we dedicate to celebrating our wonderful and unique school!  Please see the attached schedule of events for the week to begin planning for your family!  Our annual Open House is set to take place on Sunday. January 29th from noon to 2pm.  Please make certain that your re-registration forms are in prior to that date, as we are expecting inquiries at many grade levels.  Finally, if you live in a high visibility area and would be willing to place a yard sign on your property to advertise our school's Open House, please let the main office know!

Thanks so much for your continued support and 
have a wonderful long weekend!

SFX collected 12,000 Boxtops

 and received a check for $1,200!
Stay tuned for more details and dates for our next collection.
Great job, St. Francis!

Fly on the Wall H eard from the Hall...
Two students were fooling in the foyer one day this week at dismissal time.  One student was hitting another somewhat playfully with a winter hat.  The exchange became less playful, as the pom pom of the hat hit the student in the eye. 
The following exchange ensued:
Me: 
"(Insert name of student), please stop.  
You don't want to hurt anybody, do you?"
Anonymous kindergartner: 
(displaying some remorse, yet with a small smile) 
"Yes."
