Dear SFX Families,
Over the past two weeks, while filling in for Mr. Watson, I’ve found myself reflecting often on just how grateful I am to be a part of this community.
For those of you who may not know, I have been a member of the SFX community for 15 years. Much of that time was spent as part of our junior high team, teaching 8th grade social studies, and both of my own children are proud graduates of St. Francis. This school has always held a special place in my heart, most especially because of the people who make up our staff.
As an administrator, I am blessed with the daily opportunity to witness the remarkable work happening in our classrooms, the compassion extended to students in moments of struggle, and the countless small but meaningful acts of care that our teachers and support staff pour into each day. These moments, big and small, reflect the heart of our mission and the deep love we share for our students.
I would also like to thank my colleagues for the incredible support they have shown me during this time. Your willingness to step in, collaborate, and lift one another up is what makes our school so strong. And to our larger SFX community—parents, families, and friends—I am deeply grateful for your partnership, trust, and the ways you support both our students and our staff each day.
As we head into Fall Break, I wish our staff, students, and families a safe, relaxing, and joy-filled few days. May it be a time of rest and renewal for all.
With gratitude,
Mandi Jemsek
Vice Principal
