Yesterday, we sent a recap of our Project Park Safely meeting on Tuesday night. You can view the email here. Please note the following information (and additional three-year level):
Out of appreciation for current parents making a major gift commitment, we are offering the following options to ensure your child has an onsite parking space during the school day at the following levels:
- $3,000: Spot for one year
- $5,000: Spot for two years
- $10,000: Spot for three years
Parents may indicate they wish to reserve the spot on the pledge or online donation form. We will share more detailed information via email after the Thanksgiving holiday related to the logistics of future parking at SFHS. If you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to a member of our Advancement Team.

Coming soon! We invite all members of the SFHS community to participate in our 25th annual Toy Drive and Gift Card Collection to benefit our friends and neighbors in need. Nurturing relationships and serving others are a beloved part of our holiday tradition and essential to following the Francis Way.
Students can bring new, unwrapped toys and games and place them under the school tree in the Atrium from December 1-15. We are also collecting $10 and $25 gift cards from Aldi, Jewel, Meijer, Target, and Walmart; and $25 Visa and Mastercard gift cards. Please place gift cards in the collection bin near the tree.
You may also bring your donation to all performances of A Christmas Carol December 5-7; the Christmas band and choir concert Sunday, December 14; and girls and boys home basketball games December 11-12.
