Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families,
We recognize the need to remember that to be prepared for unexpected events in our life means we must work together – we pray for good people to work together in unity, peace, and healing. Let us pray Our world needs people of integrity: whose word is their true promise; who put a solid character above wealth; who possess opinions, a strong will and a sharp mind; who will be as honest in all things; who will make no compromises in living truth; whose ambitions go beyond selfish desires to the good of all and our earth; who will not mindlessly follow "because everybody else does it;" who are true to their friends through good times and bad, in hardship as well as in success; who believe that hard work, faithfulness, honesty and responsibility are the best qualities for winning success; who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular; who can confidently say "no”, although all the rest of the world says "yes." Our world needs people of one mind and heart to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Our world needs people of faith who rely on their God’s wisdom. Amen. School Council Update: A huge thank you to parent volunteers who helped out with pizza lunches at the school over the last few months. This raised approximately $700 which the Council will put towards activities that support student clubs and help improve student experiences at the school. Thank you to Shanna Epp, Kim Thompson, Jennifer Dehart, Ryan Sikkes, James Paterson, Sarah Holmberg and Chelsea White. A special thank you to Shanon Cooper who attended each pizza lunch as the School Council representative, and to Ms. Wallace, Ms. Clarke and Ms. Ouellette who helped things run smoothly each time. Our first Council-supported event will start this week and it is free after-school yoga classes each Wednesday of May. Youth mental health is a relevant and important topic for all of us. Yoga is a small way to support students in self-care and connection. The sessions are open to all St. Francis students. Please encourage your young people to consider attending. Sessions are 3:30-4:30 on May 10,17,24 and 31. Students do not need to register in advance, and can come to one or all of the sessions. Please feel free to contact the School Council if you have ideas, concerns, or an interest in volunteering. Email is [email protected] Happy Spring! Yearbook FINAL CHANCE TO BUY A YEARBOOK!
