St. Francis Update November 17-21

​St. Francis Update 
Week of November 17 to November 21 
 
Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families, 
 
Prayer 
Dear Lord,
thank You for inviting me to follow You
And for the times You wait for me to catch up.
Learning from You, may I be patient with others,
A visible sign of the love You envelop.
Amen. 
 
Thank you to Lotteries Yukon
St. Francis Senior Girls Volleyball Team would like to sincerely thank Lotteries Yukon for their support of our trip to Surrey , BC to attend the Peace Arch News Classic Tournament in October.  We enjoyed the competition and learned a lot as a team, and we could not have attended without the Travel Assistance Program funding that Lotteries provided to each player and coach.  Thank you, Lotteries Yukon!

Youth Clinic – St. Francis
My name is Stephanie Coombes, and I am a registered nurse with the Yukon Government. I am looking forward to supporting the health and well-being of students at St. Francis by providing monthly health clinics. I provide a variety of services including guidance on mental health, nutrition, physical activity, non-urgent care and health promotion. I work closely with the incredible teams of pediatricians at Lynx Health to provide low barrier primary care to youth who do not have a family doctor (but youth who do have a family doctor are welcome too!).  If your child has needle phobias for blood work or vaccines, I can work them with to do the bloodwork at school to reduce wait times in the hospital setting. 
Parents are welcome to call 867-335-1728 and speak to me if they have specific requests for health services or appointments for their children. 
Warm Regards,
Stephanie Coombes
