Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families,
The world around us is full of renewal as a warming creation dissolves the winter’s hard cold and breathes spring to life. This past Saturday was Earth Day 2023 whose mission is to build the world’s largest environmental movement to drive transformative change for people and planet. This kind of movement makes real the ongoing power of the Resurrection - making things new again and it is our responsibility to do what we can. In the beauty of the earth, we can see reflections of the beauty of God. Prayer Open our eyes, Open our ears, To the lesson of creation so that we may learn: The joy of flowers dancing in the April sun; The strength of a blade of grass pushing through earth; The stillness of a northern lake reflecting a full moon; The insistence of young birds yearning to live; And to fly … May the sunlight and the rain be reminders that You are at work renewing the earth. As a God of renewal, You are ever at work in our lives, too. Open our eyes to the needed changes in our lives this Spring. Awaken us to new life and perspective, for this we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. Territorial Skills Competition Congratulations to the St. Francis students who competed in last weeks Territorial Skills competition. Each student brought home a medal - Baking Silver Medal, Welding Silver Medal and Carpentry Gold Medal. All three competitors worked extremely hard to achieve these stellar results! Professional Development Day There is no school for students on Monday May 1st due to a Professional Development Day for all staff. Student Led Conferences Thank you to everyone who came out to the Student Led conferences last week.
