Thank you for helping make St. Francis of Assisi a place where faith, family, and community thrive. We are so grateful for our wonderful SFA families and all the ways you support our school! 💙🧡
We gathered with our incoming middle schoolers and their parents for Middle School Orientation! The evening was filled with helpful information, excited smiles, and a few nervous butterflies—but the favorite part was definitely heading to the locker room to set up lockers and, of course, pose for pictures with friends!
New lockers, new adventures, and plenty of memories waiting to be made. We can’t wait to watch this group unlock all that middle school has in store!
A huge THANK YOU to the amazing group of volunteers who came out last night to help us get SFA ready for the new school year! They carried furniture and boxes up and down the stairs, assembled new furniture, moved items into classrooms, and helped in about a million other ways.
It truly takes a village—and apparently a few drills, some strong backs, and a whole lot of Panther spirit! We are so grateful for each of you and the time you gave to help make SFA shine! 🧡💙
