St. Francis of Assisi School
It's Catholic Schools week at St. Francis of Assisi School.
On Monday, we had a school-wide retreat with a focus on the Family Life Program. Our retreat day started with Mass celebrated by our traveling pastor, Father Cornelius Onyigbuo.
On Wednesday evening, we held our first annual “Miracle Fair.” The Miracle Fair is a display of posters researched and made by the students on a saint of their choice. Some students worked individually; some worked in a group. All in all, the presentations were impressive! Parents/guardians, family members and the community were invited to attend and to enjoy light refreshments. One parent commented, “I didn’t know there were so many saints!”
Thursday was a fun afternoon. Students in grades 7-8 led field day games with teams comprised of students of all grade levels. Our older students are always so kind and helpful to our younger students. Teachers enthusiastically prepared students for all events and oversaw their successful completion.
On Friday, our athletic director hosted a sledding party with hot dogs and hot chocolate! Many students and families attended this event.
Finally, the Scholastic Book Fair operated during the entire week to encourage our students to read, read, read! Students also submitted their names for a drawing for scholastic posters and books.
