Weekly Updates
November 2016
Greetings,
Welcome to "Super Moon Monday"! I hope everyone takes a minute to view the super moon. It is another wonderful example of God's beautiful creation. Friday marks the mid term point of the second quarter. Please check with your children to make sure all their work is turned in by this date. Reports will be sent home on Tuesday, November 22nd.
Congratulations to the 37 young people who were confirmed on Sunday. It was a beautiful ceremony and the church was packed. Just one more testimony to the fact that SS. Francis and John Parish is a vibrant and growing community.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
The 7th graders wrote and illustrated their own folktales to read the 1st graders.
Last week the 2nd grade students studied the 10 Commandments and made a 10 Commandments book. They also made treat bags for patients and staff at Georgetown Hospital. The hospital was very thankful for our generosity.
