I would like to thank the students and parents that attended our Catholic Schools Week kickoff Mass on Sunday. The students did an excellent job representing our school. Don't forget our "Morning Muffins" celebration tomorrow from 7:00 - 7:50. Please come and have a treat with your child before school.
Congratulations to our boys and girls in 7th/8th grade for their basketball victories on Saturday. The 5th/6th boys suffered their first defeat with a tough one point loss. Congratulations to Shea McGohon and George Ammari for winning their respective divisions in the Knights of Columbus free throw contest. They will advance to the district competition.
We have 41 dinner tickets we would like to sell and 90 raffle tickets left for the "Heart to Heart Adopt-a-Student" Dinner/Dance. Please get your tickets soon! It will be a wonderful night of fun and fellowship.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

Dear Parents,
Our school will be participating in the SchoolStore program this year. This online program helps our school earn cash without students selling door-to-door, collecting money or delivering products. Over 400 merchants, including Best Buy, Target and WalMart, have joined together to offer up to 50% of sales to our school for shopping through SchoolStore.com.
To shop and support our school, simply go to www.schoolstore.com and select our school.
Participation is key in helping get the word out about our School Store. On Tuesday, your child will come home with a parent packet requesting you to help them enter email addresses to friends and family. When you enter just 3 email addresses you'll receive a prize code your child can return the next day for a prize. Thank you for your families support of our school
Silent Auction Item Sneak Peek!!
Would you like to own a piece of history? During the renovation of St. Francis in 2017, several pieces of broken stain glass were removed and replaced. Some of the broken pieces have been made into a stain glass work of art by local artist, Frank Connor.
St. Francis de Sales was built in the 1800’s by the Dominicans. This one of a kind piece of art is valued at $350.00. It will be available at the silent auction during the Heart to Heart Adopt-A-Student Dinner and Dance on February 9
th.
SS. Francis & John Parish and St. John School will be hosting a night of dining, dancing, and fun. The evening festivities include a concert by our own Hannah Staub, along with a raffle and silent auction. The theme of our night together is Heart to Heart: Adopt-a-Student - A Gift of Love. This event will be a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the spirit of giving so prevalent in our parish.
In addition, we will have the opportunity to celebrate a man who embodies this spirit of giving; a man who has given his life to serve others, and to nurture and hand on the Catholic faith through the mission of his priesthood and the catechesis of young Catholics for more than 50 years: Fr. Bob Nieberding.
Please come and celebrate with us on February 9th at Cardome Centre as we honor Fr. Bob, and join in a community celebration to support the vital mission of education and evangelization.
