Junior High Locks and Lockers
Students in grades 7-8 have lockers in the junior high hallway. We recommend they lock their lockers in the evening and on the weekends. If they chose to do this, we require they use school provided locks. Seventh and eight graders who desire to lock their lockers may pick up a lock form in the school office. There is a $10 fee for lock use.

Moms in Prayer
Moms in Prayer is a group of Moms praying for the students, staff and families at St. Francis of Assisi School. Each week we focus our prayers towards one of our classrooms and the prayer requests of those students. This year we will meet via Zoom on Monday mornings at 9:30 a.m. We will be praying an intentional rosary and should take about 20 minutes. Praying for our children is a great way to start off the school week. If you would like to join us in prayer or for more information contact Charlotte Bruining at shaarchar@hotmail.com.
