School News The Scholastic Book Fair will run January 25-29. Students will have in person access during the school day and parents will have online shopping access. Here are a letter and flyer describing more details. No Weekly Broadcast next week. Hero t-shirt order forms and payment are due January 21. Here is the order form. Here are theme days and out of dress code plans for Catholic Schools Week! My name is Ms. Brenda Roth. I started on January 4th as the new elementary school counselor at St. Francis. Over the last 3 years I have been completing my Masters degree and praying for a school counseling position to become available where I can make an impact. After applying and interviewing, God made it clear that St. Francis was that place. I quickly packed up my life in Verndale, Minnesota and moved about 5 hours south to Rochester. My faith is very important to me and to be able to work in an environment where that is celebrated and strengthened has made it all worth it. I have not been here long but I can already tell that this is a special place. The students and staff have been very welcoming. I look forward to finishing this year strong. Please let me know if you have any questions! Please find the request form for third quarter HERE. We ask that this form be completed and returned to the school by Thursday, January 21st, if you are requesting Stay at Home Learning for your child(ren). On January 7th and 8th classroom spelling bee winners competed via the SCRIPPS National Spelling Bee Website to determine who would represent RCS at the city-wide spelling bee. Congratulations to Lillian VanBuskirk, who was the top St. Francis speller. Lillian tied for second place at the RCS level and will participate in a tie-breaking round of spelling. We are so proud of all of our Spelling bee participants!
