Celebrating 2/22/22! Message from the Principal As we officially say goodbye to February, we welcome the beginning of Lent. We also are introduced to the virtue of Mercy, caring for those who suffer. Our students will learn about the lives and lessons of saints such as St. John Vianney, St. Faustina, and St. Mother Teresa, who all exemplified the virtue of Mercy. The next few weeks will be busy and go very fast. Please take some time to read through events coming up in March. I would also like to highlight that we are enrolling students in our all-day preschool program here at St. Francis! If you are interested in more information, please contact the office or email our admissions director Monica Steinmetz. Next week will be the premier of our spring play The Elevator Family! We will also have a dress rehearsal at school on Wednesday March 2nd for our students and staff. I'm very much looking forward to seeing our theater students shine! Have a wonderful weekend! Blessings, Mr. Poterucha Principal, St. Francis of Assisi School |
