Several athletes from our 8th grade class of 2017 made their futures evident last week, as they officially signed letters of intent or celebrated their commitment to attend colleges across the country for their sport.

SFA teacher and alumni parent, Ann Cooper, talks about her calling as an educator and the pride she feels when she sees her former students taking on leadership roles. “Teaching is more than just a job, it is a vocation. It fills my heart to see that the seeds we have planted are being formed.”

On January 31st St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School will be hosting a Virtual Open House event with several ways for our existing community and prospective families to celebrate and gain a better understanding of our school! Read more to find links!

SFA Principal, Jeannette Lambert, explains Growth Mindset and how it is cultivated at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School. The school strives to give each student the opportunity to challenge themselves to go beyond where they’ve been before. “It is the voice that says, ‘I may not be able to do this now, but let me try again.’” She believes that it is important to look at the development of the whole child. “...not just their academic growth, but who they are as a person...spiritually, physically, and intellectually.”

SFA Alumni Parent, Angie Wintheiser, shares what it is like to journey through St. Francis as a parent, reflecting on the way that the school meets the unique needs of each child and how she dreams of sending her grandchildren to SFA in the future. “There is an opportunity for us all to rally for growth and the future and to celebrate this community and make it even better for tomorrow.”

SFA Founding Pastor, Seamus Glynn, remembers where we began and he looks forward to what the future has in store for St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School. He encourages families to invest in what’s to come for our children and our community, emphasizing that the sacrifice is really worth it. “You may not see it today, but you’ll look back and say, 'This all began and has continued through the teaching at the school.'”

SFA alumnus and missionary, Justin Gauthier, shares how his faith foundation began at St. Francis and how he has found the same church and the same faith practiced all over the world. His story reminds us that a foundation of faith can start wherever we are at in our journey and it can take us great distances!
