We would like to thank each of our families for choosing SJF and Catholic Schools. It is a sacrifice and an intentional decision that you make for the future of your children & we are so happy to be able to help you educate them and share the love of God with them everyday! Please see the flyer below to see the fun events we have planned for the week. We have also attached the flyer for Grandparent's Day! ::ATTENTION:: Our carnival dates have CHANGED!
