View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Happy 2nd week of Advent! The teachers and I had a great Advent retreat yesterday. Advent is a great time of preparation & joy. How are you celebrating with your families? We are collecting food donations for Pan de Vida this week. Please consider donating anything you can to those who are struggling this Christmas season! The office is open for donations from 7:30am-4pm daily.  REMINDERS: PRAYER REQUEST: Please take a minute to send up a prayer for Frankie's Mom in first grade. She is currently in the ICU after undergoing a routine outpatient procedure. We pray that she gets better soon and is able to come home.   Many Blessings! Mrs. Giron & Mr. Ranney SJF Parish News Please follow our SJF Church's new Facebook page!  http://www.stjanefrancesparish.org/  Also, if you can, PLEASE consider moving your weekly donations online through the parish Paypal HERE. They support us a lot through the years and will have a hard time without being able to have their weekend collections. Thank you!  Uniforms Our new uniform provider is Dennis uniforms.

This can take different forms – being withdrawn, acting out, disobeying, being tearful. Please reach out if you need support: Call the LA County Department of Mental Health (DMH) 24/7 Help Line at (800) 854-7771. The call is free AND confidential. Call your pediatrician or healthcare provider if you are concerned about your child. If you don't have a health care provider, dial 2-1-1 and we'll connect you to one. You can also visit DMH online at dmh.lacounty.gov/resources for resources related to back to-school and a number of other mental health topics.   Thank you for continuing to pay your tuition on time & allowing us to keep everyone on staff so far!
