I wish I had answers for you, but all I can say right now is THANK YOU!  Thank you for choosing Catholic education and for choosing St. Jane Frances for your families. I know it is hard. We are all struggling financially, socially, and emotionally and I want you to know that we are grateful for your faith and trust in our school faculty. We will make it through this together and we will be stronger for it! If you are interested in helping us brainstorm and/or run a virtual fundraiser this year, please join us for a zoom session on Wednesday at 3:30pm bit.ly/SJFZoom password: SJF We'd also like to congratulate our 2nd grade teacher, Mr. Marinoff, on his recent engagement! May God bless him and his fiancee with many years of happiness.  REMINDERS: We have received clearance to resume sports "practice" with social distancing. If any parent is interested in coaching a team please contact Mr. Cuevas (ECuevas@stjanefrancesschool.org) and hopefully we can start some team practice on campus soon!
