Good morning SJF Families,

We'll be having a cereal drive for Pan de Vida, our church's food pantry. Please bring in a box of cereal to donate this week! All donations will go to families in need in our community.

Blessing of the Animals will be next Wednesday 10/4 during morning assembly at 7:45am. Students are encouraged to bring a pet, a photo, a drawing, or a stuffed animal to have blessed. ALL live pets MUST go home at the end of the prayer service.

It's Jog-a-Thon Time! This year's theme is Bubble Run :)

The PTO has organized Hispanic Heritage Celebration on Friday afternoon. Please join us on Friday at 12:00 to learn more about these countries!

Please welcome our new security guard, Mr. Lezama, and our new Middle School Aide, Mrs. Johnson, to our school!

Reminders from last week:
Uniforms: We know Dennis uniform is very backed up. We have put together an Amazon list with acceptable uniforms. This list includes, pants, shorts, skirts, jumpers, ties, & mass shirts (it does NOT include PE uniform, polos, or mass sweaters). We are working on coordinating with another online supplier for our items with logos. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/16TU760L52XNI?ref_=wl_share

Did you know that our church is celebrating its 75th anniversary? They are celebrating by holding a celebratory mass with the Archbishop on October 22nd at 11am. Everyone is invited! They will also be holding a special raffle on that day for cash prizes. The BEST part is that 100% of the profits from the raffle are dedicated to our gym renovations!! Raffle tickets are available in the school or church office for $5 (If you buy 4 tickets, we will credit you 1 service hour!). Good luck & thank you for your support!!

Would you like to get some service hours? Here is a list of books that our teacher add to through the school year. Every $30 spent from our wishlist is equal to 1 hour. Thank you!
