A Note from the Principals

Good afternoon,

This week, the students will have mass on Monday AND on Friday. 

Santa's workshop will be on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday this week. All students have received a white envelope to make their Christmas list and bring in their money. 

PARKING: This week, starting tomorrow, the church will start repaving the lower parking lot. We thank you in advance for your patience as we navigate the logistics of this project. Logistics of drop off and pick up will be the same. Families may park on Hamlin Street instead of the church lot this week. Due to the limited parking, we have decided to cancel the Christmas train parade this year. We know it will be a bit frustrating over the next week, so please try not to arrive early for pickup and plan for extra time if needed. 

Please join us for our Winter Showcase performance Thursday night at 7pm and support our Performing Arts programs. See attached flyer! Pre-purchase your tickets and Cocoa & Cookies packages online here (ticket prices will increase at the door): https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/sjf-winter-showcase           *Note: this is SEPARATE from our classroom Christmas shows on Thursday, Dec. 18th, and is meant to be a fundraiser for our performing arts classes. Everyone is invited.

  • It is the responsibility of parents to inform anyone picking up their children about this new procedure. 

  • NO families will be allowed to enter through the Hamlin entrance unless they are a neighborhood family within walking distance to the school. 

  • There will be additional communication to come.

A Note from the Principals

Dear Parents,
Over the next several weeks, I’ll be sharing insights from The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt — a book that’s sparking important conversations about how today’s technology-driven childhood affects our children’s mental health, friendships, and faith formation.

Our goal is simple: to help families rediscover what kids really need to thrive — connection, courage, faith, and freedom. Each week, you’ll find a short blurb in this newsletter with a practical “try this” tip to support healthy growth at home.

We can’t turn back time, but we can move forward with wisdom — helping our children find peace and purpose in a noisy world. I encourage you to get a copy and read along with us!
-Mrs. Giron
