The teachers, staff, and I are so thankful for all of our SJF families. We know that you have many choices when it comes to educating your children and we are honored, every year, that you continue to choose St. Jane Frances.  We'd like to give a big thank you to all of the parents who coordinated our Thanksgiving feast. The students loved it! Our PTO is in the middle of planing our Christmas Program celebration with food trucks, raffle items, and activities for the whole family. Tickets are on sale today for $10 a person (SJF students get in free!). Today was the first day of our new lunch service and it was DELICIOUS! If you are interested in ordering lunch for tomorrow, you can order up until midnight! https://organickidsla.com/ Our Fall book fair is next week! Flyers are going home today and this week is the perfect time to set up your child's e-wallet so they don't need to bring cash to school :)  Our school carnival is coming up iFebruary 17-19. This will be a very big event for the school- please save the date and be on the lookout for more information in the next few weeks! School Parking:  Pick up and drop off are becoming a major issue. Please read below: Hamlin St: Hamlin street should be for valet DROP OFF only. Parents should not park on Hamlin street and walk into the school. Please do not double park. Please try to be good neighbors & don't park in or across driveways. Church lot: If you would like to walk your child to class, please park in the lot. Remember not to park in handicap spaces or in the red in front of the church. Happy birthday to Mrs. Lyons 11/27 (2nd grade aide) and Mrs Gomez 12/4 (1st grade aide). May they both be blessed with good health and happiness always.  REMINDERS: Save the Date: Our Christmas program has been scheduled for December 16th (in the evening).
