View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Good morning! We commemorate Jesus Christ’s ascension into heaven this Thursday by celebrating Ascension Day, which occurs on the Thursday, which is 40 (or 39) days after Easter. We'd like to invite all of our SJF moms to mass on Friday, May 10th for a special day celebrating our Mothers! Mass starts at 8am.  We will have mass on Thursday AND Friday this week. Thank you to everyone who came out to the Gala on Saturday or supported us from home. We made over $8,000 in cash donations!  This week we are celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. A BIG thank you to Mrs. Wilson for helping to coordinate the fun activities and teacher lunches this week. Happy birthday to Mr. Cuevas & Fr. Antonio (Tuesday) and Ms. Lerchenmuller (Thursday). May God bless you always! Reminders from last week: EPI School Supply ordering is back by popular demand!  Order your school supplies for the 2023-24 school year now and you'll only need to purchase a backpack and lunchbox. CLICK HERE to order your supplies. *This is only a convenience option for families who would like to purchase supplies this way.    Many Blessings! Mrs. Giron & Mr. Salazar Did you Know? Sometimes rumors can spread and we have no way of clearing them up... Here is what I'd like parents to know: Some parents have expressed concern about the teacher dress code. In general, teachers dress business casual. I do allow jeans days for the faculty to promote comfort, practicality, and a positive work environment, contributing to a more effective and enjoyable teaching experience for both educators and students. THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century Digital Resource: Dangers of Location Sharing  Your location is one of the most dangerous pieces of information about yourself if it’s in the wrong hands. Unfortunately, convincing kids to share their location is a common grooming tactic we’ve seen before. That’s why kids should know to never share their location, the school they attend, or any other location-specific information with strangers online.  Quicklinks: Uniforms: https://www.dennisuniform.com/schools/SH00JF https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/16TU760L52XNI?ref_=wl_share Tuition Payments: (866) 441-4637  https://online.factsmgt.com/SignIn.aspx  School Calendar:  HERE and on our website Parent Student Handbook: HERE Hot Lunch: https://ali-cateringservice.com/october-st-jane-frances-de-chantal-school/ Save the Date Teacher Appreciation Week Thursday: 8am Ascension Mass Friday: 8am Mass, May Crowning, & Mother's Day Appreciation School Calendar SPARTAN SPORTS CONGRATULATIONS to our boy's soccer team who placed 3rd in their division this season!

Following the death of her fiancé she entered a convent, but soon returned home to care for her newly widowed mother. Meanwhile, Rose invited the women of the neighborhood to recite the rosary in her home, forming a sort of sodality with them. Saint Rose Venerini, pray for us.
