SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO

Everything You Want to Know

Week of May 30, 2022

 

FROM THE PRINCIPAL: 

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is the first day of June!  It seems just yesterday we were opening the doors to another school year.  As we wind down this academic year, it provides us an opportunity to give thanks to all that have given so much to the school this year:

• Our 23 8th grade students have blessed our halls during their time at SJF.  As they head their separate ways to high school to start the next chapter in their lives, we hope they return often to keep us updated!  

  • Peyton Andreas, Graham Barton, Grant Bordeaux, Roarke Brady, Sidd Chitgopekar, Lucas Cushman, Cash Day, Mary Doherty, Charlotte Eder, Jane Fender, Henry Hammer, Lucia Jones, James Kennedy, Ellie Keppinger, Cole Koopman, Charlotte Kroenke, Jon Lufkin, Roman Mallard, Liam McGinty, Lucas Motsko, Grady Tobecksen, Francis Vowels and Olive Willes

• In addition, there are 16 families graduating with their students as well.  Thank you so much for all your years of time, talent and treasure!

  • John and Hilary Andreas, Matt and Kristin Barton, Scott and Lisa Bordeaux, Sean and Alicia Brady, Unmesh and Rajeshri Chitgopekar, Jamison and Venera Cushman, Steve and Lesley Day, Michael and Michelle Doherty, Thomas and Nell Fender, Jacob and Tiffany Hammer, Alex and Andrea Jones, Chris and Gracielle Kroenke, Ryan and Erin Lufkin, Wes and Whitney Mallard, Jason and Monica Motsko and Derik and Amanda Vowels

• Six members of our leadership councils are completing their years of service: Chris and Jessica Ebersole - PTC President Couple, Kristin Barton - SAC Marketing, Matt Barton - SAC Finance, Alaina Birkland - PTC Secretary and Devin Koopman - SAC Facilities.  Thank you for all your hard work guiding our school successfully through these unprecedented times and helping ensure our strong mission for years to come.

Thank you one and all for making this year so successful!  Our students truly demonstrated their ability to grow as active Christians, engaged learners and responsible citizens!

Blessings on the final countdown to summer!
