A NOTE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

It seems just yesterday we were opening the doors to another school year and now we are in June. 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 25 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!  

  • Grayson Bauer, Faith Cadonau, Elise Carter, Sammy Davis, Kiah Dunne, Henry Eder, Clare Eilers, Dane Eldien, Carson Floberg, Brody Katcher, Carolyn King, Emma Lairson, Audri Levesque, James Lindgren, Finn McClaskey, Max Montang, Carter Nissen, Connor Olivier, Henry Pickard, Leo Reed, Corinne Schmidt, Hannah Showalter, Alejandra Vocker, Mac Wallace, and John West

• In addition, there are 9 families graduating with their students as well. Thank you so much for all your years of time, talent and treasure!

  • Mike and Shawna Davis, Jonathan and Margaret Eder, Chad Eldien and Regina Micheline-Eldien, Barry and Jordana Katcher, Ed and Andrea Lairson, Steve and Christi Pickard, Joseph and Amy Reed, Brian Showalter, John West, and Susan West

• Six members of our leadership councils are completing their years of service. Thank you for all your hard work guiding our school successfully and helping ensure our strong mission for years to come:

  • Pat and Erin McClaskey - PTC President Couple

  • Regina Micheline-Eldien and Christi Pickard - PTC Treasurer

  • Jill Wantland and Molly O’Neill - SAC Marketing and Development committee 

• Finally, we will be honoring our 3 retirees with a special retirement Mass on Wednesday, June 12th at 12:45pm. All are welcome to come and celebrate Father Richard, Beth Gould and Kerry Oliver!

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!

MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH CAMP WITH MR. DeVILLE

Last call to sign up for summer math camp with Mr. DeVille:

Summer 2024 Math Camp!

Join Mr. Greg DeVille for a week of math challenge work. The challenge camp is aimed at getting students excited about math, honing and practicing their skills and improving their teamwork, too. 

This year’s camp will include a focus on Algebra and pre-algebra readiness. Students will begin the week with group and individual work, and develop then present a project demonstrating skills learned on Friday. 

The lessons will include practice with foundational skills mixed with summer fun and engagement. This is the perfect camp for both students who wish to improve their math skills going into the 2024 school year as well as those looking for a greater math challenge.
