SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO
Everything You Want to Know
Week of October 17, 2022
FROM THE PRINCIPAL:
We can't wait to come together as a community this Friday night for our Bingo Fundraiser! Friday Oct. 21st, 6-8pm at the Corrado Center, all families are welcome! Cost for BINGO is $20/player and we have amazing prizes and raffle items galore! Pizza and drinks available for purchase. All proceeds from the event benefits the HOSA elective trip to Nationals. Please RSVP here Family Bingo Night RSVP if you plan to come!
Additionally this Friday, students have the opportunity to wear “free dress” with a free will offering for “Free Dress For Florida.” All proceeds benefit Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Venice, FL. The Diocese Of Venice encompasses the cities hardest hit when Ian made landfall, as well as areas like Arcadia, a community towards the center of the state that was hard hit by flooding. Thanks for your support!
Last week we launched our parent/teacher conference sign ups and I’m happy to report that 81% of families have scheduled their conference. If you have not signed up yet, please do so by the end of the day today, 10/18. See the attached document for the links to the teacher conference sign up sheets. And because we love it when parents pay attention to the SAM, the first dozen families to email “free dress” to Mrs. Wasman will earn an additional free dress on Thursday, 10/20.

THE SJF HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL IS BACK
We are pleased to be bringing The SJF Halloween Carnival back to the old cafeteria Saturday October 29th from 6 – 9 PM. The haunted house will be back, the games will be back, and we are looking forward to seeing all the costumes, especially those kindergarten costumes. The Halloween Carnival is open to all families in all grades and it is especially a great opportunity for kindergarten and new families to meet other families. It is a great community event for SJF and the Men’s Club is proud to be bringing it back with the haunted house!
Tickets may be purchased at the event for the games, food, snacks, drinks, beer and wine (we will accept credit cards). It is two tickets for a dollar with the tickets redeemable for games, food and beverages (i.e. games cost only one ticket for kids).
We need a few more volunteers to help with decorating the haunted house and during the event. Decorating and cleanup are worth double volunteer hours since they are later in the evening. If you are interested in volunteering signup here:

access code: sjfhalloween2022!
The Halloween Carnival will be from 6 - 9 PM on Saturday, October 29th in the old cafeteria.
