SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO - Everything You Wanted To Know Week of 11-18-24 A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL: Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever! -Psalm 107:1- As we prepare for Thanksgiving next week, our virtue for this week is Gratitude. Through dedicated gifts of time, talent and treasure, our faculty, staff, parents and students work tremendously hard each and every day to provide our SJF community with a quality Catholic education. Thank you for all you do for St. John Fisher Church and School! We will celebrate gratitude as a school community this Wednesday at our annual Thanksgiving luncheon. Our chef’s have been working around the clock to make a huge feast we will share in our family groups, followed by recess and our Thanksgiving Mass. All are welcome to either volunteer and help at the luncheon or join us for our Mass at 1pm.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO - Everything You Wanted To Know Week of 11-11-24 A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL: This week is our final week for the “High 5 For Ronald McDonald House.” The concept is that classes will generate a donation that represents $5 for every student in their class. For example, 8th grade with 25 students would raise $125. If we accomplish this goal, our total donation would be $1,125. BREAKING NEWS!!! We have a generous donor that has offered to match our fundraising efforts for Ronald McDonald House up to $5,000! Should you choose to donate via check, please make your check payable to St. John Fisher as we will make 1 collective payment to Ronald McDonald House. Thanks for your commitment to supporting our goal of building active Christians and responsible citizens through service!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO - Everything You Wanted To Know Week of 11-04-24 A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL: This week we started our second service project of the year, “High 5” for Ronald McDonald House. Our middle school leadership team chose this service project as they wanted to make an impact for people their own age. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon and SW Washington provides access to medical care, a home away from home, and a community of support for seriously ill or injured children and their families. This project will run from Monday, November 4th to Friday, November 15th. Each class has an individual goal based on their enrollment. For example, Kindergarten has a goal of $115.00 (23 students at $5.00 a piece), while 5th-grade has a goal of $130.00 (26 students at $5.00 a piece). Every class that meets their goal will receive a special treat the week before Christmas break. Thank you to Mr. Vecchione and our middle school Leadership elective for organizing this service project for our community.
