St. Francis de Sales celebrates Discover Catholic Schools Week!
Happy Thanksgiving!
As we look forward to next week's Thanksgiving vacation, we hope you will enjoy time with family and friends and have the chance for some fun and relaxation!
This is the time of year for giving thanks and we wish to take the opportunity to thank all of our students and families for helping us to create such a wonderful sense of community here at St. Francis de Sales. On behalf of our faculty and staff, Happy Thanksgiving!
May God continue to bless each of you this Thanksgiving and provide you the opportunity to reflect on His care, His peace, and His love. Enjoy the break and remain safe and healthy!
Cheer Camp 2025 was a huge success! Our thanks to Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Hallenback, Mrs. Antos, Mrs. Hernandez and Mrs. Wilson for their assistance and making this such a wonderful and memorable experience for our Cheer Camp participants. We will look forward to seeing our Campers perform at the 3rd and 4th Grade Basketball Tournament during the first week of December! Details to follow!
