✨It’s been a busy month in our school library. Mrs. Kiliany had our 1st graders dive into the ocean 🌊 as they listened to “Jonah and the 🐳Whale”, while 2nd graders drove the “Magic School 🚌Bus” with Ms. Frizzle and designed their own dinosaurs🦕. Our 3rd grade classes recreated the covers of their favorite books📚. Our teachers foster a love of reading at SFCS! #SFCS

I chose you from the world, to go and bear fruit that will last, says the Lord. John 15:16

Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing make you afraid. All things are passing. God alone never changes. Patience gains all things. If you have God, you will want for nothing. God alone suffices- St. Teresa of Avila

I am a poor shepherd, I have only a wretched stable, a small manger, some wisps of straw. I offer all these to you, be pleased to come into my poor hovel. Make haste, O Jesus, I offer you my heart; my soul is poor and bare of virtues, the straws of so many imperfections will prick you and make you weep - but O my Lord what can you expect? this little is all I have. - St. John XXIII

✨Our 8th grade students were hard at work during Mrs. Roberts’ physical education class this week. The plank challenge was a relay race where students had to jump over their teammates in plank positions. The team that finished first was crowed the winner. They also participated in a push-up game where they had to high five each other as they came up from the push-up. The partners with the highest number of pushups won. It was a fiercely contested battle of 8th grade power!💪🏻 #SFCS
