✝️Today students from PreK - 8th grade "Celebrated our Community" by assembling "Blessing Bags" full of toiletries, snack and personal care products donated from all our generous school families. Half of the bags were brought over to our Parish Pastoral Center to the Director of Social Concerns, Bidgie Williamson who delivered them to the Ozanam Shelter. The other half was dropped off by Security Guard Tony at the New Dover United Methodist Church where they will be packed up with lunches for the homeless and delivered to St. Joseph Social Service in Elizabeth. There they will distributed to communties in need. It was was such a wonderful day at SFCS to see how our charitable actions can help so many people in need.😃 #SFCS
✨As part of Dr. Macaluso’s “Wellness Program”, our middle school students set goals for themselves. The children learned that writing📝goals down helps to gain clarity, focus, accountability, motivation, and a sense of direction. The students can see how their daily choices connect to future success. Dr. Macaluso explained that not all goals are achieved, and that is okay; but setting goals help shape a positive mindset and encourage growth.🌟#SFCS
✨Our PreK and Kindergarten classes had a fantastic time entertaining guests in their classrooms yesterday.
