From the Coordinator of Youth Ministry

Dear St. Francis Families,
 
 
Sophomore Retreat
Monday, February 10, 7:50 am - 2:30 pm

The Sophomore retreat is a day of Community Service.  Students come to school at the regular time and report to the Gym.  We will depart from school at 8:30am and head to our different work sites.  Students will work at their sites from 9:00am-noon. At noon, students return to campus for lunch and will be given time to reflect on their experiences from the day.  The day concludes with a mass at 1:30 pm.

Students should wear Shark-wear on this day.  Please bring a sweatshirt, as many sites are outside and could be cold in the morning.  Also, please wear tennis shoes. I recommend wearing a hat and bringing a water bottle.

Some of the students will be transported to the service sites with our SFHS vans, but I am in need of additional parent drivers and chaperones.  Please let Ms. McLeod know ASAP if you are able to drive: [email protected]. This is a fun way to earn service hours!
