Open House & Turkey Dinner
Sunday, Jan. 25th from 11-2
To kick off Catholic Schools Week each year, we hold an Open House for anyone interested in St. Francis School. Our current school parents and teachers are on hand to give private tours of the school and answer any questions. This event is open to families with children of all ages, even if your child is too young to start school. We have a “Future Families” program that offers benefits for students who aren’t yet school age. Click here to view our event page: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DFaAjpoeM/
Although our open house is held on a Sunday we want to show prospective families a school that is alive and busy! So during the open house, we also host a turkey dinner fundraiser which is available for everyone. (click here for details : https://www.facebook.com/share/1DFaAjpoeM/
Also, our Knights of Columbus is hosting a Hoop Shoot in our gym starting at noon. Come and enjoy these events and see what makes St. Francis School such a special place to learn and grow.
