A BIG thank you to the 25+ State Farm volunteers for their Good Neighbor Service Day here at St. Francis. The volunteers worked hard painting the Multi-Purpose Room, moving furniture in the classrooms, painting hop-scotch and four-square games on the playground, prepping the playground area for new rubber mulch, mowing grass, weeding and mulching the flower beds, moving the Blessed Mary statue in the courtyard to her new platform and organizing the store across the street. Phew! That’s a lot of work! Without your help, these projects would not have been completed! We so gratefully appreciate all your hard work and sweat – it was hot that day! Many Blessings to you all!
