Planning is under way for this summer’s Vacation Bible School program. Our first meeting is April 26 at 7 p.m. in the staff lounge. Please consider joining us; it takes about 75 volunteers to staff a successful VBS program.
Many activities need to be done before the actual week of VBS, and many can be done from the comfort of your home. We’ll be discussing ways to bring this summer’s theme (“Upon This Rock I Will Build My Church”) to life, as well as filling the many volunteer positions; station leaders and assistants are needed in games, crafts, snack, and bible lessons (AS ALWAYS, OUR BIGGEST NEED IS BIBLE LESSON LEADERS; EVERYTHING IS PLANNED FOR YOU - YOU JUST FOLLOW THE LESSON); group leaders are also needed to guide children from station to station.
During the actual week of VBS, volunteers can assist all week, or a few days. Any adult or student at least 7th grade or older may volunteer. This activity does count for hours for those who need them per the St. Francis School volunteer hours policy. Contact Lori Mazzone at 345-9874 x 222 for further information.
This year’s VBS runs June 20-24 from 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

As a reminder, this is an excerpt from the letter that was posted prior to Spring Break:
"We have been asked to participate in a fund raising effort along with Blessed Sacrament School for Jazmyn Adkins in memory of Kayla Layton. Students who choose to purchase a $15.00 purple hair extension from Bellezza Salon may wear it during the break and on MONDAY, APRIL 4th ONLY. That day will be a casual day for all, with purple being the suggested color to wear. Students may choose to send in a donation for that casual day, and we will be sure that all money collected will be sent to Jazmyn’s cause."
Many thanks to those who sent in donations. Over $600.00 has been collected so far! PLEASE REMEMBER that purple hair extensions MUST BE REMOVED prior to coming to school tomorrow. Please call Lisa Wells at 334-3686 if you need instructions in removing the hair extension.
