Dear Saint Francis Dads
As we come to a very successful close of our school year I want to thank all the dads and moms who have supported our Men’s Club responsibilities throughout the year. We achieved new highs with this year’s concessions revenue, and without the support of all of you and your families, it just doesn't happen. For me, it was a great opportunity to meet so many new and energetic dads who were willing to give their time to Saint Francis High School. I want to especially thank all of the coordinators for making sure we had quality coverage at all our events, and boy, there were a few for sure! I know that each and everyone of you sacrificed many personal hours to support these events, and we tip our hats to you. Bravo!

Dear Saint Francis Moms
Wow! The 2007-2008 school year has flown by for me. It was filled with so much energy, excitement, new friendships and wonderful memories. I turned over the gavel to Cathy Avon on April 30 at our Honor and Installation Dinner. I am certain she will lead us with tons of creativity and loads of energy.
