Mini Vinnies are sponsoring their Annual Food Drive! This food drive helps our St. Vincent DePaul Society fill Thanksgiving food baskets for the needy in our parish. We are asking each grade to donate specific items that are still needed for the baskets. Please choose from the items listed for your grade. Thank you for your generosity!
Liberty comes at a price, and the men and women who serve our country are willing to pay that price for our freedom and peace. We thank you, we salute you, and we honor you. Thank you to all Veterans! “Every day, there are heroes who never meant to be. People give, people care. There are heroes everywhere.”

We were grateful to have Ben Tracy speak to SFA's students, parents, and teachers today. He is running across America, raising awareness about the dangers of social media. We thank him for his passion for keeping students safe. Our students, parents, and teachers are better aware because of his mission!

2nd grade is learning about the properties of matter and how to test for flexibility. They tried to bend plastic spoons, metal spoons, rubber bands, straws, and spaghetti noodles. They felt strong when they broke the metal spoons! They all did a small taste test on the spaghetti noodles. Great Job, 2nd grade!
