Dear St. Francis Community,

Thank you so much for your participation in the recent Pepperoni Roll fundraiser.  Due to the combined efforts of our parents, faculty, and staff we were able to raise $17,130.00.  That amount equates to 80% of the anticipated profit for this fundraiser and it serves as a great first step to our $100,000.00 fundraising goal for this year!  As stated in previous communications, fundraising proceeds are not intended to be used for operational expenses such as salaries, benefits, utilities, etc.  Rather, these proceeds will be allocated toward school advancement and development projects.  There are a variety of potential uses for these funds and those needs are currently being assessed and prioritized.  Once the fundraising proceeds have been designated for use in connection with specific projects or programs, you will be fully informed of their use, along with the impact that it will have on our students and school programs.  Thank you once again for your collective dedication to the continued advancement of our school and its programs as we strive, in accordance with the Gospel, to continually seek ways to improve and increase our “talents.”  May God’s blessings be with you and your loved ones.   Peace.
