Events & Activities
One of the best things about St. Francis is our warm and welcoming community. We have many involved parents who share of their time, talent and treasure for our school, students and teachers.
In addition to our volunteer leadership Boards, SFS parents organize events and activities throughout the year. Please review the list below and reach out if you would like to get more involved.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
