Traver vs. SFDS 3rd – 8th Grade Track Meet

Students in grades 3-8 may wear casual clothes tomorrow for the track meet. Bring water bottles and dress for the weather!

 CDC UPDATE on Face Coverings/Masks:

On Thursday, May 13, 2021, the CDC released updated guidance that fully vaccinated people can resume activities they did before the pandemic, including participating in indoor and outdoor activities – large or small – without wearing a mask or physically distancing. One of the important exceptions to this updated mask guidance was K-12 Schools. As of now, the CDC’s school guidance remains unchanged. Most students are still unvaccinated and as a result, the CDC is advising that teachers, school administrators, staff and visitors should continue to mask and follow physical distancing guidelines until more people and children are vaccinated.

**Tomorrow – Fundraiser **

On Wednesday, May 26th the delicious and generous MOD Pizza (213 S. Edwards Blvd.) is donating back 20% of Takeout, Delivery & Pick up orders to support a great cause — raise funds to help us get to Washington DC in the Spring of 2022! On behalf of St. Francis de Sales School Class of 2022, you’re invited to join us and eat out, not only in support of the organization, but to show one of your Lake Geneva restaurants some love too!

We ask that you RSVP here: www.groupraise.com/events/190040 (even if you’re not completely sure) so MOD Pizza knows roughly how many orders to expect & so you have access to all the event details.

We hope you can make it, and please feel free to forward this invitation to your friends and family. Thanks in advance for your support! Class of 2022! St. Francis de Sales Parish School

SAVE the DATE 5K Run/Walk & Fun Fair

Still time to register for our 9th Annual 5K Run/Walk and Fun Fair – SFDS.5K.Run – on Saturday, May 29 at 8am. It is $30 per person and includes a t-shirt when you sign up by May 16. The run will be chip-timed again this year. Let’s safely get together outdoors for our first family gathering of the school year. New this year, you will get to walk through and see some student Academic Fair projects on display and FunFair activities from some of our classes. Plus, we will have a water balloon launching competition and beer tent available after the race. It’s going to be a blast! You can sign up now at SFDS.5K.Run.  

We are still in need of a few volunteers. If your kids are running and you will be at the event, please consider volunteering to be on the course to help provide directions for the runners and cheer them on.
