Fiat is the Latin word for Mary’s “yes” to God to be the mother of Jesus. FIAT also provides a great acronym for our Faith in Action Team! It reminds us that we say “yes” to God by being involved in our faith. We will be learning about our faith, leading school prayer services, and having quarterly service projects that will help us to live out our faith, even as young people. At each meeting, students learn about a Catholic saint. Service projects include: one for the community—usually the food pantry, one for the Archdiocese—during Catholic Schools Week, and one for the parish—sponsoring the Soup & Stations during Lent. Mary’s FIAT is open to students in 5th through 8th grade.
Lights! Camera! Action! Each year students perform a musical. Students audition for, rehearse, wear customers, and learn what a stage production is all about and how to put on a great show.

The musical program is open to all students 1st through
8th grade.
The Ski Program is a partnership with The Grand Geneva Resort. On Wednesdays in the winter, students are able to go skiing or snowboarding at The Grand Geneva Resort and receive lessons with other SFdS based on their abilities. This is a great way to learn how to ski or snowboard and groups range from beginner to advanced. There is a fee associated with this program. The SFdS Ski Program is open to students ages 7 and up.
Student Voice is an organization that allows students to help make decisions that affect students and give students the opportunity to discuss possible changes to the school. Student Voice meets during lunch where students can voice their opinions, plan school-wide events and programs, discuss different ways to improve the school from the student perspective. Each classroom is assigned a Student Voice representative to be their “voice” in the meetings. Student Voice is open to students 5th through 8th grade.
