All other sections are reserved for students.
Awards will take place directly after Mass. Your child's homeroom teacher will notify you by Monday afternoon if your child is receiving an award on this day.
Directly following awards all students will return to the school building for dismissal for the Family Picnic. Students with last names A-I will dismiss from the front entrance of the building and students with last names J-M will dismiss from the Kindergarten hallway and students with last names N-Z will dismiss from the the cafeteria (pick up at the cafeteria door in the alcove).
Here are some reminders for the picnic:

This past Saturday we hosted our annual Night of Giving and it was a beautiful evening. It was such a gift to be able to gather again and celebrate our Parish school! The energy in the room was electric and it was a blessing to be surrounded by families and friends of St. Francis de Sales.
One huge success of the event each year is the teacher and staff wishlist! There are still some items available and we wanted to to give all families the opportunity to browse the list and support your child's current teacher or the grade levels teachers that your child will work with next year. There are also items listed here for Specials teachers, our Special Education department, our Gifted teacher and our cafeteria staff.
We also wanted each of our families to be able to participate in the Fund the Need portion of the evening whether or not you were able to attend in person. Fund the Need is where families can make a flat donation toward the targeted project.
If either of these options are something you feel called to, please click the link above. This link will be live until Friday, May 6.
Our Falcon family is so generous and we are eternally thankful for all of your support!
