From the desk of Mr. Wieters
Dear St. Francis de Sales School Parents,
The Annual Lake Geneva Great Electrical Children’s Christmas Parade
was held this past Saturday. Thank you to everyone for all their time and
dedication they volunteered in making this year’s School parade entry
another hit!
Congratulations and thanks go out to all who made this year’s Home and School
Association’s Advent Breakfast such a tremendous success! The event was well attended
and received by everyone. A fundraiser of this size and scope would not be possible without
the efforts of many. The time and effort of all of our wonderful volunteers was instrumental to
the success of this year’s program. It’s events like these and the people who generously give
of themselves that make St. Francis de Sales Parish School such a special place!
Our St. Francis de Sales Parish School 8 th Grade Class is having a baby item drive this
coming Wednesday, December 12 th , at our School Mass. The items will be donated to our
local food pantry. Items they are most in need of include baby food, powdered formula,
diapers, and wipes. We will also accept monetary donations (please make checks payable to
St. Francis de Sales Parish School). Items will be brought forward at the offertory time of
Mass. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
David Wieters
Principal
