As I am sure you are aware, a Winter Storm
Warning is in effect for our area beginning today
at 3 pm until noon tomorrow. If need be, a
delayed start, as late as noon, will be activated
for tomorrow's exams. If we cannot
administer exams tomorrow, then when we return on
Monday, January 5, 2009 we will follow a special
schedule for a full day of school. The
special schedule will begin with Exam Period 2
then Exam Period 1 with regular classes and lunch
to follow. As a matter of standard procedure,
the automated calling tree will be
activated and the website updated.
Let's all pray that we see a full house in session
at St. Francis tomorrow!
On behalf of
the Faculty and Staff, it is with heartfelt
gratitude that we thank those who so
generously contributed to the Faculty & Staff
Christmas Fund. We are all so fortunate to
be a part of the St. Francis Family. Thank
you!
My prayer for you and your
family is that you have the gift of faith, the
blessing of hope, and the peace of His love at
Christmas and always.
Sincerely,
Raeann Huhn -

The Chicago
Tribune's
3rd Annual Sako
Awards
Congrats to our "Coach of the Year" and
"Team of the Year" as listed in the 3rd annual
Sako Awards on the chicagotribune.com. To view the
article click on this link http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/the_inside_scoop/2008/12/3rd-annual-sako.html
Coach of the
Year
Greg Purnell, St. Francis: A
program that had won six games the last two years
suddenly came together with a magical run to the
5A title. Purnell did a remarkable job of
cultivating an "I've-got-your-back" attitude among
his players.
Team of the Year
St.
Francis Spartans: Going from 3-6 to 13-1 and
snapping Metamora's 27-game winning streak in the
title game would be enough to claim this honor.
But more significant is the way these Spartans did
it. Teammates genuinely cared for one another, and
no sacrifice was too great. Their combined trust
in each other forged a powerful belief that they
could turn the high school football world upside
down. |
