Adult
Trip to Spain - Info Meeting Tues. , June
1st
Calling all Adults....Parents, Alumni, Friends
of Saint Francis!!!
This is "déjà vu" all over
again...
I am sorry I had to cancel
our first meeting, but I had an uplanned trip to
the hospital. For those of you who don't know me,
next year is my 32nd year of teaching at St.
Francis. I have been leading student trips to
France for over 30 years, but what you may not
know, is that I have also lead many Adult trips to
Europe. I started with France, then Italy and I am
now offering an "Adult" trip to Spain during
the summer of 2011. If you are interested, there
will be an informational meeting on Tuesday, June
1st at 7:00pm in room 306. Please
enter by way of the East Wing Door #9. If
you have questions, please call (815)
577-9965. |

Uniform
Resale provides Financial
Assistance
It's
a two-fer!!!! By donating uniforms you can
no longer use, you declutter your closets and help
provide financial assistance for a student.
Last school year's donations provided assistance
for five St. Francis families! Beginning on
May 10th we will accept clean, gently used
uniforms that you have either outgrown, never
used, or just won't need in college. Collection
bins will be located in the hallways through June
11th. The uniform resale will be held during
the book test on July 6th. For questions,
please contact Gail Talley,
815-439-8278, gntalley@msn.com.
