Dear SJF Families, Thank you to Ms. Dunlavy, Mrs. Condon, and Mrs. Scannell, our SOAR moderators, and all of our SOAR students for organizing and facilitating our Veteran’s Day Breakfast and Prayer Service. This day is always so moving and heartfelt as we are surrounded by our family members who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. We love, honor and respect our Veterans and will always have immense gratitude for all they have done. Also, thank you to our fifth and sixth grade students and teachers for their participation in the prayer service as well! Report cards are going home today. Our Falcons have grown so much this trimester. As we begin the second trimester, let’s keep pushing and challenging our Falcons to ensure they reach their fullest potential! Officer Enrique Martinez will be laid to rest on Monday. We will be lining 103rd Street to show our support for Officer Martinez, his family, and the entire Chicago Police Force on Monday. We have had to stand outside to show our love and support for a fallen officer every year for the past seven years. In some years we had to do this more than once. I know that our presence means so much to our beloved officers and their families. Please join us on Monday if you are able. ...

One of our school themes is “Fly Like a Falcon”. Falcons SOAR above, capturing an aerial view of what is going on below. We are encouraging our school community to “SOAR above” things that might bring us down, not allowing us to be our best selves and to be mindful of those around us who might need our help and support. We are on a school-wide crusade to “Fly Like a Falcon”, lifting one another up, celebrating the positive interactions, and kind behavior that our students and staff demonstrate each and every day. This week, we recognize Fran Blake, 8th grade. This week Fran attended a service trip with his fellow 8th grade classmates. Fran was extremely impressive in the way he interacted with the teachers and students in the Adult Transition Program in District 218. Fran’s kind nature and positive attitude was noticed by several of the teachers who work with young adults with special needs. Thank you for being a leader and setting a good example for your peers. You represented St. John Fisher and your family well and we are so proud of you! Your maturity, compassion and kindness are so appreciated. You are making a difference! Keep “Flying Like a Falcon” Fran!
