Spirit Week!

‘Twas the week before Winter break, and all through the school, 
learning continued, as Firebirds are no fools!
But on top of tasks, and the labs, and the quizzes,
Spirit Week gave challenges to all the new Phoenixes!  

In forests, and embers, celestials and flames; 
some azure, some silver - but all up to the games! 
And to help us remember, for all we have to give thanks,
Don’t forget to bring items to share with Calgary Food Banks!

~ However you celebrate, the staff of SJF wish you all a restful holiday with family and friends, and we look forward to seeing our students again in the new year!

Leadership initiative: Food Bank Drive

Our Grade 9 Leadership students have taken on a few charity-based projects between now and Christmas.  The second of these is a Food Drive to support the Calgary food bank.  Starting the week of December 18, students are invited to bring in non-perishable items to support families in need.  Although all donations are accepted and appreciated, the food bank has posted a “Wish List” with their most needed items.  They include:

• Cereal 
• Canned Meat 
• Canned Veggies 
• Canned Beans 
• Baby Formula 
• Canned Pasta Sauce (no glass jars)

Thank you in advance for your support!
