Dear St. Francis Families,

This week we hosted the Class of 2027 for Freshman Welcome Night on, appropriately enough, International Women’s Day. Our brand new Troubies learned interesting things about their class, like they come from 53 different schools and the names Ava, Grace, Lily and Sophia are well represented.

They also learned that we have a vibrant community of students and parents who are excited to be a part of their St. Francis journey. From the parent volunteers who greeted them and handed out folders and t-shirts to the members of the five parent groups staffing tables, it was evident that the St. Francis community is welcoming, inclusive, supportive, and enthusiastic.

Parents are truly our best brand ambassadors, and it was wonderful for our new families to see how invested St. Francis parents are, not just in their own daughters’ education, but in all St. Francis students, and our community. We so appreciate you sharing your positive St. Francis experience with friends, neighbors, and colleagues and helping us to grow the next class of freshmen and transfer students. Our new parents are proud to join your ranks, and we are grateful for your support.

We have another special ask of our current parents coming your way next week. Please keep your eyes open for the parent survey supporting the long range visioning process of our Strategic Planning work. We rely on and appreciate your input and insights in the survey that will appear in next week’s newsletter.

In the spirit of Pax et Bonum,

Lisa Wilkins
Director of Enrollment Management
