2022 Fall Festival Vendor Application

Open House & Turkey Dinner

To kick off Catholic Schools Week each year, we hold an Open House for anyone interested in St. Francis School.  Our current school parents and teachers are on hand to give private tours of the school and answer any questions.  This event is open to families with children of all ages, even if your child is too young to start school. We have a “Future Families” program that offers benefits for students who aren’t yet school age.

Although our open house is held on a Sunday we want to show prospective families a school that is alive and busy! So during the open house, we also host a turkey dinner fundraiser which is available for everyone. (click here for details:  https://fb.me/e/4Lfpc39Qj )  Also, our Knights of Columbus is hosting a Hoop Shoot in our gym starting at noon. Come and enjoy these events and see what makes St. Francis School such a special place to learn and grow.

Francis' Favorite Pets Contest

Each year, to honor our patron St. Francis of Assisi, the school hosts a pet contest. We also collect money and pet supplies for the SPCA.

A special blessing of the animals will be held on Saturday, Oct. 1st at 3:00 PM in the church parking lot. Everyone is invited to bring their pet for this!

 

Summer Fun and Cabin Fever Paddle Party (Quarter Auction)

Each year, we host two paddle parties – Cabin Fever in January and Summer Fun in July. These events are for adults and offer a fun night of food, drinks and prizes!

What’s a paddle party?  We have about 50 great prizes, valued between $25 to $50 each, including gift cards, theme baskets, lottery tickets, and more. Each prize is held up, and if you want to win it, you put a quarter in the pot and hold up your paddle. If your paddle number is called,  you win! It’s that simple and fun!

Our Cabin Fever Paddle Party will be held on Friday, Jan. 19, 2024 @ 7:00 pm.
