From the Head of School

Dear SFS Community,

Welcome to the latest edition of The Banner. This issue is a special one, as we delve into the passions that ignite the hearts and minds of our diverse community members. It is a celebration of the unique interests and pursuits that define us as individuals and as a collective, showcasing the rich tapestry of talent and enthusiasm that thrives within our school's walls.

I am humbled to share my own passion with you in this issue – photography. It has been a personal journey, capturing moments, emotions, and stories through the lens of my camera. While it is a simple passion, I hope it encourages you to explore your own interests and discover the beauty in everyday life.

At SFS, we take pride in providing a variety of opportunities for our students to explore and cultivate their passions. From AWANA in preschool to Varsity soccer, our campus is teeming with diverse activities reflecting the myriad endeavors our students embrace. A common thread through these experiences is the dedication to giving back. Our students embody the spirit of service, consistently participating in initiatives that extend beyond the classroom. Whether volunteering at local shelters, engaging in community outreach programs, or contributing to global causes, their committment to making a positive impact is truly commendable.

I encourage each of you to embrace this issue of The Banner and explore the incredible passions of our community members. May it inspire you to ignite or reignite your own passions, further enriching the educational experiences of our students.

Thank you for being a part of this vibrant SFS community.

God bless,

Colm Flanagan Head of School

A special thank you to everyone who contributed to this issue
