This year, over
200 essays were submitted and all three places were taken by St. Francis students
– the first time in the history of the contest that one school has swept all
places. Paul, B., Gina P. and
Meagan C. were our winners.
They attended the DAR awards ceremony with their families and their social studies teacher, Anne Phillips,
where they received certificates and monetary prizes.

We are very proud to announce that St. Francis Solano School received a six-year accreditation rating!
The school community, which includes, administration, teachers and
staff, members of the Advisory Council and Parents' Club, spent the
last 18 months working diligently on this self-study process. As a
result of hundreds of hours of meetings and discussions, we identified
areas of strength (and we have many!) as well as areas of growth have
become our "Action Plan" for the next six years. The resulting document
was over 100 pages long.
As you may recall, in March, our WASC
evaluation team made a three-day visit to our school and were very
impressed with both the academic excellence of our school, and also the
Catholicity of our school.
We thank everyone for their hard
work; and especially the members of the Leadership Team: Lydia
Blecksmith, Susan Smith, Debbie Picard, Veronica Beattie-Smith, and
Michelle Momsen. As Father Mike would say, "Hip, Hip, Hurray!"
