2 From the desk of Mr. Wieters Dear St. Francis de Sales School Parents, The Columbian Squires, the official youth organization of the Knights of Columbus, is a leadership development program for young Catholic men, ages years old. The Squires is designed to develop young men as leaders who understand their Catholic religion, who have a strong commitment to the Church and who are ready, willing and capable of patterning their lives after the Youth Christ. Our own Lake Geneva Knights of Columbus Council #1647 is interested in organizing and sponsoring a Squires program. The program itself is run by and for young men, under the guidance of several Knights, who serve as counselors. Squires are to be leaders, thus, to the degree they are able, they are given the opportunity to lead, by running their own meetings, investing their own members, setting their circle's agenda and implementing their program of activities. Squires do many things: They meet new friends; they travel, play sports and socialize. Squires are serious-minded, too. Squires are involved in promoting vocations, marching in defense of unborn life, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, supporting Special Olympics and promoting Catholic education, among countless other activities. Thus, the Squires circle is an athletic team, a youth group, a social club, a cultural and civic improvement association, a management training course, a civil rights organization and a spiritual development program all rolled into one. For young, adult males interested in the possibility of starting a Squires program here in our Parish, contact either Dave Wieters at (262) or by at principal@sfdslg.org or Bob McCormick at (630) or by at logmack93@hotmail.com We had some questions arise in regards to students casual dress yesterday. A dress code reminder, as per the Parent-Student Handbook: Leggings may be worn under skirts provided they are in solid school colors, extend down to the ankle and have no lace at the ankle. Additionally, modesty is always expected. The responsibility of dressing within the dress/uniform code is that of the parents and students. The responsibility of checking for and reporting dress/uniform violations is that of each faculty member. The principal has the responsibility to issue detentions for infractions of the dress/uniform code. The principal has the final say in interpreting and enforcing the dress/uniform code. Our monthly School Sunday Mass is this Sunday, November 3 rd. Our 3 rd and 7 th grade students will lead us in the celebration of the Mass. Please join us this Sunday if you can! David Wieters Principal

4 Green Team Compost Bin The Green Team as started a school composting program. Food scraps from the second lunch (older kids) is put in a compost bin located outside the 6 th grade classroom entrance. The compost will be used for the school garden. Compost is 50% green, which is fruit and vegetable scraps, and 50% brown, which is paper and wood products. More than 25% of things thrown into the trash can be composted! The 7 th graders have been in charge of taking the compost out to the composting bins. Composting is great for the environment including our St. Francis de Sales gardens.
