Please join me in congratulating Kieran, Melinda, Isac and Wendy who were honored last night at the Elk’s Student Award Banquet. It is the first in-person banquet the Elk’s have hosted since April of 2019 and oh what a lovely evening it was! The students were celebrated alongside students from the SF Public Schools and were chosen by their teachers because they are kind, helpful, supportive, hardworking, and all-around great kiddos! It was a proud moment for their families and the staff members who attended and spoke so highly of them. A big shout-out of thanks goes to Ron Reichman and all of the amazing Elk’s members for caring so deeply about our students.

A big thank you to the staff and volunteers at St. Frances for providing bags of goodies to the children in SF Public schools and for including our ECE and Elementary students too! They were a big hit and a fun way to send our youngest kiddos off on April Break.
