👩🏻‍🏫📿💻 Our dedicated St. Ferdinand School teachers used their Professional Development days to analyze academic and cultural data, share effective teaching strategies, set goals, ready their classrooms, and reflect during a retreat focused on “One Word” that will guide them through growth this school year! How blessed are SFS students to be taught by such professional, reflective educators! 💻📿👩🏻‍🏫 Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Chicago St Ferdinand Church Chicago

🙏💙⛪️ On this final Sunday of Summer, we take a look at a sampling of the various churches our students and staff have visited on their vacations! From Mexico to Poland, and from Florida to Wisconsin, St. Ferdinand families did not take vacations from honoring Jesus. What beauty there is in visiting other Catholic churches, both nationally and internationally! ⛪️💙🙏 St Ferdinand Church Chicago Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Chicago

🍦📚🚂 Through popsicles, frozen treats, and a kiddie train ride, St. Ferdinand School students and staff celebrated the onset of the new school year! Smiles abounded as our many new families were oriented, Preschoolers were welcomed, and school supplies were dropped off, too! Even a rainy night couldn’t dampen the fun of a Kona Ice Treat! 🚂📚🍦 Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Chicago St Ferdinand Church Chicago

😃💙🍨 August 8 is both National Happiness Happens Day, as well as National Frozen Custard Day! We look back on the day of smiles and frozen treats at Ferd's in which Principal Folino became a human ice cream sundae! Squeals of delight arose from the school community as the 3 students who had read the most minutes during National Read Across America Week got their "just desserts" and prize of being the ones to create this mess-terpiece! We love the days of sheer joy and fun shared among the St. Ferdinand School community - from staff to students! 🍨💙😃 Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Chicago St Ferdinand Church Chicago

👨‍💼📋☕️ TGIF! That’s what most principals feel like at the end of the week - and our St. Ferdinand Fun Run highest pledges winner certainly could relate after running the school one fine spring day! When Principal Miller was in charge, he greeted students, brought treats for the staff, prepped for morning announcements, conferenced with the teachers, and helped with lunchtime and dismissal procedures - a busy principaling day indeed! ☕️📋👨‍💼
