SAINT FRANCIS
Established 1955
S aint Francis High School
Phase II of Campaign for Saint Francis High School
Phase II of the Campaign for Saint
Francis High School is in full swing.
The major focus of this phase of the
campaign is the construction of a new,
state of the art performing arts center
on campus. The new center will be home
to our award winning drama and music programs and will provide a muchneeded dedicated performance space.
The new facility will include a 440-seat
theater, a new band and music center,
four new classrooms, a dance studio
and choral room. The new center will
be the largest building on campus, totaling nearly 27,000 square feet, including
both a second story and basement.
The Center for Performing Arts will
also be the most expensive project in the
school’s history. The projected budget
for the project totals $12 million. To date,
the school has accounted for $6.2 million,
leaving a balance of $5.8 million.
The development team is working
diligently to meet with present parents,
alumni and former parents to ask for
their help with this important project.
Please be as supportive of the project as
possible. The success of this school, as it
exists today, is due in large part to the
generosity of the many families who
came before us. Please consider continuing this legacy of support by helping to
provide a facility that will serve our
students for many years to come.
If you would like to make a gift to the
campaign, or if you have any questions
about the project, please contact Tim
Houlihan, Capital Campaign Director,
([email protected], 650.968.1213 x
265) or Steve DeMaestri, Development
Director, ( [email protected] ,
650.968.1213 x 267).
24th Royal Lancer Auction: “Opening Knight”
The 24th annual Royal Lancer Auction
will be held on Saturday, March 24,
2007, at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Palo
Alto. With the theme of “Opening
Knight,” the event promises to be the
highlight of the school year! Proceeds
from the auction will benefit the Campaign for Saint Francis, the construction
of the Center for Performing Arts.
A major part of creating a successful
auction is collecting a variety of exciting
items. We ask all families to donate a
gift to be sold to the highest bidder.
Great gift ideas include fine wines,
vacation home stays, home accessories,
professional services, collectibles, and
sports items and memorabilia. Family
activity items are also very popular,
including tickets or certificates for events,
dinners and hotels. A cash donation for
underwriting also makes a great, hasslefree contribution. We encourage you to
use your creativity to put an exciting gift
basket together for the auction.
Vilma Sinclair is our Auction Chairperson. From January 10 until the date
of the event, volunteers will be working
in Andre House every Wednesday. If you
are interested in helping with any phase
of the auction, please contact the Development Office at extension 465, or just
join us for “Work Wednesdays.”
Your participation is necessary to
making this a successful event, and we
ask that you support this endeavor by
attending, donating a gift, and volunteering to help. Please help us to make this
our most successful auction ever!

Applying for Financial Aid
As college applications
are sent off to colleges and
universities, it’s time to focus
our attention on the steps for
filing for financial aid. Before
a student’s chances for aid can
be determined, many colleges
require both an application for
admission and for financial
aid. Since application deadlines vary from institution to
institution, you may want to
develop a calendar of important
dates. In every case, it’s wise
to apply as early as you can.
All colleges require the
family to file the FAFSA
(Free Application for Federal
Student Aid). Families should
file only one FAFSA which
can be sent to all colleges.
Many colleges require students
to also file the PROFILE or
the college’s own financial
aid form. Be sure to check
that you have filed everything
that each college requires for
financial aid review.
Both the FAFSA and the
PROFILE are now available
in the Guidance and Counseling Office at Saint Francis. In
addition to applying for aid from
the college, be sure to inquire
about state scholarships,
grants and loans. Ask your
counselor about institutional,
community and corporation
programs that offer scholarships. The Guidance Office
also has computer software
with extensive scholarship
search capabilities that students
are welcome to explore. And
finally, it is important to keep
track of any paperwork you
receive from colleges regarding
the financial aid process.
Scholarship Scams
Every year, a handful of
senior parents receive letters
from companies offering help
finding scholarships for a
substantial fee. These letters
usually request that the parent
call an 800 number to set up
an appointment at a local
hotel. The letters are generally
mailed from an out-of-state
location or a P.O. Box. In
most cases, we have found
these offers to be fraudulent
or at best not adequate in
finding legitimate scholarships
for seniors. In the counseling
profession we call these
“scholarship scams.” If you
receive a mailing regarding
college scholarships and you
doubt its authenticity, please
bring it to the counseling office.
We would be happy to look
it over for you.

School Traffic
Please remember that the South Drive entrance can be
utilized to drop off students to alleviate congestion.
Christmas Dance
This year’s Christmas Dance will be held on campus
on Saturday, December 9. While this is a dress-up dance, it is
not a formal dance. Please be sure to consult the Student-Parent
Handbook on page 37 for the appropriate on-campus dress for
the dance beforehand. To view an online version of the handbook, go to the school website and click on the Parents link,
and then on the Deans Office link.
Academics
Final Exams
Final exams for the first semester will be held Friday,
December 15, through Wednesday, December 20. Final exams
must be taken on designated days. Students who are ill will
be expected to make up exams during the normal make-up
periods or on Thursday, December 21, at a time to be determined by the director of academics. Exceptions to this make-up
policy will not be made for family vacations. Please consult
the school calendar when making your holiday travel plans.
The final exam schedule is on our website (http://www.sfhs.
com) on the Academics page. Report cards will be mailed on
January 16, 2007.
Senior Transcripts
Senior transcripts will be available by Friday, January 26,
2007. All requests for transcripts will be processed after that
date. Not all colleges require seventh semester transcripts. Be
sure to check the specific requirements before submitting a
request for transcripts. There is a $2 processing fee per transcript.
Annual Giving: Year-End Tax Tip
If you have not yet returned your Annual Giving pledge
card, please be reminded of the tax benefits of making a donation
to Saint Francis High School by December 31: your donation
can reduce your taxes while helping us to maintain our commitment to excellence through educational programming. In
particular, gifts of stock can offer tremendous tax advantages
to the donor and are easily facilitated by our Development
Office. To make a gift today, visit our website at www.sfhs.
com and click on the Development link, or you can send your
gift or pledge card to the Development Office. As always,
anything that you can do to help Saint Francis High School is
greatly appreciated.

Dear Saint Francis Dads,
The victory over Valley Christian at the Homecoming Game serves as a wonderful
backdrop as the fall sports concession season comes to a close. The Men’s Club
was once again up to the challenge as the concession stands were packed all night
and the “pit” ran out of tri-tip before the varsity game. Great job to all those who
worked and to football coordinator, Mike Prevot, who continues to work behind
the scenes as he convalesces from open heart surgery. The concession sales this
fall hit an all-time high, thanks to our great fans and our great volunteers.
With the winter sports season fast approaching, the Men’s Club gets little time
to rest. Boys and girls basketball and wrestling will give us plenty of opportunities
to continue to raise funds. We will be assisting the Women’s Club with Christmas
At Our House, which is just around the corner (November 30–December 2).
We encourage you to continue to attend our Men’s Club meetings. We have
several engaging speakers and topics scheduled for the months ahead. If you have
not yet had a chance to attend, we welcome you.
Scott Kusich and I wish all the Saint Francis families a joyful and safe holiday
season.
Special thanks to our moderator Steve DeMaestri for all his support of the
Men’s Club.

Parent Clubs
Dear Saint Francis Moms,
$crip
One of my favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit is to
walk through the beautifully decorated homes, visit with
friends and sample the cookies at our annual Christmas At
Our House home tour. Mari Jo Pelzner, Charlene Raisch and
their committee chairs, along with hundreds of other volunteers, have been working diligently to bring us this spectacular
“Silver White Winters” event. Thank you to all! We couldn’t
have these events without our many volunteers and supporters.
We are deeply grateful to the Finn, Hittinger, Kordsmeier and
Mittelman families for welcoming us into their homes.
The Complimentary Fall Dinner and meeting was a huge
success, thanks to Marilyn Duran and her committee. The
evening’s entertainment began with music from Danna Mitchell and the SFHS steel drum musicians. We enjoyed a delicious
dinner, prepared by Kristin Dickens and the Party Helpers,
followed by an incredible cheesecake dessert, homemade by
Helen Benedetti. Malcolm Center was beautifully decorated
with pumpkin topiaries and fall colors. We enjoyed a holiday
gift-wrapping demonstration by interior designer Linda Floyd
who brought beautiful ribbon for us to take home to wrap
our own unique packages. We shopped for holiday gifts from
Lancer Locker and Silpada. Thank you to Sue Kupka and Jill
Montanari who generously donated the proceeds of the Silpada
sales to the Christmas At Our House donation drawing. Thank
you to all vendors, volunteers and friends who made this
evening special.
This Christmas season, remember to use SCRIP for your
holiday shopping. Becky McIntyre has worked tirelessly to
make purchasing SCRIP easy and convenient. Lisa Pazmany
and her staff of volunteer moms at Lancer Locker have some
great new items in stock just in time for the holidays. Lancer
clothing and accessories and gift cards from SCRIP make great
presents for students and teachers.
Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Karen Brown, Women’s Club President
Buy Scrip for Christmas gifts and for your holiday shopping needs!
Scrip gift cards and certificates make great Christmas gifts. We
can order Scrip from about 100 merchants, including popular
restaurants and retailers (clothing, groceries, electronics, and
specialty items). See the form in this parent newsletter or download a copy at http://womensclub.sfhs.com/scrip.html.
Scrip can be ordered via email, phone, fax, US mail,
and at the business office.
The turnaround time from the scrip vendor during the
holiday season is longer due to high demand. Orders submitted by Mondays at 3 p.m. will be delivered to the business
office about 10 business days later. (Normally, orders take only
4 business days.) We also have limited inventory on hand of
the most popular Scrip, such as Safeway, Starbucks, and
Macy’s, which can generally be delivered to the school (or
mailed to you) with a very short turnaround. For quick turnaround of inventory items, please email or phone in orders.
An extra big thanks to those of you who support the school
by buying Scrip and signing up for eScrip and the Albertson’s
Community Partners card.

A message to parents
Patricia Tennant, Principal
Senior Trips
and Parties
For the last few years we
have reproduced for our
school newsletter a popular
article from the S.A.D.D.
High School Newsletter about
the dangers of “Senior Trips”
sponsored by tour agencies.
This year we are printing an
updated article on the same
topic. While we have actively
discouraged student participation in these trips, the tour
agencies continue to tenaciously recruit our students,
expanding their options to
both summer and winter trips
for seniors and juniors. I hope
that by publishing this article
and sending it through the
newsletter, parents of students
of all ages will take note of the
facts surrounding the “Senior
Trips” and be prepared to make
decisions if your student is
approached by these private
agencies. Please note that the
school does not sanction these
trips, and if you are considering
sending your student on one of
these vacations, please investigate the trip and the sponsoring company thoroughly.
The primary reason the
trips are popular is the availability of unlimited alcohol
in some of the destinations
and no formal supervision.
The common slogan used is
“Go to (Destination) and
Party.” In nearly all cases, we
have found that the agencies,
no matter what they claim,
do not chaperone the events
and provide easy access to
drugs and alcohol. Almost
without exception, all trip
activities organized by the
tour companies are held in
bars and clubs or near a place
where alcohol is made readily
available. The entertainment
in the bars is often sexually
promiscuous in nature. The
result of students being placed
in this environment is that
there have been deaths, serious
injuries and sexual molestation.
If an accident or injury should
occur, pursuit of claims
through a foreign country is
very difficult if not impossible.
The point of this letter and
the attached article is to make
you aware of the potential
dangers of these trips so that
you can make an informed
decision if your student asks
to participate in a Spring Tour
or any senior trip.
Senior trips are not the
only times our students are
faced with drug and alcohol
decisions. Off-campus parties that make alcohol available to minors have recently
been in the news and continue
to be a pressing problem in
the greater community. In
recent years, we have seen a
proliferation of unchaperoned parties, often at homes
where parents are gone for the
evening or weekend. Sometimes what begins as a small
gathering of friends blossoms
into a major event as partygoers
hear that Mom and Dad are
not at home. The school’s
position on drug and alcohol
use and unchaperoned events
is clear: not only is it against
school policy for parents to
make alcohol and other drugs
available to students, but it is
illegal. Students who host or
attend these parties not only
face school discipline, but are
subject to police action. Residences where juvenile parties
occur can suffer extensive
property damage, and parents
—whether present or absent—
assume the liability of the
actions of any teenager who
attends the function at their
home, in or out of the house,
or on the road.
At Saint Francis High
School, our goal is to educate
our students about making
safe and appropriate choices,
and to support our parents
who wish to ensure that their
children gather at social functions that will be free of all
drugs and alcohol and chaperoned by responsible adults.
This goal is consistent with
our school themes of respect
and community and the value
we place on developing character. We endorse and support
our campus chapter of SODA
(Students Against Drugs and
Alcohol) and our parent program of SafeHomes. Our
school is an active member of
the Community of Concern,
a consortium of Catholic
schools of northern California
who together sponsor parent
evenings and student education to promote drug-free
schools. The message of Community of Concern, SafeHomes and SODA is very
important. Do not leave your
teenagers home alone overnight. Be present and visible
at all gatherings of students
in your home. Know that it is
illegal to make alcohol available to teenagers, even in your
own home. Call and talk to
other parents to confirm
supervision of parties and the
rules of the house. Investigate
thoroughly all student trips
and vacations.
As a community of parents
and educators, we share a
common concern for the
safety and wellbeing of our
children and students. I thank
you for your continued support as we actively pursue a
drug-free environment for
our Saint Francis students.
Discussion
Under
Spring Break -
Not Just Fun in the Sun
It all began with Annette Funicello and
Frankie Avalon in 1960’s Where the Boys Are
followed by the famed Beach series. More
than 40 years later, the face of Spring Break
has changed dramatically. Whereas college
students in the 1960s and 1970s looked
forward to a road trip with friends for some
wholesome fun in the sun, today’s high school
students are wooed by travel companies offering
packages to destinations such as Mexico and
Montreal where the legal drinking age is lower
and rarely enforced.
Panama City Beach in Florida was the
hot destination of the 1970s; students
then headed to Cancun, Mexico, in the
1980s. When MTV arrived on the Spring
Break scene, thousands of college and even
high school students followed the DJs, their
favorite bands, talk show hosts, and comedians
to destinations including Fort Lauderdale,
South Padre Island, Lake Havasu, Daytona
Beach, and Jamaica. This escape continues
today. Spring Break has come to be associated
not with innocent fun in warm climates
but rather with binge drinking, alcohol
poisoning, date rape, assault and, in rare
cases, even death.
Stephen G. Wallace, national chairman and
chief executive officer of SADD, Inc., warns,
“Thinly-disguised ‘destination planners’ have
found their way from college campuses to high
school bulletin boards. Party packages tout fun
in the sun - complete with passes for open
bars, booze cruises and bikini contests.”
Alarmingly, many parents believe that
this behavior is a rite of passage, that these
behaviors are unavoidable and ultimately
inevitable. Teens Today research conducted
by SADD and Liberty Mutual Group
challenges this “myth of inevitability.” The
research reveals that parents who regularly
communicate with their teens positively
influence their children’s decisions about
destructive behaviors such as drinking, using
drugs and engaging in sexual activity.
Many parents incorrectly assume that the
biggest danger for their teens who go away
on vacation is drinking and driving, and
that as long as their teens are not behind the
wheel or in the passenger seat while impaired,
they are safe. In fact, there are several other
significant issues that pose an equally large
threat. Parents need to consider the potential
for violence, date rape, alcohol poisoning and
binge drinking, all of which their teens may
encounter while on vacation.
Recently, the national media has turned
its attention to the dangers of Spring Break.
This past spring, ABC, CBS and CNN were
among the major media outlets reporting
on the scene from a variety of Spring Break
destinations. On a Tuesday night during ABC
reporter Michele Norris’ visit to Cancun, three
American students had been arrested: two for
urinating in public and one for engaging in a
fistfight. On that same day, a twenty-year-old
student from the University of Hartford died
after falling from a second-story balcony at a
local bar. He had been drinking heavily.
Spring Break is an eagerly awaited
time of year for students to relax and
spend time with friends. With so many
potentially dangerous options, it is critical
for parents to talk to their teens about
their Spring Break plans. Here is a ready
guide to parents when talking to their teens:
Questions Every Parent Should
Ask before Allowing their Teens
to go on an Unsanctioned Spring
Break Trip
1) What kind of reputation does the
travel company have? Contact the Council
of Better Business Bureaus at www.bbb.org
to find the BBB near you.
2) What is the drinking age? The drinking
age in the United States (including destinations
such as Florida, Arizona and Texas) is 21.
Although it is lower in many countries, it
is rarely enforced. This means that a 16- or
17-year-old high school student is likely
to have easy access to alcohol in a foreign
country. Here is a list of some of the popular
destinations that have a legal drinking age
of 18:
• Mexico • Jamaica • Bahamas
• Dominican Republic • Cayman Islands
3) Has the State Department issued
any travel warnings recently? These travel
warnings from the U.S. Consulate offer
valuable information about the dangers of
travel to various countries and the limited
assistance the U.S. Consulate can offer. Call
(202) 647-5225 or visit www.travel.state.gov
to learn more.
4) What kind of medical services are
available? The quality of medical care in
some foreign countries is inadequate and
significantly different from that of the United
States. Find out where the closest hospital is and
what kind of care is given.
5) What kind of insurance does the
travel company offer?
6) What kind of emergency action plans
are in place?
7) What kind of medical personnel are
on hand in the event of alcohol poisoning,
drug overdose or general illness? Other Important Information for
Parents:
American citizens are subject to the
laws of the country they are in. If a teen
is arrested, there is little, if anything, that the
U.S. State Department can do to help him
or her.
Alcohol and other drugs are involved in a
high percentage of rapes. In addition, there
are a number of date rape drugs, including
Rohypnol and GHB, that have become more
prevalent in Spring Break destinations. These
drugs render the victims physically weak and
unconscious, thus making them a prime
target for rape or sexual assault. Dissolved in
alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks, the drugs
are virtually undetectable.
Although some travel companies
provide adult chaperones, they are not
responsible for monitoring students’
alcohol or drug consumption or sexual
activity.
