International Fair

Our annual International Fair is coming up soon. This year it will be Saturday, March 4th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. We would love to see you share the stories and the culture that makes your family who you are. The last few years, we have featured elements from six different continents!

This year’s food theme is STREET FOOD! We’re encouraging you to share a street food style snack or dish that gives your favorite local place its literal and figurative flavor. 

Whether you’re sharing food, sharing physical artifacts, or you just want to attend, please help us plan by filling out the RSVP at this link. 

Clothing Labels

This is the time of year when recess starts out cool, but by the end, students have warmed up and cast off their jackets and sweatshirts. Please double check that your children’s clothing has a name or initials on the tag (especially their identical uniform stuff). If you need a new uniform piece, please check with Mr. Schmiege or Mrs. Rott. We have a pretty good stock of all our uniform pieces available in Mrs. Rott’s office. 

Enrollment Deadline

We need you to enroll in school for 2023-2024! Part of our enrollment process involves giving our current families first priority on next year’s enrollment. We plan to open up enrollment to families in the community on February 15th. That means we need you to complete your re-enrollment THIS WEEKEND! You should have received an email inviting you to enroll for next year. Please use that link to complete your enrollment. 

Please note, this is a different enrollment process than in years past. It will take about ten minutes per student, but it will help us update our information, and should be more streamlined in the future. 

Share the Love - Food Drive

Sola Fide’s Church and Academy are jointly working on a food drive during January and February. We want to share our blessings with the families in our community. If you’re inclined to be helpful, please consider bringing non-perishable food items to the donation boxes in the school entrance or by the top of the stairs in the church building. 

Culver’s Share Night

Culver’s Share Night is a fundraiser where Culver’s will donate a portion of your meal cost back to Sola Fide. On February 21st, dine at Culver’s on Scenic Highway, tell them you are from Sola Fide, have a great meal, and help out our school!
