At SFC, we recognize that handwriting is an essential part of a well-rounded education, contributing far more than just letter formation. Handwriting strengthens critical skills like letter recognition, sound association, reading, language, and memory development. Research from Indiana University shows that writing by hand activates key areas of the brain tied to learning, making it a vital tool for cognitive growth. Despite the rise of digital technology, 90% of elementary assignments and tests are still completed by hand, making handwriting instruction as relevant today as ever.
We are excited to introduce the Writing Our Catholic Faith series by Universal Publishing—a curriculum designed to support our PreK-4 students in both their academic journey and their spiritual growth. This program will give our students the opportunity to master handwriting while deepening their connection to their Catholic faith, reinforcing our commitment to educating the whole child.
Your generous support will help us bring this transformative program to all of our students, equipping them with the skills they need to succeed academically and grow spiritually.
Please consider making a donation to help us provide this valuable resource for our children. Together, we can ensure they have the tools for a bright future—both in the classroom and in their faith!
