St. Francis Stories: Emily Bradley

The gifts each St. Francis student possess are vast and can often go unrecognized, not for lack of caring or interest, but simply because there’s so much our students do outside of school time and walls. For example, participating in women’s youth bobsledding probably isn’t something one would equate with Sacramento or St. Francis. But sophomore Emily Bradley is doing just that!  She recently returned from Austria and is now ranked #2 in the world!  She appeared on Good Day Sacramento and is this week’s St. Francis Stories feature.

St. Francis Stories: We are St. Francis

Each young woman at St. Francis is an individual, on her own journey, with her own talents, interests and aspirations. Together, WE are ST. FRANCIS ❤️

During Saturday’s 40th annual auction, we debuted this very special video, starring many of our Troubies.  It was a labor of love inspired by our president, and realized by our digital media manager and friends at Univision.  We want to make sure everyone sees it and feels free to share it far and wide.  It’s the perfect installment for this week’s St. Francis Stories feature.
