St. Francis Stories: Lauren & Louise Morr ‘23
Citizens of the World

Lauren & Louise Morr '23

This week’s St. Francis Stories spotlight is the graduating duo of Lauren and Louise Morr and how they found inspiration serving at a day camp for the children of refugee families in the Sacramento area starting in 2019.  This summer will be their fifth one helping at the camp.  Oh!  They also happen to be great lacrosse players and will be attending UCLA in the fall.  Lauren and Louise truly emulate the four pillars of St. Francis: Faith, Excellence, Leadership, Service.

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.
