GRADE 1 RECYCLING PROJECT
|
Mrs. Vitetta's First Grade students organized a recycling project at Saint Joseph School. As a result, over $200 was raised, and presented to Mr. Peter Brady (HDHM). The students summed up the experience with the following quote...
"We loved collecting bottles for people who need help. It was fun doing it together."
Thank you to Mrs. Vitetta and our first graders!

TERRA NOVA UPDATE
|
Students in grades 3 - 7 took the Terra Nova Exams in March 2017. The students' results/ reports are typically sent home with the 4th quarter report card.
Terra Nova recently changed data warehouses. As a result, we have not received the reports.
We anticipate the reports over the summer, and will contact parents at that time.
Thank you for your understanding!

A QUICK THOUGHT!
|
|
Saint Joseph School is an amazing place. It has been an honor and privilege to lead such a beautiful school. I want to thank the students, parents, and staff for welcoming me into your community. You have taught me how to be a better person.
Although my tenure at SJS is coming to a close, I will continue to pray for the school community, increased enrollment, great success for our students, and health and happiness for your families.
My family will remain active parishioners of Saint Joseph Church... so I am confident our paths will cross on the weekends.
God bless, and thank you for 4 wonderful years!
