After a wonderful summer, all of the St. Josaphat School faculty and staff members are eager to welcome students back to school and the PTO is busy hosting the second annual Ice Cream Social and Info Day today  from 4PM to 6PM.

It's time to reset the sleep schedules, pack the lunches and get into those new fall school clothes!

Our first day of school for first through eighth grade is Monday, August 20th.  Soon you will hear the familiar sounds of excited children greeting their friends on the sidewalks along Belden and Southport.  Some parents will be anxious, some will be proud, some will be cry tears of joy (you know who you are).   Whether you are sending your preschooler off for the first time, your high-schooler back to school or your college student out the door, it's an exciting time filled with anticipation.

These children are our future and we welcome your prayers for all of their success and achievement this school year and always.

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -- Benjamin Franklin

For any families interested in learning more about St. Josaphat School, we invite you to attend a Tour and Coffee this fall.  Our first Tour and Coffee will be held on Friday, September 14th.
