From the Principal's Desk...

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Now that we're entering the month of January, we will most likely have some messy weather. Therefore, I want to remind all parents to be extra careful in the morning during drop-off. Please drive slowly and be watchful of your surroundings. In addition, please remember that parking on Whitcomb Street is on the right side ONLY.

The new year is also bringing some additional changes to the staff at St. Joseph School. Our Physical Education instructor, Coach Burke, has accepted a full-time position in the Worcester School System so we are welcoming back an old friend, Mr. Frank Nellenbach, who will be responsible for gym classes on Fridays. We also want to welcome Kyle Kreidler. Kyle is a graduate of Keene State where he majored in Physical Education and is Massachusetts certified in Physical Education. Kyle will be responsible for Thursday gym classes.

On behalf of the faculty and staff of St. Joseph School, I want to wish you a happy & healthy new year. We're looking forward to an exciting 2019.

Sincerely,

Michael Hackenson M.Ed.
