Dear St. Joseph Elementary School Parents,
I don't know about you, but I am still singing disco tunes in my head! I am humbled at the support that you parents showed at our PTG Annual Auction, Boogie Shoes. The teachers and I are so thankful to have you all as partners in our mission.
I want to especially thank Marci Stewart and Carla VanDerveer for organizing this amazing event. From the decor, to the food, to the wonderful donations, to the auctioneer-the entire night was an outstanding success!
There is one last chance with the "Last Dance Online Auction" that is being launched today. There are some really fabulous new items that have been added, fun exciting teacher experiences and SJES parties that are always a fabulous time. There is also a last chance to donate to our 'Fund A Need" which will be the overhead fans in the classrooms and interactive whiteboards for the classrooms. Thank you for your generosity.
This week you should have all received your links for registration. Please complete registration by April 12. We have waiting lists in several classes this year.
I hope you all have a restful weekend.
Lenten Blessings,
Dr. Marquita Yriarte
