Next week at school, we will have a very busy week. Beginning on Tuesday morning, Msgr is treating all students participating in the Christmas Pageant to a breakfast. On Wednesday, we will have our Annual Christmas Feast (free of charge), sponsored by Alumni Robert Bonczek. Thursday, Grade PreK-Grade 8 will have a Pajama Day. All students will will watch the "Polar Express" in the gymnasium on the big screen.
This year, St. Joseph School will be presenting jackets to all eighth grade students recognizing academic and athletic achievements. These jackets will be presented at the Eighth Grade Dinner to be scheduled in the beginning of 2019. This date will be confirmed within the next couple of weeks. In addition, we will continue the tradition of the Rose Ceremony with Eighth Grade Athletics (Basketball, Soccer, Cheering) at an upcoming Basketball game.
