LIVE & Silent Auctions: We will have our fabulous Silent Auction again this year, and we hope many school families will bless us with bidding on these wonderful items. We also have a LIVE auction with prizes such as a weeks stay in Hawaii, a lovely condo in the Smokey Mountains for an entire week and a trip to New York City!. We are very thankful for all of the generous people who have helped with the Live and Silent Auction in the past. Let’s have fun, be supportive and make this year’s Annual Auction a super event!

Catholic Schools' Week was such a success! We prayed together, collected over 1,800 food items for the needy, raised money for those in need through Penny Wars, had a visit from our Superintendent of Schools, Father Belmonte, conducted the Geography Bee, and enjoyed a visit from TJ, a Harlem Wizard! The daily excitement was just amazing! Thank you to all the staff, families and our outstanding PSO for such a great week!

‌

Father Belmonte visited Mrs. Flynn's third grade class and learned more about the Oregon Trail, one of the most important trail and events in history. Father Belmonte also took the time to visit other classrooms during his Catholic School's Week visit.

The World renowned Harlem Wizards have been amazing kids and teens since 1962. The interactive show included basketball tricks and a motivational message on the importance of education and being thankful for what you have. Students and teachers were also able to take pictures with TJ after the show.

INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING? COME TONIGHT!

St. Joan of Arc will be hosting a Protecting God’s Children Session on Tuesday, February 11 at 6:30pm. The session will take place in the Parish Center in Room 22.

You only have to take this workshop once.

If you have not already attended a Protecting God’s Children workshop and wish to volunteer at St. Joan of Arc this year, please register at virtusonline.org .
