Building Faith, Character, and Excellence
December 6th, 2019
Message from Mr. Chandler
It seems like just yesterday the school year began with a new crop of students on campus, but Thanksgiving has already come and gone, leaving us with just two weeks until Christmas break!

As time continues pass more and more quickly, I hope that we can all step back and take a moment to enjoy a cozy holiday season with friends and family, while continuing to appreciate Christ's consistent presence in our lives.

We in the Alumni Office would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and extend our prayers for continued blessings to all in the New Year!
Support the Fund for Saint Joseph!

Sports Report:
Go Indians!
The Saint Joe hockey team  is the most active of the winter sports teams thus far. The team amassed a 6-9 overall record before skating to a 1-2-1 record in the Thanksgiving weekend tournament. The boys split games with Mount Carmel, tied Archbishop Moeller from Cincinnati, and dropped a contest to Notre Dame College Prep out of Arizona.

Girls' swimming  began their year with a win over Riley as they look to build on the success of a sixth place finish at the IHSAA state championship last year.

After dropping their first game of the season,  the girls' basketball team  has rattled off four straight victories, including wins over Elkhart Memorial (59-24), Adams (49-32), and John Glenn (64-50).

Boys' basketball tipped off on Tuesday, earning their first win of the season over Concord, 55-27. They'll be back in action on Saturday at home against Marquette. Start time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Wrestling  competed in the Clay Super Dual before Thanksgiving to open the season and walked away with a record of 2-3 to begin their campaign.

As always, visit  www.saintjoeathletics.com  for a complete rundown of scores, schedules, and news.
