GET INVOLVED IN EDUCATION AT ST. JOSEPH
|
The St. Joseph Education Commission is a committee that is focused on advancing the Catholic educational mission of the St. Joseph Parish and School. Its goals are to foster collaboration between all the individual committees related to education such as the AAA, PTO, Marketing Committee, Finance Committee, and others. The Education Commission’s goal this year and going forward is to facilitate communication about what we are doing with the parish and school community.
This year, we will be posting updates in the school newsletter and parish bulletin after our meetings. In addition, these meetings are open to anyone in the school or parish community to attend. Meetings are held every other month between August and June on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 PM in the school library.
The members of the Education Commission seek to foster a positive culture around education that encourages ideas and creativity. Anyone with ideas or questions or who is interested in joining the Education Commission can contact the current chair of the Education Commission,

State Farm (Ashlee Kennedy) is partnering with Fort Mitchell, Crescent Springs, Lakeside Park, and Villa Hills Fire and Police Departments to host the first annual Hero Night Festival. It will be held on October 1
st
at the Children’s Home Festival Grounds. This is an event provides the community with an opportunity to meet and interact with their local heroes. This venue will provide family fun entertainment and carnival activities centered around our local heroes. We hope Hero Night Festival will enhance the relationship between the First Responders and the community they serve for a lifetime to come.

A group of parents have been working to beautify the school gardens and look to replace much of existing front landscape, as well as beginning a fundraiser for a St. Joe’s statue. We look to raise $8,000 for a granite St. Joseph statue and benches to be placed in the front garden. We hope to place the order this fall and have the statue installed at the end of the school year.
You can help in two ways:
1)
Volunteer
on Friday, September 20, 5pm – dark. Parents and school age kids can help clean out the gardens and plant the new landscape. No green thumb needed, just bring gloves and any available tools, like chainsaws, hand tools & garbage bags.
2)
Donate
to the statue. A donation of any amount is appreciated. You can place it in an envelope marked St. Joe’s statue and turn into school office. If you have any questions, please reach out to Sally Zeck or Jenny Roose,
