Dear Friends,
Good morning, St. Joes. I hope you enjoyed a very Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend with family and friends. The snow dusting on Sunday morning has helped to usher in the holiday season and we can’t wait to celebrate together on campus this month!
Thank you to the many parents who participated in Parent-Teacher Conferences last Tuesday. Our strong and mutually supportive School-Family Partnership is a cornerstone for the success experienced each day by SJ Cadets. Your steadfast support is never taken for granted.
Our SJ Athletes continue to Win Every Day – both in the classroom and on the field! Let me deliver a very proud and well-deserved shout out to Coach Del, his staff, and our outstanding football team on a great Thanksgiving Day win versus Trumbull. The “HOGS” now move on to the Class L playoffs as the #1 Ranked Team with a game on Tuesday night against Daniel Hand High School of Madison (See game details below). As you may recall, Hand HS was the opponent when we last won the CT Class L State Football Championship in 2019, which was our third consecutive state title (2017, 2018, 2019). Good luck, boys!
In addition to “Tuesday Night Lights,” other special SJ events scheduled for this week include the continuation of our Season of Giving initiatives, Pizza & Prayer (Wed., Dec. 1), and a Charity Dress Down Day and 12-noon dismissal for students (Fri., Dec. 3). As you plan ahead, please be sure to include the annual and always festive SJ Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on your family calendar (Sun., Dec. 5). Further details for each of these activities/events are included below.
As always, I will include you and yours in my daily prayers and intentions. Have a joyous week ahead.
In Faith and Fellowship,
David J. Klein
President
