UNIFORM EXCHANGE

The actual swap date will be on Monday, August 1st from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It will be located inside the school building in front of the school office.

SJS CARD TRADING EXPO
Deadline for registering for Card Expo is May 16th
When: May 20th 3:00-4:30
Where: Cafeteria or Library (depends on attendance)
What is it: A space for kids to expand there reach of trading cards beyond family and close friends. All SJS students are welcome to participate. Each child will be able to set up their booth to display cards they are willing to trade. I suggest bringing a tablecloth and you are welcome to make a sign to display on the front of your booth. Each booth will be assigned a number.
How it works: We will provide a time to roam from booth to booth viewing the cards on the trading floor. I will set a time for the trading floor to be open. We will repeat this for several rounds. Each round will involve a certain number of tables in that trading group and the groups will rotate each session.
What is traded: We will break the room into SPORTS card booths and Pokémon booths. To keep things smooth we ask that you pick either sports or Pokémon as it will be to challenging to put trading groups together with mixed booths.
We will have a commissioner approve each trade to ensure fairness and to facilitate good sportsmanship.
We ask that your child be accompanied by a parent or at least ‘assigned’ to another parent in attendance. This will be chaos if we have 30 kids running around without being supervised. Also, a parent needs to stand by the booth as the students roam the booths.
Trading cards creates confidence in negotiating, assessing value and making sound decisions. We are excited for the kids to have this fun opportunity. Please contact Christie Pavia if you are interested in reserving a booth or would like additional information. Provide students name, grade, type of card (sports or Pokémon) to trade.
Students are to trade ONLY. No buying cards or involving money in trades!

St. Joseph
Annual Flea Market
Our annual Flea Market will be held on Friday and Saturday, June 3 and 4 in Noll Hall. Hours are from 8 am to 3 pm. The Flea Market is a great St. Joe’s fundraising tradition. But, it is also much more than that. It is a major recycling project, where one parishioner’s “trash” becomes another person’s treasure. Our flea market attracts people from all over the area looking to purchase household items, children’s clothing, furniture, toys and more at very reasonable prices. And, our leftover items are shared with several charities throughout the area.
We need lots of help to make the Flea Market a success. We need:
Donated items to sell. Some examples are: furniture; tools; decorative items; household items; working appliances; books; baskets; vases; flat screen TV’s only; and clean, gently used children’s clothing up to size 14. Sorry, we cannot accept mattresses or adult clothing. So, when you are doing your Spring cleaning, please remember the Flea Market.
Drop off days and times:
Saturday, May 28 from 10 am until 2 pm
Monday (Memorial Day), May 30 from 10 am until 2 pm
Tuesday – Thursday, May 31 – June 2 from 10 am – 8 pm
Volunteers. We need volunteers to unload cars, to display and price items, and to work the days of the Flea Market. We are grateful for as much or as little time as you can help. We also need help with cleanup after the 11:00 am Mass on Sunday, June 5th.
Attention 7th and 8th Graders and all teens: This is a great opportunity to complete community service for high school.
To get the word out. Please post information about the Flea Market on your social media. If you would like flyers, let us know.
Thanks in advance for your support!

SHDHS Summer Drama Camp
SHDHS invites 2nd through 8th grade students to participate in its annual Summer Drama Camp and the performance of “Seussical Kids”. Campers will work on their craft of acting, singing, and dancing throughout the camp day. Campers will also learn the basic tools for acting, aspects of technical theatre, and characterization. These sessions, intermixed with games and lessons, will culminate in a performance at the end of the camp on the stage of the Drees Homes Auditorium. The $250 registration fee includes a commemorative t-shirt and one complimentary ticket to the performance. Campers are expected to pack their own lunch and snacks. Use the form below to enroll in this Summer Drama Camp experience!
Auditions: All registrants will be accepted to the Camp; auditions are merely done to assign roles for the performance. This process will involve reading a small portion of the script and singing 30 seconds of a song. Campers should choose their own song, but it must be school appropriate.
“Seussical Kids” Synopsis: Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical KIDS, a fantastical musical extravaganza. Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton’s challenge is twofold — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant! Seussical KIDS is great fun for the whole family.
Audition Dates: June 22, 5:00-7:30 pm; June 23, 9:00-11:30 am
Camp Dates: July 11 – July 15; 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Performance of “Seussical Kids”: Saturday, July 16, 3:00 pm
Costs: Camp Registration – $250; Tickets to the Performance – $5
