We Care About Catholic Charities |
|
November 28-December 5
One of the many wonderful things about St. Joseph Catholic School is how our students show examples of the Corporal Works of Mercy - such as feeding the hungry. These charitable actions teach our students that we treat everyone with the same respect and dignity that Christ would as we tend to the basic need of humanity.
For the past 3 months, St. Joseph Catholic School has collected 2,230 pounds of food for Catholic Charities from our Breakfast Bash, Stack the Mac (& Cheese), and Chef Boy-ar-Dee monthly donations. In addition, $2,200 was raised for Catholic Charities from Trunk or Treat! A total of $4,430 was given to Catholic Charities this school year! Thank you!

F.A.M.I.L.Y Christmas Greetings |
|
Forget About Me, I Love You..
The St. Joe Six and the One Strong F.A.M.I.L.Y initiatives represent character development that emphasize selflessness and a love for one another, along with accepting responsibility and accountability for our actions.
"Holding someone accountable is not something you do TO them; it's something you do FOR them. Holding someone accountable is a form of love; it shows them you truly care because you hold them to a high standard of excellence. Accountability is the foundation for success." Alan Stein, Jr.
**The Student Council has been busy preparing our F.A.M.I.L.Y. Christmas greetings! Students will be passing them out at afternoon carpool on Monday, December 6th! If you do not receive yours on Monday, please stop by the school office to pick yours up!

With children spending more time watching TV and playing games on their electronic devices, parents are encouraged to limit their child’s TV, video game and computer time. Parents can set a good example by being active themselves. “Physical Activity is one of the best things people can do to improve their health. It is vital for healthy aging and can reduce the burden of chronic diseases and prevent early death” (CDC).
