The Lion's Roar
"We follow Jesus in our thoughts, words, and actions every day by
learning to love, loving to serve, and serving to lead." ~SJPS student recited Mission
Dear families,
Happy Catholic Schools Week 2020! What a beautiful kick-off event we had last Saturday at SJPS! Please remember that today is the last day for Early Bird Registration! I am looking forward to begin planning for next school year! Please take advantage of saving some money and register today!
What a beautiful kick-off event we had last Saturday at SJPS!
It was a wonderful opportunity to get families into our building and classrooms and share all the exciting things that we have going on at school. Thank you for your responses to the survey. We are looking for feedback to make our events even better!
Here's what some of you had to say:
"We love that the chili dinner and the open house are on the same night!"
"The activities for the kids to do were fun and engaging."
"Lots of people, good vibes."
"I loved the open house aspect. The passport was fun to complete. The scheduled activities were great. The displays were fun to view. The religious medals!!!! I thought this was the best one yet!"
"The cafeteria was full of school and church families socializing."
"It appeared to be well attended and successful."
"It was great seeing old friends and meeting new families!"
"The High Interest projects were a pretty major attraction; drawing people to the gym to look at student work. While I was not in the gym for long, each time there I saw several parents and others milling about. It seemed like a great way to advertise the school as well as draw people from the Chili event who otherwise may not have left the cafeteria."
"It was great to see our mascot wandering the building, making an appearance in the classrooms and halls."
Overall I am very happy with how the event turned out. I wasn't able to try any chili but the smells were delicious and came all the way up to the middle school rooms on our second floor. I also know from the kids that they enjoyed traveling around the school having their Passports to Learning stamped!
