Dear SJB Families,
It is my sincere hope that your family enjoyed summer break. I formally welcome you to the 2021-2022 school year. As the principal, I am eager and excited to begin what promises to be a very successful year.
This year, we will celebrate the school's 125th year in existence! There will be several exciting activities and events that will celebrate our wonderful school. We are grateful to our families for their continued support and for blessing us with their greatest gifts from above, their child(ren). Have a beautiful Labor Day weekend!
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Amy Nelson
Principal

I scream, I scream, SJB screams for Ice Cream!
Students were very excited to see and hear the "Here's the Scoop" ice cream truck enter the playground lot on Thursday afternoon. Each student chose their favorite sweet treat and enjoyed time together as a school family. Thank you to the Gentine family for their generosity in treating the students to a tasty treat!

Parents - We Need Your Help |
|
SJB Parents - We are still looking for volunteers for numerous areas of the school
Volunteers are essential members of our SJB school community. We are most successful when parents and families get involved. There are MANY opportunities for sharing your time and special talents with your child's school. We ask you to review the sign-up below and choose few ways to participate in school activities and support SJB.
|
|
All volunteers are required by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee to participate in a Safeguarding Education class. Classes are offered at a variety of times and are currently being offered online. If you have not already taken this class and want to volunteer at SJB, please click here to register for a session that works in your schedule.

Are you looking for a way to help SJB promote our fantastic school? Do you enjoy taking photos, using social media, or even help organize events? We need your help on the school's Marketing Committee.
The SJB Marketing Committee helps tell the community, alumni, and other prospective families about our great school through:
- physical assets (brochures, letters, banners, yard signs, printed ads, billboards, etc.)
- digital assets (photos, video, website copy/information, social media campaigns, etc.)
- organizing events (Plymouth Holiday Parade, Catholic Schools Week, Mill Street Days, etc.)
- building an SJB brand (school spirit apparel, curating our school verbiage, etc.)
- building a network in the parish, community and school families
- and any other ideas that we can come up with!
No prior experience, tools, or knowledge of programs is needed. We simply want more families to help tell our story better. If you do have experience or access to using Canva, Adobe products, editing videos, professional photography/videography equipment, digital advertising campaigns, etc. we would love to use your expertise but it is not required to be a part of the committee.
Worried about the time commitment? The committee meets via Zoom one or two times a month for less than one hour and is flexible to fit your schedule.
If you can help, please contact Principal Amy Nelson at anelson@sjbplymouth.org.

SJB is excited to be hosting an Echo Apprentice for the next two years!
Grace Beumler, a native of Sioux City, IA, is a recent graduate of Northwestern University where she studied theatre, communications, and classics. Last year, she worked as an intern in campus ministry at Northwestern's Catholic Center. Her love of theology and service to the Church drew her to Notre Dame's Echo program.
This year, along with assisting in parish Faith Formation efforts, she will also be helping with SJB's social media. Be on the lookout for a new Instagram account to see all the fun happenings at SJB school!
