This Week at St Joes - May 31, 2021

St Joseph High School - A Catholic College Preparatory Community

Dear Friends,

Good day, St. Joes. I hope that you seized the soggy weekend weather as an opportunity to relax, recharge, and mentally prepare for a successful week ahead. For our Seniors, the countdown to 2:15PM on Wednesday afternoon marked an emotional milestone moment in their SJ journey. This week, the Class of 2021 will rehearse for graduation, and celebrate Class Day, Baccalaureate Mass, and Graduation with family, friends, and the SJ faculty, staff, and administration. During this very challenging year, the Senior Class courageously accepted their responsibility as Campus leaders and demonstrated impressive determination, maturity, and faith each day. Their inspired leadership set the tone for the entire student body and, as a result, our Cadets Carried On with great pride and perseverance. Well done and thank you, Seniors!

On this Memorial Day, we honor and mourn the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces. We also think of and pray for their family members and loved ones. As always, I will continue to include your family in my daily prayers and intentions. Have a wonderful week.

In Faith and Fellowship,

David J. Klein

President

Cadets Participate in the Students Rebuild Contest

In early May Mrs Sorrentino's students began working on the 2021 Students' Rebuild Challenge. This is our 9th year participating!

This year's theme is Changemakers and students were encouraged to create an award to honor the changemakers in their world.

In total, SJ collected 237 entries, which means that the Bezos Foundation will donate $1,185 in the name of SJ to student leadership programs.

Way to go, Cadets!

Join Us for the Final Pizza & Prayer of the Year: June 2!

Campus Ministry invites all students to attend the final Pizza & Prayer of this school year. This program has become a wonderful tradition at St Joes and has allowed students the opportunity to hear from one another, empathize with each other, and grow in their spirituality.

Pizza & Prayer will take place at St Pius X. Church in Fairfield from 5:00pm - 7:00pm. Members of the senior class will speak collectively about their time at SJ.
