We will be having an "SJS Coffee Day" with Villa Mocha on December 1st. Mark your calendar.

The Christmas Shop (formerly Santa Shop) presented by the 8th grade class is back this year! It will be held during school hours on Wednesday-Friday, 12/1-12/3.  Each class will have a shopping time for students to select gifts for their loved ones. All items will be priced at $5 or less. There will also be a candy cane pull for out of uniform passes. A shopping list reminder will be sent home with students on 11/29.

A huge thank you to all the 40+ families that contributed to the Cavalier Call Trick or Treat event! With your help, we were able to gather over $4K in donations, which included gift cards, wine and liquor to support the Cav Call auction. As a thank you, any family that donated to the Halloween event will have an out of uniform day on Monday, November 22nd.

The Christmas Holidays are approaching quickly and once again we would like to ask your help in showing our appreciation to all the teachers and staff at St. Joseph School. We are counting on your generosity in making a donation toward Christmas gifts. The money collected from all families will be divided and used to purchase gift certificates for each teacher including teacher aides, special teachers and other staff.

We hope that this will save you the time and energy normally spent in purchasing individual gifts. In the past some children did still give their homeroom teacher a small gift; however, this is not really necessary, as the teachers do understand that their "wish list" gift is made possible through the generosity of their students and students' families.

While we do not want to ask for a specific amount from each family, we suggest that you consider the amount you might normally spend as a family in purchasing teachers' gifts.

You can send payment via Venmo "Teacher Christmas" to

@SJS-PTO, or send cash or

a check made payable to

St. Joseph PTO in an envelope marked "Teachers".

Your child may send the envelope to the office in his/her homeroom's message envelope. We ask that all contributions be turned in by December 7 so that our committee will have time to coordinate the gifts.

We thank you in advance

for your generosity.

Sincerely, PTO Christmas

Gift Committee

Please know that if you have an appointment for your child during the school day, it is VERY important for you to email ALL of their teachers and the OFFICE. (Mrs. Horstkamp and Mrs. Barbian).

If you can make the appointment for early in the morning or late in the afternoon, please do so. This is less disruptive for everyone. We know that sometimes it is hard to get appointments after school. You can bring your child back to school after an appointment, but it is important to make that clear in your email to the teachers, and Mrs. Horstkamp and Mrs. Barbian.

We ask that NEW toys be brought to school from Nov. 12 - 19. The donations can be placed in boxes in front of the school office anytime that week. 

now through midnight next Tuesday, November 23rd and offers basketball warmups, volleyball warmups, new SJS socks, the uniform 1/4 zip and so many other fun items!

Orders will be delivered to school before Christmas break and will be sent home with students UNLESS the order was noted as a gift during checkout. NOTE: If you are ordering items for gifts, please make sure to note this during checkout so your gift can be set aside for pickup at school.
