Dear Parents & Guardians –
​
As we are coming to the end of the month of October, I wanted to remind you about our two campaigns that are also coming to a close (“Pennies for Life” and “Hurricane Relief”).  We will still be accepting donations to these campaigns through the end of this month.  For those who would still like to contribute to either the “Pennies for Life” or “Hurricane Relief” campaign, checks can be sent to the school office and made out to: Saint Joseph School.  Please write “Pennies for Life” or “Hurricane Relief” in the memo section of your check. 
​
I would also like to thank all of those that provided feedback to us by utilizing the iPads to complete the Parent Survey during our parent/teacher conference days.  If you did not have the opportunity to take advantage of providing feedback at that time, we will send out a paper copy of the survey next Wednesday, November 1st.  We ask that you please complete it and send it back in to school by no later than the following Wednesday, November 8th.  Your feedback is very valuable and important to us as we are in the process of our Middle States Re-Accreditation process.

Next Tuesday, October 31st, we will hold a Dress Down Day.  The proceeds from this will be put towards the “Hurricane Relief” campaign.  Students may dress down in orange and black by making a donation of $1 or more.  Please send in your donation in an envelope with your child’s name and grade marked Dress Down Day.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar regarding upcoming events:

• PICTURE RETAKE DAY will be held on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26TH

Dear Parents & Guardians –
​
During the month of October, our school is celebrating Respect Life Month.  One of the ways that we celebrate this month is by collecting money for the “Pennies for Life” campaign.  Pennies for Life is an initiative by our diocese to support local crisis pregnancy centers, to educate people on pro-life issues, and to counsel post-abortive women. Participants are asked to donate one dollar for each year of their lives in thanksgiving to God for the life He has given them, and to help “give life” to another person. Please help us contribute to this campaign with your donation.  Checks can be sent to the school office and made out to: Saint Joseph School.  Please write “Pennies for Life” in the memo section of your check.  Give the gift of life this October - please give generously!

Please Note: There has been a change to the dates for our upcoming Book Fair.  The dates for the Book Fair have been changed to: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26TH to TUESDAY, OCTOBER  31ST.
