St. Joseph School Thanks Friends

St. Joseph Middle School students in the school science lab conduct a science demonstration for parents during Catholic Schools Week.

St. Joseph School will be bringing another successful school year to a close this June and wishes to thank its school families and many friends for their support throughout the year. The school is pleased to present these fond memories of some of the highlights of the second semester.

Eighth graders visit the second grade classroom to work on a project together. Experts agree another great advantage of a K-8 school is the opportunity for the older students to mentor the younger. Older students set a Christ-like example for the younger students at St. Joseph School. A friend for a day, a memory for a lifetime. These buddies will be in touch long after Buddy Up Day at St. Joseph School. St. JosephSchool's annual musical this year was The Wizard Of Oz, which played to a packed house. One of the most popular PTA events is the Father Daughter Dance; this year's theme was "An Enchanted Castle". The sixth grade did projects on the Classical World for this year's Social Studies Fair. The Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth grades all participated in the Social Studies Fair. The real winners of the 2007 Limited Raffle are in the Grand Prize car (flanked by Principal Dr. Eileen Kilbride and Pastor Father Joseph Schlafer) - the students at St. Joseph School.
