First year in uniforms for the 1st grade The doors of St. Joseph School were opened for the seventieth time last week. While the uniforms have changed, the commitment to excellence in Catholic education has not. New smart boards, due to the P.T.A.'s successful fundraising, greeted the children. The excitement of seeing old friends and meeting new teachers was electric. After a brief welcome by Dr. Kilbride, Principal and Father Joe, Pastor, it was off to the new class assignments. The school welcomes all to their 70th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, October 17th, 2009, where the past and present school community will come together to celebrate the jewel that is St. Joseph School!
