A YEAR IN REVIEW: As we settle into summer filled with vacations and camps, we would like to take time to look back at this school year. Goals were set last summer of what we wanted to accomplish this year. Each summer we will set new goals and then review them at the end of the school year. Click here to see a Powerpoint presentation of this Year in Review. If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please email questions@stjosephccschool.net. All feedback will be considered when preparing this year's goals.
ONE SQUARE FOOT AT A TIME: Renovation on the gym has begun!! The walls have been knocked down and the locker rooms have taken shape.
The old tile floor that is currently in the gym was installed in 1978 and is in need of replacing. We have found a great multi-use gym floor that we would like to install this summer. In order to raise the necessary funds, we have launched our “One Square Foot at a Time” campaign.Our goal is to raise $55,000. We are selling square feet for only $10. If you buy 10 ($100), then your name will be engraved on a plaque that will be at the entrance to the gym. What a great memorial for a loved one or a wonderful tribute to someone special. Click here for more details and to purchase your "Square Feet". You can also track the progress, because the floor will become more visible as we get closer to our goal. Remember, we can do it One Square Foot at a Time!
PENNIES FOR PEACE collected $900!! This will help build schools in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan with special emphasis on educating girls. We look forward to raising even more next year, so start collecting your pennies over the summer! Thanks to all the students and their parents who helped support such a good cause.
