Catholic Schools Week 2008:
Catholic Schools Light the Way
St. Joseph school will begin the celebration of Catholic Schools Week on Sunday, January 27 during our St. Joseph School Open House. This year’s theme is “Catholic Schools Light the Way,” with a stained-glass logo that underscores our faith-based education and the light of knowledge we strive to kindle in our students. We will continue our celebration with special activities throughout the week. Come see how we light the way!
Sunday, January 27:
1:15-2:45 Open House Activities
- Open House and New Student Tours. This is an opportunity for prospective students and their families to find out how St. Joseph School Lights the Way by touring the faith filled, academically rich school environment we provide. This is also a chance for students and their families to meet with their teachers, see their students’ work on display, and explore the rest of the school.
- Be sure to pay close attention while touring the St. Joseph School in order to participate in our school “Eye Spy” Contest.
- Back by popular demand: Don’t forget to stop by the gym to participate in the St. Joseph School Basketball Shootout Contest. (School Gym) We will be accepting donations of a canned good or boxed food item for the St. Vincent DePaul Society at the registration table. There will be prizes for the top scorers in each of the five grade level divisions. All students are encouraged to join the fun!
