It's Christmas in our new home!

Tomorrow is December 1st!  Wow has this year flown by.  We had an terrific open house in November.  The parents were very excited about what St. Joseph School had to offer.  The teachers were teaching and the Student Council served as hosts and everyone seemed to be very happy.  It was a great night and hopefully help parents make the decision to send their child to STJ.

We are preparing for Christmas now.  The school is all decorated and the students are getting very excited.  Our basketball teams are in full swing and the ski program is getting organized as I write.  The cheerleaders are working hard on their sidelines and plan on cheering at this week's varsity game.

We have all kinds of events planned for this month.  Our Student Council is very busy.  Last month they sponsored an "all the fixin's" food drive.  We have traditionslly collected turkerys but had nowhere to store them this year, so they decided to have a food drive to provide all the other foods served on Thanksgiving.  Mrs. Hamel brought box after box of food to the Food Bank. 

They are also sponsoring a pajama drive in conjunction with Scholastic Books.  Every pair of pajamas we collect will be paired up with an age appropriate book to donate. 

The Council is meeting this week to plan the Christmas Basket Raffle.  They still have to decide what charity will benefit.

So busy--- but we are always reminded --- the reason for the season.  Jesus is why we are here,  why we celebrate and what this is all about.  We are proud to have as our patron, the man God felt was worthy of raising our Savior. 

Have a great season --- will be back soon!
