A Message from Principal Rickbeil
Mr. Rickbeil does not have a new video for this week’s newsletter because he has been busy bidding on items for the silent auction. Be sure to outbid him so that you can walk away with some nice items from the Gala! If you are not attending the Gala, supporting the silent auction is a great way to contribute to the event and support the school, and you can bid online here. Remember that the Gala is the BIGGEST fundraiser of the year, with proceeds going directly back into our community to help us retain staff, support our students, and make St. Joe's education affordable for ALL families. Thank you for your support!
