St. Joseph's School  - GIVE DAY!

ENHANCING CLASSROOM NEEDS ON NOVEMBER 10, 2022  

St. Joseph Catholic School will be hosting our own Give Day on Thursday, November 10, 2022.

It is through the generous support of alumni, parents, and friends - combined with the ongoing
support of our parish - that we are able to offer an outstanding education to young people that is both faithfully Catholic and academically excellent. 

This year’s Give Day will provide for the immediate needs of our school classrooms – specifically in the area of technology and learning resources.  Nearly a decade has passed since we shifted from the use of overhead projectors and chalkboards in the classroom to a more a dynamic and effective technology called smart boards.  This new technology provides an engaging and interactive opportunity for students to learn, often with touch screen capabilities, that make excellent teachers even more effective.

Our current smart boards are used throughout the entire day within our classrooms, but most have unfortunately reached their end-of-life, are losing full functionality, and must be replaced.  Funds raised during this year’s Give Day will be directed specifically to the important need of starting this technology replacement throughout the school building.  A new Clevertouch Board will cost the school approximately $5,000 for each of the 20+ classrooms in need.

In addition, to our focus on this needed technology, we also hope to introduce some flexible seating and standing desk options in our classrooms, in addition to materials for our advanced learners and our specialists.
