A Message from Principal Rickbeil
In this week’s video, Mr. Rickbeil visits the All Saints Day wax museum with the 4th graders and talks about our upcoming Give Day on Tuesday, November 19. This year, proceeds from our Give Day will help us as our school grows. Enjoy!
No District Busing November 4-5
ISD 197 is not in session November 4-5, therefore there will be no district busing. These are required parent transportation days. District food service will however still provide lunch on these days.
Trunk or Treat - THANK YOU!
Thank you to Joan Jawor and our Home & School Association for sponsoring the Truck or Treat Event last Sunday. Thank you for the many donations that helped to make it possible. It was such a joy seeing all of our St. Joseph’s Community enjoying this fun event together.
Grandparents Day - November 6 - Registration Closing Today!
We look forward to celebrating our Grandparents and Special Friends on Wednesday, November 6. Not all Grandparents are available, and we know that there are many special family members or friends that play a big part in our children's lives. So, please do invite those Special Friends if that is what works best for your family.
This year we would like to invite grandparents and special friends to join us for a light lunch beginning at 12:30pm in the great room. After lunch we will invite students down to join their grandparents and special friends for a dessert and some special time together.
Following dessert, we invite grandparents and special friends to join their grandchildren for our all-school mass at 2:00pm.
Please click here for more information and to RSVP!
We are also in need of parent volunteers to help make this day extra special. Please click here to volunteer!
