PRINCIPAL NOTE
We have had several new students join the school this week. Thank you to the parents who are recommending St. Joe’s to their friends and family members. This week students participated in the mandated bus safety training. Over the last two weeks we have had 5 new Clevertouch boards installed to replace the aging Promethean boards.
Ms. Wenner and I participated in School Law Day with the Archdiocese. It is one of my favorite workshop activities each year. Next week we will be out on Tuesday and Wednesday attending the Minndependent Conference in Brainerd. We are looking forward to the challenging topics that are being addressed at the conference.
THANK YOU
Thank you to the family that is donating the PC for our 3D printer in the Makerspace lab. The family wishes to remain anonymous, but we know that the community is grateful for the donation so the children can use the equipment.
Thank you to the families that have registered for lunch and recess coverage. The students love to see you here and it gives a teacher a needed break from the duty schedule. We are blessed to have you here.
