from the Principal

From the faculty and staff at St. Joseph ... 

May each of you as part of our SJS family have restful and blessed summer vacation. Please be careful and attentive to your children. Statistics prove that the most dangerous time for elementary age students is the summer vacation time. 

On a different note, and I know I speak for all of the new teachers from the South Shore, I thank you for welcoming us to your wonderful community and making us feel so much at home. Your graciousness and hospitality has been unparalleled. 

I personally look forward to next year with enthusiasm and with confidence. With your help and with the support of the pastor and parishioners of the Saint Joseph Parish, every year improvements will be made in the curriculum, the plant, and the Christian atmosphere of the school. Keeping with the long tradition of St. Joseph School, it is our intent and desire to serve the Catholic students of Ponchatoula better each year.
