ENGLISH I RALLY WINNERS From the Principal
Dear Parents,Thank you to all who worked the Fair this weekend and to all who supported it in any way. We were blessed with beautiful weather and as soon as bills are paid and we receive the final totals, we will publish those figures. The kids all seemed to have a great time; the food and drink were good, and there were no incidents of any kind to mar the good times. All the proceeds will go to benefit the school.
We had some great news on the academic front this weekend. Each year we send four students to Southeastern for District Literary Rally. Results for the contest were very rewarding. In English 1, Luke Yoes finished 2nd and will represent the school a the State Literary Rally at LSU in April. Our other representative in English 1 was Alex Von Almon. Alex placed a very respectable fourth.
In Algebra 1 Scott Felder placed 1st and, although we do not compete in the same division as the other schools in Tangipahoa Parish, Scott had the highest score in Tangipahoa Parish. He will represent the school at LSU at the State Rally also. Taylor Ransom also took the test a finished fourth. We congratulate these students and appreciate the fact that they represented the school so well.
In addition, two students will advance to the State Social Studies and Science Fairs after placing locally. Amelia Johnson will represent the school at the state Science Fair and Kitch Taylor will represent the school at the State Social Studies Fair.
It gives all of us great pleasure to see our students excel. The awards are reflective of all the good work all of our students, the support of their families, and the efforts made in our classrooms.
—Dr. Gerard Toups

Strawberry Festival Parking
This year the Strawberry Festival is April 3-4-5. As many of you know, St. Joseph School parks cars for the Strawberry Festival. This is a major fund raiser for the school. Last year parking was a huge financial success. We parked close to 1800 cars in two days. That success was due to the volunteers.We are again asking for volunteers for this year’s event. Please see the attached flyer for days and times. You can e-mail Jeff Schmitt at j2ads@bellsouth.net or contact him at 985-320-7711 to sign up or for details.
We had a great Spring Fest, so let’s keep that momentum going for the Strawberry Festival Parking!
